The Tombs of the infallible imams’ children in Qom
Qom, since the Ash’arite Arabs had come to live in it, received hundreds of children of the infallible imams (s). Their honored tombs became as lamps shining in all sides of the city of Qom.

Here are some of them:

1) The pure tombs of Zaynab, Maymoona and Umm Muhammad, the daughters of Imam Muhammad at-Taqiy (al-Jawad).[He is the ninth Imam of the Shia.] They have been buried beside the holy tomb of Lady Fatima al-Ma’ssooma (s).

2) The tomb of Musa al-Mubarqa’, the son of Imam Muhammad at-Taqiy (s) (in Chihil Akhtaran (forty stars) Quarter).

3) The tomb of Shahzada[ Shahzada means the son of the Shah. The Iranians often call the imams and their sons as “shah”.] Ahmad, the son of Musa al-Mubarqa’ (beside his father’s tomb).

Tombs of the Ulama and Narrators in Qom
In Qom there is a graveyard called the graveyard of “Sheikhoon”, which means the sheikhs. Sheikhoon is the plural form of Sheikh in Persian. In fact it is sheikhan because the mark of plurality in Persian is by adding “AN” at the end of a word but when speaking the Iranians often change the “AN” into “O(O)N”.

In this graveyard there are many tombs of great narrators (of traditions) like Zakariyya bin Adam and some of bani[35] Babwayh and tombs of famous ulama like al-Mirza al-Qommi. These tombs are about to be obliterated because the government[36] has made streets in the graveyard without paying any attention to the tombs. In fact the government has intended to remove the graveyard totally.
