The Madurai Maqbara (Tamil: மதுரை மக்பரா; Arabic: مدهر مقبرة) is a dargah complex that contains the mausoleums of three Sufi saints: Mir Ahmad Ibrahim, Mir Amjad Ibrahim, and Abdus Salaam Ibrahim; and is situated in Kazimar Big Mosque, Madurai, in the state of Tamil Nadu, India.
The Arabic, the word maqbara means mausoleum, and is derived from the word qabr, meaning grave. Though maqbara refers to the graves of all Muslims, it refers especially to the graves (Raula or Rauza) of religious figures or Waliyullahs who dedicated their life to Islam, striving to be true Muslims and training others to follow Islam as first preached by the Islamic prophet Muhammad.
