Uwais Qarni, known also as Saint Uwais Qarni (Arabic: أويس بن انيس القرني, also transliterated Oways b. Anis al-Qarni, Oveys Gharani and Veysel Karani) was an Arab Muslim mystic, martyr and philosopher of Yemen who lived during the lifetime of Muhammad, but never met Muhammad personally.[1] As reported by the renowned historical scholar Ibn Battuta, Uwais' tomb is found in Ar-Raqqah, Syria, where he was killed in the Battle of Siffin, where he fought on the side of Ali. Another shrine was made in his honor in Baykan, in the Siirt Province of Turkey.[2]
