(بury me in the public library at the feet of the researchers of the sciences of Al Muhammad (PBUH))

 According to the Public Relations Office of the university, students from Qom University of Technology, with the efforts of the university's Red Crescent Society, visited the Ayatollah Marashi Najafi (RA) library on Tuesday, 9/8/91.

 According to the explanations of the library's Public Relations Manager, this library, with two hundred and fifty thousand printed books and twenty-five thousand manuscripts, is considered the third largest library in Iran and the Islamic world. In the library of Ayatollah Ali Marashi Najafi, there are examples of very ancient and precious printed materials from the 10th and 11th centuries AH in Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Latin, Armenian, French, Tatar, and Uzbek languages.

 He added: This library was established at the personal expense of Ayatollah Marashi Najafi (RA). In his will, he stated: "Bury me in the public library at the feet of the researchers of the sciences of Al Muhammad (PBUH)," which is why his shrine is located in this library.

At the end, the students visited not only the printed and manuscript books but also old publications, coins, stamps, and audio-visual tapes.
