The magnificent structures of the sanctuary of Imam al-Ridha (a.s.), comprise one of the oldest and most beautiful religious monuments in the world.
At the Kufa’s Grand Mosque, Imam Ali, (while in a state of Sujood of morning Salat), on the 19th of Ramadhan, was attacked and hit with a poisoned sword. He was hit on the head by an assassin. Imam Ali died of the wound after 3 days on Leilatul Qadr, and he was buried at a spot that remained unknown except by his family.
Of the many Islamic holy sanctuaries, many stand out not only as outstanding from spiritual, but also historic and design point of view. For the past 1400 years these hallowed sanctuaries evolved as they went through many historical events of great magnitude.
