Roza Bal

El Roza Bal, Rouza Bal o Rozabal es un santuario ubicado en el barrio de Khanyar en el centro de la ciudad de Srinagar en Cachemira, India. La palabra roza significa tumba, y la palabra bal significa lugar.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] Los lugareños creen que un sabio está enterrado aquí, Yuzasaf o Yuz Asaf (o Youza Asouph), junto a otro hombre santo musulmán, Mir Sayyid Naseeruddin.

La capilla permaneció relativamente desconocida hasta que el fundador del movimiento Ahmadía, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, afirmó en 1899 que era en realidad la tumba de Jesús.^[6] Hoy día, los ahmadíes mantienen ese punto de vista, aunque es rechazado por los cuidadores suníes de la capilla, uno de los cuales dijo "la teoría de que Jesús está enterrado en cualquier lugar de la faz de la tierra es blasfema para el Islam."^[7]
