HOLY SHERAIN SYEDHA ZAINEB
Sherain of Syedha Zaneb
Sherain syedha zaineb (a.s) located in the city of Sayyidah Zaynab, in the southern suburbs of Damascus Syria. According to Twelver shia Muslim tradition, the mosque contains the grave of zaneb (a.s), the daughter of imam ali(a.s) and Fatima(a.s) and granddaughter of Hazrat Muhmmad(PBUH). The tomb became a center of Twelver religious studies in Syria and a destination of Muslim pilgrimage cross the Muslim world, beginning in the 1980s. The zenith of visitation normally occurs in the summer. The present-day mosque that hosts the tomb was built in 1990.
The shrine is an example of Shia-Persian architecture and
the dome is gold-leafed. The doors of the shrine are made of pure gold with
mirror works on the roof and walls. The two tall minarets of the shrine are an
excellent example of the architecture. The shrine has a large market in front
of it with many religious things readily available .
The
shrine has been managed by the Mourtada’s (ال مرتضى)
family since the fourteenth century. Financially, the shrine has been funded
mainly by the Iranian government following 1979. Given their financial
investment, the ideological direction of the shrine and the prayer hall follow
Ayatollah Khamanei. The shrine is
dominated by pilgrims until it is closed at 9 pm after the Isha prayer. The
shrine is sometimes seen by some as a place of miracles.
