The shrine of Fatema Mæ’sume (sister of Imām ʻAlī ibn-Mūsā Riđā) is located in Qom which is considered by Shia Muslims to be the second most sacred city in Iran after Mashhad. Fatima Masumeh was the sister of the eighth Imam ‘Ali al-Rida and the daughter of the seventh Imam Musa al-Kadhim (Tabari 60). In Shia Islam women are often revered as saints if they are close relatives to one of the Twelver Imams.
