The Headquarters for the reconstruction of Atbat Aliayat was established in
2002 by Ali Khamenei (other sources mention 2003) and is responsible for the
development of Shi'te shrines in Iraq and since 2014 it has started activities
in Syria as well.
Al-Atabat Al-Aliyat (Arabic: العتبات العالیات lit.
sublime thresholds), which is also known as Al-Atabat Al-Muqaddasa (literally:
holy doorsteps) are the shrines of six Shia Imams (which are part of the
Twelver Shi'ites) located in four cities of
Iraq, namely Najaf, Karbala, Kadhimiya and Samarra; and actually the whole of
these Imams' shrines (graves) are called Atabat Aliyat. The mentioned cities
have significance due to shrines of those six Shia Imams who have been buried
there.
It was registered as a non-government organization and since the
beginning it was headed by Qassem Soleimani. It is affiliated with the
Quds Force of the IRGC. Its members are labeled
as "نیروهای جهادی" (English: Jihadi(st)
forces).
