This magical sanctuary of Fatima Masumeh is in that of Qom, Iran: according sciisti, this is the second holiest city throughout Iran after Mashhad. Fatima Masumeh, for the uninitiated, was the sister of the eighth Imam, ie 'Ali Rida, and the daughter of the seventh, Musa al Kadhim. In Shia Islam, women are often revered as if they were holy, if they are close relatives of one of the Imams: for this Fatima Masumeh was honored like a saint, and his sanctuary, in that of Qom, is considered one of most significant shrines sciisti around Iran. Every year, thousands of Muslims sciisti travel to Qom to honor and pray.
