AhlulBayt News Agency: Being a virtuous incarnate, it is no exaggeration if we call Hadrat
Masoumah (SA) second to Hadrat Fatima (SA). She passed away in the prime
of her life, at age 17, away from her home. She departed from Medina to
Marve, eager to meet her brother Imam Rida (AS), but returned to her
Lord before fulfilling her desire.
At Saveh, a town on the way to Qom, she fell ill. Since she had been
told the two towns were not far from each other, she ordered her
entourage to proceed to Qom.
The residents of Qom welcomed the daughter of Imam Musa ibn Ja"far (AS).
Musa ibn Khazraj invited her to his house, during which it was a great
honor to have her, even if only for 17 days while Hadrat Masoumah was
confined to her deathbed.
She was to be buried by old Kadir, the faithful and pious servant of
Musa ibn Khazraj, on a plot of land called Babulan. However, while they
had sent for Kadir, two masked horsemen arrived in full speed, alighted,
said a prayer onto the corpse, and buried it. They did not utter a
single word. No one knew who the two masked horsemen were, or where they
had come from. Thus, a member of the Household of the Prophet (SAW)
rests here, rendering Qom, a town in the desert, the `garden of
knowledge and theology".
The Center of Theological Studies flourishes under the auspices of this
scion of the Household of the Prophet (SAW). Great religious scholars
kiss the threshold of her holy shrine; true lovers of the Prophet (SAW)
travel to pay homage to her.
Before his holy granddaughter was born, Imam Ja"far Sadiq (AS) brought
the tidings that Qom would be honored with the holy shrine of Hadrat
Masoumah (SA) and those who visit the shrine will enter Paradise. Her
shrine is a paradise of spirituality and religious devotion, a gem in
this desert town and fountain of divine blessing and grace. Not only do
visitors come from Iran, but from Africa, China, India, Iraq, Lebanon,
Pakistan, Syria, Turkey and the Far East they come to pay homage to this
site of light and divine blessing.
