The Holy City Of Qom

قال الصادق علیه السلام:إِنَّما سُمِّيَتْ قُمّ، لأَِنَّ أَهْلَها يَجْتَمِعُونَ مَعَ قائِمِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَيَقُومُونَ مَعَهُ، وَيَسْتَقيمُونَ عَلَيْهِ وَيَنْصُرُونَهُ،عوالم العلوم، ج21، ص341
“Qum has been so named because the people of Qum will gather around the Steadfast Imam of the household of the Prophet (S.A) Imam Mahdī (A.S)]; they will make a stand under his banner, stay loyal to him and be helpers for him.” Imam Sadiq (A.S) [Awalem al Ulum,vol. 21, p. 341]
