ROZA OF HAZRAT ALI NAJAF

Najaf's main reason for fame, is the shrine of Ali, 4th Caliph of Islam and 1st Imam of Shi'i Islam. Ali is the actual spiritual founder of all Shi'i sects. The shrine is a grand complex that much resembles the ones of other imams around Iraq. The dome is on top of a huge structure with one great gate, with two minarets on either side. Around the structure is a huge courtyard, then another square structure with several smaller gates towards the rest of the city.
Several religious histories are connected to Najaf. According to legends told within a Muslim context, it is said that it is the place where one of Noah's son died as a punishment when he didn't want to enter the Ark. It is said that Abraham and Isaac settled here, and bought a place called Valley of Peace, that Abraham claimed was a part of heaven. Moreover it is said that 70,000 people will gain immediate entrance to Paradise following their visit to Najaf.
