'''Najaf''' (Arabic: {{ia|النَّجَف}}) is a city in [[Iraq]]. It was inhabited before Islam. Najaf is very important because it is the place of the [[Holy Shrine of Imam Ali (a)]] and [[Hawzat al-'Ilmiyya of Najaf]] (the Islamic Seminary of Najaf). Currently, the city has gained more importance due to the [[Marja']]s who live in this city and are influential in the power structure of Iraq. | '''Najaf''' (Arabic: {{ia|النَّجَف}}) is a city in [[Iraq]].
