Khalifa Yerejep

Mizdakhan Necropolis

Khalifa Yerejep (Halfa Rajab / Erejep Qalpe) sits at the western edge of the necropolis. Almost every shrine at Mizdakhan is bound to the number seven — seven domes, seven companions, seven Quran readers. Legend says one brick falls from these walls each year; when the last falls, life on Earth ends. Pilgrims rebuild stacks of seven bricks, believing they add years to the building. The structure likely began as a Sufi khanqah or school before becoming a memorial.
