Abstract

The fifth Zarih of Imam Reza is one of the most prominent examples of the art of perfection, which was created in the Islamic Republic after the burnout of the fourth zarih (Shir-o- Shekar) and replaced the Shir-o- Shekar zarih. The design and construction of this design has been accomplished by great professors and artists such as Mahmoud Farshchian, Mohammad Movahed, Mostafa Khodadadzadeh Isfahani, Khodadad Keshtiaraai. The rectangular cubic zarih is adorned with arts such as calligraphy, Etching, stamping and mosaic of khatam, body and interior. The research method is descriptive-analytical and data collection is based on library information and field photography. The findings show that the text of the Aftab zarih contains the verses of Yasin and Dahr from the Holy Quran, the names of the fourteen innocents, Shihadatin Shiite, the mention, divine attributes, al-Qubb and Asma al-Hosna. The calligraphies used in zarih are Sols, Sols Moqtaran. Taaliq and nastaliq letter. In general, inscriptions, in addition to the aesthetics, have been instrumental in providing religious concepts.
