AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): A Yemeni delegation visited the shrine of Imam Reza (AS) in Mashhad, also paying a visit to its central library.
Sayyid Mohammed Abdulazim al-Houthi, along with a seven-member delegation from Yemen, met with Hojat-ol-Islam Seyed Jalal Hosseini, head of the Organization of Libraries, Museums, and Documentation Center of Astan Quds Razavi, as well as other senior officials.
The delegation toured various sections of the central library within the shrine complex.
During the meeting, Hosseini highlighted the library’s collection of valuable Quranic resources and noted its unique collection of texts from other religious traditions, such as the Torah and the Bible.
Hosseini also outlined the library’s extensive activities, including the services provided by the central library and its network of 60 affiliated libraries across Iran, which annually support a large number of scholars and researchers.
At the meeting, Hosseini presented several gifts to al-Houthi, including a catalog of Astan Quds Razavi's manuscript collection, a copy of a rare Quran attributed to the handwriting of Imam Ali (AS), and a two-volume Arabic publication titled Kashaf, a catalog of Yemeni manuscripts preserved at the library.
The Yemeni delegation also toured the library's manuscript storage area and the specialized library for Quranic and Hadith studies.
