History of the Imam Reza shrine information


With the establishment of the Safavid dynasty, Shiism was declared the official religion of Iran. In implementing this purpose, the Safavid kings developed the holy places as a place for the Shia people by expanding the culture of endowment and creating endowments. The shrine of Imam Reza in Mashhad, the only tomb of Shia imams in Iran, was the most important religious shrine and the Safavids' focus. The Safavid kings tried to expand it in various ways, including allocating government budgets and endowments and giving ornaments and charity. One of the significant results of their performance was the increase in endowments of the Imam Reza shrine, which continued in the direction of creating a center for the spread of Shia culture, its prosperity, and continuity.
