Editor's Note
The Tomb of İsmail Fakirullah is a shrine in the Tillo district (here in Batman/Siirt region) of southeastern Turkey. It was built in the 18th century by his student İbrahim Hakkı Erzurumi after İsmail Fakirullah's death. A mechanism in the tomb reflects the morning sunlight onto the sarcophagus for five minutes each year on 21 March and 23 September; it lost its function in a 1960 restoration and was made functional again in 2011. UNESCO added the tomb to the Tentative List of World Heritage Sites in 2015.
