A Muslim cleric reads a prayer beside the new zarih (outer sarcophagus enclosure) for the holy shrine of Imam Hadi (AS) and his son, Imam Hassan Askari (AS), on display at a workshop in Qom on October 16, 2016. Iranian artisans used over 10,000 kg of teakwood, 4,500 kg of silver, 70 kg of gold, and 3,000 kg of copper to make the zarih over the past four years. Following a ten-day showing, it will be transferred to Iraq on October 26 to be installed in the shrine of the two Imams in Samarra. (Tasnim/Amir Hesaminejad)
