The [[Arabic language|Arabic]] word '''{{Lang|ar-latn|maqbara}}''' ({{lang|ar|مقبرة المسلمين}} "[[mausoleum]]"; ''plural'': {{lang|ar|مقابر}} '''''maqâbir''''') is derived from the word '''qabr''', which means [[grave (burial)|grave]]. Though {{lang|ar-latn|maqbara}} refers to the graves of all [[Muslims]], it refers especially to a Muslim [[cemetery]]. In some Islamic cultures (especially Indo-Pak-influenced) it refers also to the graves (raula or [[rauza]]) of religious figures or Waliyullahs considered to have dedicated their life to [[Islam]], striving to be true Muslims and training others to follow Islam as preached by the [[Islamic prophet]] [[Muhammad]].<br />
<br />
In Asian countries, {{lang|ar-latn|maqbara}} also refers to the [[dargah]] of Waliyullahs, [[Sufis]], [[Sheikhs]], [[Imams]], Qutbs and Ghouses. There are many dargahs of Waliyullahs all over India, and their {{lang|ar-latn|maqbaras}} are found therein.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Norwalk Hour |publisher=The Norwalk Hour |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3U81AAAAIBAJ&dq=%22Maqbara%22&pg=PA25&article_id=4402,5425659 |language=en}}</ref><br />
