The maqam attributed to Seth (Şît) — in Islamic tradition the son of Adam and a prophet said to have received scriptures — is one of three tombs adjoining the eastern section of the Tarsus Grand Mosque, beside the maqams of Luqman and Caliph al-Ma'mun. The TDV İslâm Ansiklopedisi article on Tarsus notes that Seth's grave is 'believed' to be here, marking this as traditional belief rather than historical certainty; hence it is presented as a 'maqam (grave certainty disputed).'
