Qom
Qom is the second largest city of Iran and one of the main holy bases of Shia Islam. The city dates back to before the rise of Islam. The city was conquered by Muslims in 23/644-645 but the people of Qom converted to Islam with the immigration of Ash'ariyyun in 85/704-705, the beginning of the development of Qom as a Shia city was from that time.
Immigration of Lady Fatima al-Ma'suma to Qom and his shrine in the city, and after that, immigration of other Imam's descendants and Sayyids, made the city the base of Shi'ism in Iran. Foundation of Qom seminary added to the Shi'a fame of the city.
Today, the city is the greatest base of Shi'ism from which the Shi'a knowledge is promoted to the world.
