The Sanctuary of ImÄm 'AlÄ«, also known as the Mosque of 'AlÄ«, located in Najaf, Iraq, is a mausoleum which Shia and Sunni Muslims believe contains the tomb of 'AlÄ« ibn AbÄ« TÄlib, a cousin, son-in-law and companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. The ShÄ«'as consider 'AlÄ« as their first ImÄm and the first of the twelve caliphs of Muhammad, and the Sunnis regard him as the fourth Sunni Rashid Caliph. According to ShÄ«'ite belief, buried next to 'AlÄ« within this mosque are the remains of Adam and Nuh (Noah). Each year, millions of pilgrims visit the Shrine and pay tribute to ImÄm 'AlÄ«.
