The "Religions of the Book" definition, applied to Judaism, Christianity and Islam, is certainly imprecise and can be questioned; but it does exist, and by visiting this mausoleum the foundations upon which this definition may have been born and may have been accepted, can be verified.
We stopped in the city of Qeydar (or Ghydar) during our transfer from Hamadan to Soltaniyeh. Our driver had announced to us the visit to the "tomb of a Hebrew prophet".
In fact, the mausoleum (apparently built at the beginning of the XIVth century) doesn't show evident Jewish elements (as it has, for example, the Esther and Mordecai's tomb, what we had just visited in Hamadan). Everything appears instead to be compliant to the Islamic tradition: the prevalence of the green color, the interior "muqarnas" decorations, the inscriptions on the walls, the tomb itself. And on the other hand, the name of this prophet, Qeidar, was unknown to us.
The sources in Western languages on this mausoleum are few and often inaccurate. The itto.org site - which wrongly situates the mausoleum into the city of Abhar, 80 Kms to the east - defines Qeidar "one of the prophets of the Bani Israili clan" ("Bani Israili" means "lineage of Israel", which - beware - it isn't the same thing as "Hebrews").
We believe we have understood a little more about the prophet, when, having been received - very friendly, as almost always in Iran - inside the mausoleum, we were given a sheet reproducing a long genealogical tree, written in kufic alphabet.
One of our fellow travelers, who reads and a little understands Arabic, has translated for us the genealogical tree. It begins with Adam, continues with well-known figures of the biblical tradition, such as - among others - Methuselah, Noah, Jonah, Lot, Abraham.
From two out of three sons of Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael, the Jews and the Arabs respectively descend. From Isaac, through Jacob, the tree arrives among others at Mary and Jesus. From Ishmael it reaches Muhammad, by a long chain that also includes Qaidar, the prophet buried here.
So, with Muhammad on the left side, with Jesus on the right one (both written in red, to mark their primacy over other prophets), the genealogical tree ends.
Do I still need to explain why this monument, along with this document, deeply impressed us?
