Afghan Moxammad Mausoleum, Islamic mausoleum in Kasimov, Russia.

The Afghan Moxammad Mausoleum is an Islamic burial site in Kasimov featuring traditional stonework and decorated inscriptions on exterior walls and interior chambers. The structure displays craftsmanship details typical of religious buildings from this period.

Built in 1649 by Ryazan craftsmen on the order of Altın Xanım, daughter of the Khivan khan Hacı Muhammad, as the tomb of her husband Afghan Moxammad Sultan, son of the Khivan khan Arab Muhammad and younger brother of Abu al-Ghazi. Altın Xanım was buried here three years later. It is the only surviving tomb on the old cemetery where Fatima-Sultan and Arslan, the last rulers of the Kasimov Khanate, were laid to rest.

The mausoleum is called a tekie, the Tatar term for a burial vault; its Tatar name is Əfğənmөxəmmət soltan təkiəse. A plaque above the entrance records that Altyn khanym, daughter of the Khivan khan Hajji Muhammad, ordered the tomb for her husband. She was buried here three years later, and the site is the only surviving grave on the old cemetery where Fatima-Sultan and Arslan, the last rulers of the Kasimov Khanate, were laid to rest.

The mausoleum stands on the Old Posad of Kasimov, the town's old settlement quarter on the Oka's left bank, where the historic Tatar cemetery lay. It is the only surviving tomb on that old burial ground, so look for a small two-chamber brick structure rather than a large complex. The entrance plaque above the door records that Altyn Khanym commissioned the building.

Three of the four tombstones inside survive, carved with Arabic script worn down over the centuries. A plaque above the entrance names Altyn khanym as the patron who commissioned the tomb, and she was buried here three years after her husband.
