Biography

Uwais ibn Unais al-Qarani (Arabic: أويس ابن أنيس القرني‎‎), was a Muslim martyr from Yemen who lived during the lifetime of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. His shrine was in Raqqa, Syria before it was destroyed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in 2013. Another shrine was constructed in his honor in Baykan, in the Siirt Province of Turkey.

Life

Uwais' father, ʻAmir, was a strong believer in Islam. He died when Uwais was young.

Martyrdom in the Battle of Siffin

In Al-Sham in 657 ACE, Uwais fought on the side of Caliph ʻAli against Muʻawiyah ibn Abu Sufyan in the Battle of Siffeen. As reported by Ibn Battuta, Uwais was killed in this battle.

Damage of Uwais' Tomb

On March 11, 2013 the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant bombed and heavily damaged the tombs of Uwais and ʻAmmar ibn Yasir located in Raqqa.

Uwaisi Order

The Uwaisi form of Islamic mysticism was named after Uwais, as it refers to the transmission of spiritual knowledge between two individuals without the need for physical interaction between them.
