Sayyid Nazar Habl al-Mateen, Secretary-General of Imam Ali Holy Shrine, and the engineers of Kawthar Company, have examined the ongoing works of re-gilding the holy dome.

 


Habl al-Mateen said in a statement to the Media Center of the Holy Shrine, “50% of the work has been accomplished or the larger part of the dome. What remains is the smaller upper part, which will be completed soon.”

“The project may have a fixed date of completion; however, we prefer durability and quality to speed. Our focus and main aim is to re-gild the holy dome of the Commander of the Faithful in the most perfect manner to better resist against severe weather conditions, even if we pass the scheduled date of completion,” he added.

An official from the executing company, Engineer Hassan Bolarak, stated, “We will most likely unveil the new golden dome of Imam Ali on Rabee’a al-Awal, which will correspond to the special occasion of the birth anniversary of the Messenger of Allah.”

The engineer pointed out that 4000 bricks were re-gilded out of the total 9000.
