The Islamic Research Foundation of Astan Quds Razavi was established in November 1984 at the directive of Ayatollah Tabasi (may he rest in peace), the late custodian of Imam Reza shrine, with the aim of promoting and publishing valuable works in the field of Islamic sciences and culture.
The deputy custodian of Imam Reza shrine has stressed on the necessity to set up a permanent secretariat for the conference of holy shrines custodians besides structural coherence and comprehensive planning.
