History and geographical location:
The Hazrat Hussein ibn Musa Al-Kazem (AS) Institute constructed a library near to the mausoleum of the precious brother of Imam Reza (AS) with multiple purposes to advance the development of its cultural activities and reinforce the principles and religious beliefs of the people, especially young and teenaged individuals, and promote education of Ahl al-Bayt (AS). On the west side of the holy shrine, there are three floors of this library with an area of 1,860 square meters. At the end of 1998, it started construction and was put into operation at the beginning of 2001. The Cultural Institutions of Astan Quds, including Hazrat Hossein ibn Musa al-Kazem (AS) and the tomb of Martyr Ayat Modares (RAH), were given the responsibility of managing it. The proximity to the blessed threshold of Musa ibn Ja'far (AS) son, its spiritual atmosphere, and the ability to host various cultural programs have made this library a popular destination for science and knowledge lovers.
