Draft:Jamaran Hussainiya
Jamaran Hussainiya is a historical religious congregation hall situated in the village of Jamaran[1] which is recognized as one of Iran's national heritage sites and stands as a prominent tourist destination in Tehran.[2]
The construction of the Jamaran Hussainiya dates back to the Qajar era, specifically the year 1864, when it was founded by Sayyid Ibrahim Jamarani,[3] although certain sources cite 1853 as the year of its establishment.[4] The structure underwent renovation in 1976, and following the Islamic Revolution, it was placed at the disposal of Imam Khomeini by Sayyid Mahdi Imam Jamarani.[5]
The Hussainiya comprises two stories covering an area of approximately 800 square meters, with the residence of Imam Khomeini situated directly behind it.[6] The ground floor of the residence consists of two rooms, a narrow corridor, restroom facilities, and a kitchen. To facilitate access to the Hussainiya, a temporary connecting passage was constructed between the house and the balcony of the congregation hall. Additionally, the Hussainiya contained a small chamber where critical strategic decisions were made during the war.[7]
Furthermore, a more expansive facility, designated as Jamaran Hussainiya No. 2, was constructed near the Amir Suleimani Garden in 1985 by the local residents of Jamaran.[8]
A significant historical incident associated with the site was an abortive plot by the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization to attack the Hussainiya and assassinate Imam Khomeini. According to the periodical Ramz-e Obour, this conspiracy was uncovered following the arrest of Husayn Shaykh al-Hukama in 1982. It is reported that prior to the security crackdown on May 2 (Ordibehesht 12) of that year, he had served as the head of the organization's military command in East Tehran.
The Jamaran Hussainiya was inscribed on the list of National Heritage Sites of Iran in 1997 and currently serves as a destination for both domestic and international tourists.[9] The site is accessible via Metro Line 1 (Tajrish Metro Station), followed by transit through Shahid Bahonar (Niavaran) Street. The complex is currently administered by the Institute for Compilation and Publication of Imam Khomeini's Works, under the leadership of Sayyid Hasan Khomeini.
