Abstract

Qom from the Shiite influential cities was the Zoroastrian base in the past. After the migration of the Ash'arite Arabs, Qom began its uprising, Qum was the seat of the Umayyad opposition And Qom, with the support of the Abbasids, benefited from their privileges and peaked its economic, political and intellectual power for years. The role of the geographical factor in the rise and decline of Qom has been very prominent. Qom was the location of the crossroads of the central Iran and the resting place of the »Karavans«. The proximity to the desert and the threat of bandits contributed to the growth and independence of Qom during the first and second centuries of the Hijra, Against the Caliphate and its governors. So that Qum was a resurrection from Isfahan, did not pay the tribute to this city and not the caliphate, until it was said that the payment of the tribute to this city was paid from Isfahan. The formation of Iranian movements, such as »Khorramdinan« and semi-independent Iranian governments, was the end of this independence. How did these movements and governments affect the political transformations of this historic-religious city? The proximity to the central cities of Iran, such as Ray, which was the battleground of the Ziyaran, Al Boya and Samanids, damaged Qum. Ray as one of the capitals Buwayhid, many scholars of Qom attracts and then also the scientific base of Shiite Iran, was transferred to Baghdad.
