These events are part of the diverse program of the 5th International Al-Sadiqain Week, which includes a wide range of Quranic, cultural, scientific, dialogue and poetry activities, in addition to social events celebrating the birth anniversaries of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and Imam Sadiq (AS) in the vicinity of the Alawi Shrine and throughout the city of Najaf.
The Maktabat Al-Rawdha Al-Haidariyya (Library of the Shrine of Imam Ali (AS)) is one of the oldest and most famous libraries in Najaf, located in the courtyard of the holy shrine of the Commander of the Faithful (AS).
This library, which is also known by other names, has been a place to store rare books and manuscripts of writers and great men in the past, and over the centuries, books have been damaged and destroyed. After the fall of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s regime, the library was revived and reopened by the order of Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the highest Shia authority in Najaf Ashraf. Today, the library has numerous facilities and departments.
