The Shrine of Fatima Masumeh is located in Qom, which is considered by Shia Muslims to be the second most sacred city in homeland after Mashhad. Fatima Masumeh was the sister of the eighth Imam Reza and the daughter of the seventh Imam Musa al-Kadhim. Those who stay in Qom overnight often describe the shrine’s evening ambiance as one of the most moving moments of their trip.
As the city quiets and the shrine’s golden dome glows softly against the night sky, the atmosphere becomes almost ethereal. Christian tourists often speak of the tranquility that descends after sunset. Families gather for evening prayers, soft lights illuminate the mosaic archways, and the walkways become calm. It is during these hours that many visitors—regardless of faith—feel a deep sense of peace that transcends religious differences.
