Al-Tall Al-Zaynabiyya ( Arabic: التل الزینبیة) is the name of a Shi'a Islamic holy place in Karbala, Iraq. [1] [2] [3] It overlooks the site of the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali, who was killed during the Battle of Karbala on the day of Ashura. [4]
During the Battle of Karbala, Ali ibn Abi Talib's daughter and Husayn's sister ( Zaynab) went to Tall Zaynabiyya to stay informed about the status of Ali ibn Abi Talib's son, Husayn ibn Ali. [5] [6]
Al-Tall Al-Zaynabiyya is located at the southwest of Husayn's shrine. It is approximately five meters higher than the floor of the courtyard; its distance to the place where Husayn was killed is almost 35 meters. The site was built like a room with access to a few stages and has a dome with blue tiles. The Tall al-Zaynabiyya was rebuilt in 1978 (near the end of 1398 AH). [7]
Meaning
In Arabic, the word tall ( Arabic: تل) means a projection of soil or sand on the ground, [8] and the word zaynabiyya is related to Zaynab, Ali ibn Abi Talib's daughter. [9] [10]
