Prophet’s birth ceremony in the shrine of Hazrat Masoumeh


Men and women seek cures to ailments, solutions to problems, and forgiveness of sins at these sites. Many hadiths, or teachings, are recorded from Shi’i Imams praising the veneration of Fatima Masumeh, and proclaiming that those who make a pilgrimage to her Shrine will “certainly be admitted to heaven.”Fatima Masumeh’s Shrine in Qom is crowded every day of the year with Shi’i men, women, and children from all around the world. Some stay for hours or days praying at the mosque and circumambulating her tomb.
