Qom: One of the Focal Centers of Shi’i Muslims

Qom is thought to have existed in pre-Islamic ages. Archeological discoveries indicate Qom as a residential area from the 5th millennium BCE.
According to the pre-Islamic relics and historical texts, Qom was a large city.
‘Kom’ was the name of the ancient rampart of the city of Qom, thus, the Arabs called it Qom during the Arab conquests of Iran, Iranchamber wrote.

The World Assembly of Shiite Studies was established in 2003 (1382 AH) by a group of scholars from seminaries and universities. The purpose of founding this independent academic institution was to introduce the school of Shi‘ism and defend its legitimacy through education, research, translation and publication, communications, and Islamic promotion. This center has continued its mission with strength and determination and envisions a bright future ahead.
