80% of Silver Door Dedicated to Honourable al-Muhsin (peace be upon him) Completed at Holy Shrine of al-Abbas
——————————————–
The Holy Shrine of al-Abbas (peace be upon him) in Karbala has announced that 80% of the work on a new silver door dedicated to the Honourable al-Muhsin (peace be upon him) has been completed. The door is expected to be installed inside the shrine in the coming days, following the completion of the remaining manufacturing and preparation work.

Sayyid Nazim al-Ghurabi, head of the Department of Manufacturing Shrine Grilles and Doors at the Holy Shrine, said that technical teams are carrying out the final stages of production. The new door will be installed in the section designated for women inside the shrine, replacing the existing door, which has sustained approximately 70% damage over time.

According to al-Ghurabi, the new door is made of pure 999-grade silver. It measures approximately 2.58 metres in height and 1.97 metres in width, and features inscriptions, decorative patterns and writings dedicated to Lady Fatima al-Zahra (peace be upon her).

The manufacturing process has involved several specialised stages, including metal shaping, ornamentation and engraving, with particular attention to the artistic and architectural requirements of its intended location.

The project forms part of the department’s ongoing programme to maintain and restore the doors and shrine grilles within the holy courtyard and sanctuary. These efforts aim to preserve the architectural and artistic features of the Holy Shrine of al-Abbas (peace be upon him), repair damaged components and ensure their long-term preservation.
