About Shāh Chérāgh
Shāh Chérāgh (Persian for "King of the Light") is a funerary monument and mosque in Shiraz. It houses the tomb of the brothers Ahmad and Muhammad. The two took refuge in the city during the Abbasid persecution of Shia Muslims. The tombs became celebrated pilgrimage centres in the 14th century when Queen Tashi Khatun erected a mosque and theological school in the vicinity.
