Continuing Restrictions In Shah Nematollah Vali Shrine

 

 

The bookstore that is located in Tomb of “Shah Nematollah Vali”*, was shut down due to Intelligence forces pressure and preventing to extend rent.

It is notable that, the most of the books which was sold in bookstores had real Mysticism and Sufism topics.

Some efforts to downplay this “Holy Sepulcher” take place there so that the number of shrine custodians have been reduced, visit of the ” Chelleh Khane Shah Nematollah Vali” room are completely prohibited, and the usual religious ceremonies which were held each year in this place, have been prevented and even, according to one of the custodians reports, they have been warned to close this Holy Shrine!

It seems that the steps leading to the destruction of Sufi tombs in the country like as: ” Moshtaghiyeh” in Kerman city and Sheikh Ahmad al-Ghazali’s tomb in Qazvin city.

These buildings that is undoubtedly Iran Cultural Heritage is about to destroy due to ignorance and lack of knowledge of officials of spirituality and culture in such places.

These actions show the wise people that unfortunately there are wills to destroy spiritual and cultural aspects of our country.
