Pages

Abstract

 The burial places of Imam Husayn and ‘ Abbas, the commander and standard-bearer of the caravan of Imam al-Husayn in the Battle of Ashura’ , are now located in the city of Karbal, Iraq. There are among the most important visiting places for Shi’ a. These two shrines are located in distance of 378 meters of each other. Each holy shrine consisted of many sacred elements, among which this study focused on Darih. Darih is an Arabic word meaning grave and the cleft in the middle of the grave. However, in Farsi, it refers to a small room, box or a grille-shaped structure made of iron or wood placed on the grave of an Imam or children of Imam. In more detail, Darih is a small room in a rectangular cubic form which separates the space around the grave from the surrounding area. In Imam Husayn shrine, under the dome, there is a large silver, polygonal Darih, in which the graves of Imam al-Husayn and his sons, ‘ Ali Asghar and ‘ Ali al-Akbar, are located. Different Darihs have been built and installed on Imam al-Husayn’ s (a) grave in different periods. The last time when the Darih was changed was in 2011. The purpose of this study is investigating the history of the mentioned Darihs and the qualitative analysis of their inscriptions. The research method is analytical-comparative and the data were collected through library and field studies. The findings show that in the both of two case studies, 13 inscriptions have been built by using three calligraphic techniques called Thuluth, Naskh and Nastaliq. The content analyses of those inscriptions have also shown that the written texts are in the relevance of demonstration of the sacred position and divine status of Imam Husayn and Abbas. Due to the different dimensions of the structure of the two Darihs, there is one row of inscriptions more in the Darih of Imam Husayn. Finally, in terms of the contents the inscriptions of the studied Darihs are divided into four groups: 1-Qur’ anic verses, 2-Names of God in Islam and Fourteen Infallibles, 3-Islamic hadith, and 4-poems, among which the Qur’ anic samples were designed and executed with the more effective and influential designs.
