Introduction
This shrine in al-Ahmadiyah village, east of Qazaniyah in Diyala Governorate, is locally known as the shrine of Imam Karz al-Din. Iraqi news reports identify it as a prominent regional place of visitation and record large seasonal attendance, especially around spring and Newroz. The reports also show that visitors come from Diyala, neighbouring governorates and the Kurdistan Region.
The historical identity of the person is not securely established. One modern news report calls the figure Imam Ahmad ibn Ja'far al-Tayyar, while local devotional media use the name Ahmad ibn Zayd and present a longer descent through Ja'far al-Tayyar. These formulations are not identical, and no independently verified classical genealogy was found that resolves the difference. The record therefore keeps Ahmad Karz al-Din as the local shrine-name and does not present either lineage formula as settled history.
The site has a living religious and social role among communities in and around Qazaniyah. Modern reporting specifically mentions visitors from Fayli Kurdish and Kakai communities as well as Muslim visitors more broadly. The seasonal gatherings, local hospitality and continued attachment to the place form part of the religious landscape and collective memory of eastern Diyala.
This page treats the location as an attributed shrine, not as an independently proven early burial. It preserves the present shrine identity and the competing local traditions while avoiding invented dates, a fixed family tree or an unsupported claim that all sources identify the person in the same way. The most reliable conclusion is that the site is a well-established modern place of visitation whose early personal identity remains limited-source and under cautious study.
Historical / Religious Importance
The site's strongest verified importance is its continuing regional visitation and its role in the collective religious memory of eastern Diyala. Contemporary reports document the shrine's location, seasonal crowds and visitors from several communities and regions.
The early personal identity is much less certain than the modern place identity. Because local sources preserve conflicting lineage formulations and no independent classical genealogy resolves them, the site remains a limited-source attributed shrine. Its cultural value is real, but the genealogy must remain explicitly provisional.

Notes: ARTICLE ROLE: SECONDARY ATTRIBUTED PLACE. Modern Iraqi reporting supports the shrine in al-Ahmadiyah village east of Qazaniyah, its spring/Newroz visitation, and visitors from Fayli Kurdish, Kakai and broader Muslim communities. The reports do not agree on the figure's exact identity: one uses Ahmad ibn Ja'far al-Tayyar, while local devotional material uses Ahmad ibn Zayd with a longer claimed descent. No independent classical genealogy was verified, so Ahmad Karz al-Din remains the local shrine-name and neither lineage is presented as settled history.
