According to Atabe News, during the Fatimiyyah mourning days, two Fatimid-themed murals were installed and displayed in the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Courtyard through the efforts of the Cultural and Promotional Content Provision Department of the Holy Razavi Shrine. The initiative aims to use art as a means of explaining the profound teachings of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) school and establishing effective communication with pilgrims and residents of Mashhad.
The first work is a mural measuring 3 by 33 meters, featuring visual elements inspired by the concepts of Wilayah and love for Hazrat Fatimah (SA). It was created by master calligrapher Mehdi Sohrabi Nasr. The artwork was executed using Iranian-made acrylic paint on Tergal fabric. In designing this graphic-calligraphic composition, the artist incorporated authentic motifs from Islamic tilework and traditional calligraphic scripts, including Naskh, Riqa, Diwani and Thuluth.
The second mural, covering an area of approximately 70 square meters, was installed on the northern portico of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) Courtyard. It features an image of the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution during last year's Fatimiyyah mourning ceremony, accompanied by an excerpt from his remarks on the outstanding dimensions of the personality of al-Siddiqa al-Tahira (SA). In his remarks, Hazrat Fatimah (SA) was described as a true leader, with reference to her unparalleled standing in jurisprudence, mysticism and scholarship.
It is worth noting that, under the new approach adopted by the Holy Razavi Shrine's Cultural and Promotional Content Provision Department, efforts are being made to present the profound teachings of the Ahl al-Bayt (AS) school to pilgrims through the language of art and make them accessible to visitors.
