'''Ray''' or '''Rey''' is a religious city and a pilgrim destination in [[Iran]] which had a religious and political status since ancient time until the sixth/[[twelfth century]]. It was the religious capital of [[Zoroastrianism]] and summer capital of Ashkani dynasty. Ray was also the capital of [[Buyid]] and [[Seljuk]] dynasties in Islamic era. After that its importance reduced significantly. Today Ray is known for the [[shrine of 'Abd al-'Azim al-Hasani]]. A number of [[Shi'ite]] scholars, politicians and artists are buried in Ray including [[Al-Shaykh al-Saduq]], [[Muhammad Reza Mahdavi Kani]], [[Ayatullah Kashani]], Jalal Al-e Ahmad and Nasir al-Din Shah. | |||
Attacks of Mongols and their destruction, diversity of religions and conflicts among their followers are among the main reasons behind the decline of Ray. This city became famous again in the time of Constitutional Movement in Iran but it did not attain its former status. Ray is regarded a part of Tehran and it includes twenty eight shrines of descendants of Shi'a Imams, four hundred and eighteen mosques and seventy two [[husayniyya]]s. Seminary schools have been active in this city for a long time; in addition a number of universities have a branch there. | Attacks of Mongols and their destruction, diversity of religions and conflicts among their followers are among the main reasons behind the decline of Ray.
