イラク中央部の宗教都市。ナジャフ州の州都。正式にはアン・ナジャフAn-Najafという。アル・ナジャフ、メシェッド・アリMeshed Aliともいう。バグダードの南約150キロメートル、ユーフラテス川中流沿岸近くに位置する。人口30万9010(1987センサス)、58万5600(2003推計)。8世紀にアッバース朝カリフのハールーン・アッラシードがイスラム教シーア派初代イマームのアリーの墓廟(ぼびょう)を祭ったのが町の起源である。アリーの息子フセインの墓のあるカルバラーとともに、シーア派のもっとも神聖な巡礼地である。 [原 隆一] [参照項目] | | | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
