The holy site, which is located on the southern suburbs of the Iranian capital Tehran, has become beacon of academic and spiritual gatherings in recent years.
Imam through his messages, speeches and works had frequently recommended the believers to undertake serious efforts to recite Quraran and supplications narrated by the holy prophet of Islam and his infallible successor during the holy month. Imam also stresses the self-training and spiritual training during this holy period.
Experts maintain that Imam’s philosophical, mystical, jurisprudential and political thought have deep roots in basic Islamic sources such as Quran and Sunnah. The divine personality of Imam had well command over philosophy, mysticism, Jurisprudence, Quran and Hadith sciences and several other disciplines of knowledge.
Beside knowledge, Imam decorated himself with divine, spiritual and moral values and revived religious values in contemporary era when the entire world had been plunged into social and moral decline.
Construction at the holy site commenced in 1989 following Khomeini's heavenly departure on June 3 of that year.
