===The Places Related to the Imam (a)=== | |||
A number of places are believed to be specially related to the Imam (a). Shiites visit these places to get closer to their Imam (a) and to ask him for his prayers. These places are the following: | |||

* [[Jamkaran Mosque]]: located in a village called Jamkaran near [[Qom]]. The mosque is reported to have been built by al-Hasan b. Muthla al-Jamkarani by the command of the Twelfth Imam (a). | |||
* [[Sahla Mosque]]: There is a place in the middle of this mosque between the maqam of [[Imam al-Sajjad (a)]] and that of [[Prophet Yunus (a)]], which is attributed to the Twelfth Imam (a). According to come traditions, this place will be the Imam's (a) place of residence after his reappearance. | |||
* [[Dhi Tuwa]], which is the name of area in [[Mecca]]. According to some traditions, the Imam (a) lives there. According to some other traditions, it is the place where he first reappears and the place where his companions gather. According to one tradition, before the Imam (a) announces his uprising near [[Ka'ba]], he waits in this place for the 313 people who will form the circle of his companions. | |||
* [[Mount Radwa]]: According to some traditions, this mountain is where the Twelfth Imam lives during his occultation. Mount Radwa is one of the Tahama mountains between Mecca and Medina. | |||
* [[Wadi al-Salam]]: A place in this cemetery is attributed to the Imam (a). The current shrine in this place was built in 1310 AH by Sayyid Muhammad Khan, the king of Sind. Prior to that, [[Al-Sayyid Muhammad Mahdi Bahr al-'Ulum|Sayyid Bahr al-Ulum]] (d. [[1212]]/1797) renovated the building. In the mihrab of this shrine, there is a stone on which a [[Ziyara-text|ziarah-text]] is transcribed. The date of transcription is Shaʿban 9th, 1200 AH. | |||
* [[Al-Jazira al-Khadra'|Khadra' (green) Island]]. According to some traditions, the children of the Twelfth Imam (a) live in this island. Some scholars have doubted the authenticity of these traditions and have regarded the account as a myth. | |||
