Merger

I vote we merge the articles.
Let us mention that he is believed to be buried both in Iran, and in India or Bangladesh by others. (include the pics I added)
Put the appropriate stub at the bottom, multiple ones if needed.--Zereshk 04:30, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

I agree on the merger proposal. He is, however, not buried in Chittagong,Bangladesh, although there is a mazar (shrine) in Chittagong in his honor. The shrine does not have his grave, nor did he travel to Bangladesh. There are many giant turtles in the shrine, and many legends about these turtles being either blessed by him, or demons/bad people turned to turtles by him. The locals, Hindu and Muslims alike, show their respect to the shrine. --Ragib 04:41, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

Splendid. We can mention that is well then.--Zereshk 12:54, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
