By: Ismail Zabeeh
HOLY SAMARRA, Iraq: First phase of reconstruction work of
the destructed holy shrine of Al-Imam Ali An-Naqi Al-Hadi (AS) and
Al-Imam Al-Hasan Al-Askari (AS) in the northern Iraqi holy city of
Samarra has been completed.
Assam Ghidan, director of the task and an engineer affiliated with
UNESCO, told this.
He further said the first stage included removing debris from ‘Sardab
Al-Gheybah’ (the place wherefrom Imam Al-Mehdi (AS) was disappeared).
Ghidan said taking out debris from the holy shrine was considered the
most difficult stage of the rebuilding procedure. The debris contained
precious and valuable items from the shrine.
Terrorists destructed the holy Al-Askariyain shrine twice in 2006 and
2007 leveling its holy golden dome and two minarets.
According to Ghidan the second phase includes constructing new
structure.
UNESCO had sent a delegation of engineers to Turkish city Istanbul to
know about particular points of construction of a number of its
historical buildings, tombs and mosques to strengthen professional
face of their task in Samarra.
A Bangladeshi artist engaged in the task Shahidollah Alati said: “Work
in reconstruction of the holy shrine is a great honour.”
