For millennia, faith has pushed people to build grand, extravagant structures to honor and worship their gods, including churches, synagogues, temples, mosques, and more. But you don’t need to be a believer to be awed by the beauty of religious buildings around the world. Case in point: the stunning Imam Ali Mosque.
@visit Magical Iraq🇮🇶✨ This is the Imam Ali Mosque, one of the most visited Islamic sites in the world that's famously known as the burial place of Imam Ali, a companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. A lovely place to meditate and self-reflect, this shows the praying area around the shrine. 💭 How beautiful is this place? 💙 📍 Imam Ali Mosque, Iraq Ig: @seiftamer_
The Imam Ali Shrine complex (often known more simply as the Imam Ali Mosque) in the city of Najaf, Iraq, is one of the holiest sites for Shia Muslims all around the world. Built in honor of Imam Ali — Prophet Mohammed’s cousin and son-in-law — it attracts millions of pilgrims each year.
