About Grave of Shaykh Husein Horosani, Oglavak

This small turbe stands in an old graveyard in the woods near Oglavak, between Fojnica and Kiseljak. It holds the grave of Husein Horosani, whose name points to a family from Khorasan; tradition remembers him as one of the scribes of the famous ahdnama of Sultan Mehmed al-Fatih. Shaykh Abdurrahman Sirri of the Oglavak zawiya built the turbe over his grave. It was destroyed in 1993 and has since been rebuilt, and in 2018 it was declared a national monument together with the Oglavak zawiya, a short walk away. It is a peaceful place to recite al-Fatiha among the old headstones.
