A very holy and religious place with such an energy and everyone is believing a lot! This is one of the most fascinating islamic buildings I have ever seen and I can feel it a lot there!
It is having a lot of security there and everyone is hyped to go in and be there! I loved being there and can highly recommend you going there as well when being in Mashhad or in Iran in general!
The Shrine is amazing but I wasn't taking a picture of it! Also the whole complex is just impressive!

The sanctuary of Imam Reza (peace be upon him) in Mashhad Al-Maqdisa is one of the most famous religious buildings built in Iran. The building, which has the richest characteristics and elements of Iranian-Islamic architecture, annually receives millions of visitors and tourists, and has been renovated and renovated several times so far.

Mashhad, which was initially a small village built in Tus and in the village of Sanabad. This place became important after the burial of Harun al-Rashid in it, as it was known as the “Harounian Spot.” After the burial of Aaron and by order of Al-Ma'mun, a mausoleum was built around the tomb in the Khorasani architectural style.
Before Imam Reza (peace be upon him) traveled to Merv, he informed his followers that this place would be his burial place. After the imam’s martyrdom in Tus, his pure body was buried in that spot, and its name was changed to “Mashhad al-Ridha.” The tomb of Harun al-Rashid until the era of the emergence of the "Sarabdaran" government could be seen under the imam's grave, but the Sarbadars erased Harun's tomb.
Who built the first dome on the sanctuary?
After the Imam's martyrdom, he was buried in the upper part of Aaron's tomb. This spot was repaired several times during the era of the “Samanids, Daylamites, and Ghaznavids” and decorations were added to it, but the first dome built over the shrine of Imam Reza (peace be upon him) was by order of Sultan Sanjar the Seljuk over the holy shrine. The type of this dome was made of qashi and muqarnas decorated with mirrors, and it remains until now. Sultan Muhammad Khwarizmshah also decorated this dome with the best types of qashi at that time and also issued an order to add two mihrabs to the sanctuary. The dome lighthouse was built in the Ghaznavid era by order of Ibn al-Mu'tazz, the ruler of Shiraz
