Due to its special geographical location, Kadhimiya has been considered important and its history is thought to date back before Jesus Christ. At the time of Sassanids, this region has been a garden of an Iranian King called Tasuj and has been called so. In the [[Battle of Nahrawan]] in 38/658 following the order of [[Imam 'Ali (a)]], martyrs of the war were buried here and it was called "Maqbarat al-Shuhada". At the time of Abbasids, when expanding and reviving Baghdad and choosing it as the capital, this cemetery was called "Shunizi", and [[al-Mansur al-Dawaniqi]] chose it for burying Abbasid elders and families and thereafter was called "Maqabir Quraysh" (Quraysh cemetery). | Due to its special geographical location, Kadhimiya has been considered important and its history is thought to date back before Jesus Christ.
