The Jamkaran Mosque is one of the primary significant mosques in the city of Qom. In 1995-2005 the mosque’s reputation spread, and many pilgrims, particularly young people, began to come to it. In the rear of the mosque there is a “well of requests” where it is believed that the Twelfth Imam once “became miraculously unhidden for a brief shining moment of loving communion with his Creator.” Pilgrims tie small strings in a knot around the grids covering the holy well, which they hope will be received by Imam Mahdi. Every morning custodians cut off the strings from the previous day.
