Saint

Khwajagi Muhammad Amkanagi

Khwajagi Muhammad Amkanagi, son and successor of Darwish Muhammad, lived in the village of Amkana between Bukhara and Samarkand and was among the last great Naqshbandi masters of Transoxiana. By sending his deputy Baqi Billah to India he enabled the order's passage to the subcontinent. He died in 1008 AH (1600); his grave is reported at Amkana, but no cross-verified coordinates exist for the tomb, so no pin is given. (Source: TDV 'Nakşibendiyye' [Hamid Algar]; al-Hada'iq al-wardiyya.)

Prophets

Prophet Ayyub (Chashma-Ayub maqam)

A maqam attributed to the Prophet Ayyub (Job) near the Samanid Mausoleum in Bukhara — NOT a confirmed grave. Tradition holds Job struck the ground here, producing a healing spring. As multiple sites claim Job's tomb, this is a commemorative shrine; it also holds the grave of the muhaddith Khwaja Hafiz Gunjari (d. 1022). (Sources: Wikipedia; Wikidata Q4273796.)
