He mentioned the creation of a suitable pilgrimage space and welfare and service facilities for pilgrims as the main objectives of this project: the shrines area now holds open-space, library, museum, and restaurant. He stated that the special geographical location of this project has created a valuable spiritual chance for the benefactors and lovers of Ahlul Bayt (A.S) to participate in the development of the holy shrine. Saying: “The courtyard of Lady Zainab (S.A) is located between Imam Hussain’s (A.S) tent and the holy shrine, the same location as the Zainabiyeh hill.
The new building of Tal Zainabiyeh with a beautiful architecture worthy of pilgrims is being constructed next to this symbolic hill.” The head of the Atabat Committee continued: ” The sanctuary of Hazrat Ali Akbar (A.S) with an area of about 2800 square meters is also under construction on the ground floor of the courtyard of Lady Zainab (SA).
