With an
average annual rainfall of 14 mm according to the
meteorological reports of the last 20 years, it lies
in a hot sandy hollow between the mountains of
Kashan and the Great Salt Desert, and thus, it
belongs in climate, scenery and architecture to the
desert rather than to the Alborz region; here you
see the first bad-girs (wind-towers) and aab-anbaars
(water-storage buildings), and a few kilometers
further on the first palm trees.
Qum has always been a leading center of Shiism. The
late Imam Khomeini and countless other religious
figures studied and thought theology here, and the
town played a particularly strong role in the
anti-Shah movement, as well as throughout the
Islamic Revolution. It is a major pilgrimage site,
and aspirant mullahs come here from all over Iran
and other countries of the world for training in
numerious seminaries of Howzeh-ye Elmieh, consisting
of many mosques and schools. The most famous
seminaries of Qum are: 1) Madraseh Feizieh,
originally built about 600 years ago. This school
was twice attacked by the Shahs secret police
during the last thirty five years, as a result of
which many religious students and teachers were
either arrested and imprisoned or killed; 2)
Madraseh Hojjatieh, used as a boarding school mainly
for foreign students; 3) Madraseh Dar osh-Shafa,
originally built during the Qajar period it was
totally demolished and reconstructed after the
victory of the Islamic Revolution; and 4) Madraseh
Masumieh, the construction works of which was
completed in 1989, and started admitting students
from the same year.
