Abstract

The Qom province of Iran is among the regions where many MAUSOLEUM and burial chambers exist. The MAUSOLEUMs that are mentioned in this paper are only a few among the many existing in the area. In embellishing such structures, the Muslim artist has expressed his admiration towards the Prophet Mohammad and Imam Ali in a symbolic and visual manner in which artistic elements such as INSCRIPTIONs, ROUNDELs, and at times in the form of written prayers are combined with herbal and geometric patterns that resemble the artists’ spiritual recognition. The presence of the names Mohammad and Ali on architectural ornamentation show the Shi’ah beleifs that were shared between the ordinary people and the rulers.This paper focuses on introducing the MAUSOLEUMs chronologically and also explores the use of HOLY NAMES on such spiritual structures. These names have become visual symbols in decorative features of the IMAMZADEHs and shrine-tombs of the 14th century (8th Hegira) in Qom. Research Question:1- What are the political, social, and cultural influences that have impacted the architecture and decorative elements of Qom’s structures and bulidings? 2- How are geometric patterns and the HOLY NAMES related in a visual and elegant manner?Aims of the research:1- Studying the visual representations of the HOLY NAMES in the architecture of IMAMZADEHs and shrine-tombs of the city of Qom in 8th/14th century 2- Exploring the architecture and INSCRIPTIONs of such MAUSOLEUMs.in Qom.
