It is a very nice place and worth going
In the evening, Amos accompanied the tomb. As Friday is Iran's weekend and Saturday is the first Imam holiday, many Muslims are used to praying at mosques or tombs. The square outside the tomb was full of devout churchgoers, and the women in black robes were particularly conspicuous, and the whole square was dark and mysterious at first glance. Although there were many people, the sunset was very peaceful, and it seemed to solidify the sense of sacredness under the appeal of the tomb. Ling originally did not let non-Muslims in, nor could he backpack in, let alone take pictures. Amoo said that three women from Beijing wanted to visit, and the doorkeeper was not allowed to enter. But the rules are dead, and when the head is rushing, it is still possible to mix in with a head bowed forward. I mean it is not difficult, I am not talking about pretending. Although it is a mausoleum, but inside is very big step into the moment of the Holy Tomb was shocked, the ceiling pillars are all made out of the mirror of the photo! You imagine the mosque was pasted with a piece of color mosaic, this time replaced with small mirrors that can reflect, shining a glittering crystal chandelier, a thousand glittering blind! I was completely stunned! Although I also knew that the tomb of the Light of Shiraz was so decorated, it was really amazing to see it for the first time. Amo explained to me that this mirror decoration is grandiose, but the intention is to warn believers through the small lens broken portraits of people who are not perfect, and to stop arrogance and impetuousness. The shrine is very crowded and can only follow the flow of people. Many people will specially squeeze into the place where the coffin is placed in the middle to touch it to show respect. There are staff holding long things like chicken hair and scorpion to maintain order. When they see me stealing pictures, they click me to show a warning. I'm gonna hide and keep on committing crimes. I don't know what they say.
Since the eighth Imam of the Shiite Twelve Imam Ali Rida buried his sister Fatima Massama here, Qom has become one of the holy sites of the Twelve Imams, the second largest in Iran after the Mashhad, where Ridal's tomb is located Quds. Qom is also home to the rumoured collection of Iranian nuclear facilities.
Historical and cultural heritage, large area, worth visiting.
It's really majestic, people are very religious here.
