Astan Quds Razavi is a Treasury of Cultural and Artistic Works in the World

An Islamic preacher in Moscow said, “Astan Quds Razavi is a treasury of cultural and artistic works in the world.”

A group of Moscow clergies came to visit the Razavi holy shrine followed by visiting the Qur’an, central, the Supreme Leader’s Donations museums and the center of exhibitions and conferences of Astan Quds Razavi.

Noting that he visited the holy shrine for the first time 20 years ago, Yousef Baqerov remarked, “After that visit, I planned to attend in the Razavi holy shrine once a year along with my family as I love sincerely the Ahl al-Bayt (A.S.) and Imam Reza (A.S.) in particular.”

Describing the expanse and the architecture of the holy shrine very impressive and delicate, he pointed out, “I have visited pilgrimage cities including Karbala, Najaf, Medina, and Mecca but the holy shrine of Imam Reza (A.S.) is the only place that has been labored over to such a vast and delicate shrine.”

In the verge of visiting the museums of Astan Quds Razavi, Baqerov said, “I have visited a lot of museums of Russia and Azerbaijan but the museums of Astan Quds Razavi are not comparable to them in terms of oldness, the objects therein, magnitude, and preservation system.”

Noting that he has seen a tableau in the center of exhibitions and conferences of Astan Quds Razavi reading that an endower of the Razavi holy shrine has endowed as many as 22 villages to this Astan, this Islam preacher said, “It is very interesting and admirable to see that there are such faithful Iranian people who have endowed to Imam Reza (A.S.) all their properties for the way of Islam .”

He also rated good the conditions of the Shi’as in Russia and added, “There is no certain restriction for propagation of the school thought of the Ahl al-Bayt (A.S.) in Russia but we should make a harder push for spreading the pure Muhammadian Islam.”
