We start our day by visiting Masoume Shrine, Fatima Masumeh was the sister of the eighth Imam Reza and the daughter of the seventh Imam Musa al-Kadhim. In Shia Islam, women are often revered as saints if they are close relatives to one of the Twelver Imams. Fatima Masumeh is therefore honored as a saint, and her shrine in Qom is considered one of the most significant Shi’i shrines in Iran. Every year, thousands of Shi’i Muslims travel to Qom to honor Fatima Masumeh and ask her for blessings. Then we will drive to Jamkaran, a popular pilgrimage site for Shia Muslims from all over the world. On Tuesday evenings large crowds of thousands gather there to pray and to drop a note to the Imam in a well at the site, asking for help with some problem.
