Iran willing to fortify Samarra shrine, expand Alavi mausoleum
By: Nabil Raza
BRUSSELS, Belgium: Since the fall of Iraqi dictator
Saddam, the Iranian government has spent more than 64 million dollars
to restore holy sites in the holy cities of Najaf, Karbala and
Kazemain.
Head of Iran's organization for preserving religious sites Mansour
Haqiqatpour while talking to a news agency said that 600 billion Rials
(64.5 million USD) had been spent to restore sacred sites in Iraq over
the past four years.
"One of our plans is to expand the area of the Imam Ali (AS) Shrine,
building a 70,000 square-meter hall and restoring the interior and the
dome," Haqiqatpour said.
"We would be ready to help expand and fortify the holy shrine of
Samarra if security is implemented there," he said.
In Feb 22, 2006, the holy shrine of Imam Muhammad Taqi Al-Jawwad (AS)
and Imam Hasan Al-Askari (AS) in Samarra was destroyed in a terror
bomb attack.

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
