Currently, there is a magnificent structure which is comprised of four gates, five porches, a large courtyard and a [[darih]]. Following the collapse of [[Saddam Hossein]] and the presence of Iranians, the shrine is being expanded. Recently a large courtyard is being been built in the western section of the shrine, and it has been named after the [[Lady Fatima (a)]]. It will increase the total area of the shrine to 140,000 square meters. Many [[faqih]]s and scholars are buried in this section. | Currently, there is a magnificent structure which is comprised of four gates, five porches, a large courtyard and a [[darih]].
