Jamaran Hussainiya

Jamaran Hussainiya, where Ayatollah Khomeini spoke during his leadership

Jamaran Hussainiya was the house of Imam Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in Jamaran village. On 23 January 1980, Ayatollah Khomeini went to Tehran from Qom to cure a heart ailment. According to doctors recommendation, the weather in Qom did not suit him. The house of Imam Khomeini was next to the Hussainiya in Jamaran village. The house was linked to a large mosque by a metal platform.[1] Imam Khomeini often walked up a flight of stairs leading from his house to the balcony of the mosque, from which he often spoke.[2]
