The Sanctuary of Imam 'Ali
(Arabic: حَـرَم ٱلْإِمَـام عَـلِي, romanized:
Ḥaram al-Imām ‘Alī),
also known as the Mosque of 'Ali
(Arabic: مَـسْـجِـد عَـلِي, romanized:
Masjid ‘Alī),
located in Najaf, Iraq, is a Shi'ite
Muslim mosque housing the tomb of
'Alī ibn Abī Tālib, the cousin of
Muhammad and the first Shi'ite
Imam after him, and the fourth
Sunni Rashid Caliph.
According to Shi'ite belief, buried
next to Ali within this mosque are
the remains of Adam and Nuh (Noah).
Each year over 8 million of pilgrims
visit the Shrine and pay tribute to
Imam Ali.
Ibn Battuta visited the shrine in 1326,
noting that it was "carpeted with
various sorts of carpets of silk and
other materials, and contains
candelabra of gold and silver,
large and small." Between the
three tombs, "are dishes of gold
and silver, containing
rose-water, musk and various kinds
of perfumes. The visitor dips his hand
in this andanoints his face with
it for a blessing.
The mosque is well known for its big
dome. Near its big door are two
minarets. The big dome is covered in
7777 brick slabs painted in gold, there
are also turquoise mosaics that
cover the side and back walls.
Entrance to the shrine is through
three main monumental portals on
the eastern, northern and southern sides.
