Mashhad ni mji wa watu milioni 3.6 kaskazini mashariki mwa Iran. Kama mji mtakatifu wa pili kwa ukubwa duniani, Mashhad ni kitovu cha ibada ya Hija kwa Waislamu na uliitwa "Mji Mkuu wa Kiroho wa Iran," unaovutia watalii na mahujaji zaidi ya milioni 20 kila mwaka. Wengi wa hawa wanakuja kutoa heshima kwa madhabahu ya Imam Reza, Imamu wa nane wa Kishia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mashhad pia ni kitovu cha masomo ya kidini kwa nchi, chenye seminari 39 na shule nyingi za Kiislamu. Chuo Kikuu cha Ferdowsi huvutia wanafunzi kutoka mataifa kadhaa jirani. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kama ilivyo kwa Iran nyingine, Waislamu katika Mashhad wanafuata Ushi'a, na kuwaweka katika migogoro na majirani zao wengi wa Jimbo la Kiarabu. Ingawa kuna mwingiliano mkubwa kati ya migawanyiko miwili ya imani, kuna tofauti kubwa katika mila na tafsiri ya sheria za Kiislamu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wakati katiba ya Irani inatambua dini tatu ndogo, ikiwa ni pamoja na Wakristo, mateso ni mara kwa mara. Kubeba biblia inavyoonekana ni adhabu ya kifo, na kuna sheria kali dhidi ya uchapishaji au kuingiza biblia katika lugha ya Kiajemi.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":2889,"template":"","class_list":["post-2888","islamguide2024","type-islamguide2024","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/110cities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Islam-Guide-2024_02-21.jpg","ams_acf":[{"key":"islam_guide_city_name","label":"Islam Guide City Name","value":"Mashhad, Iran"},{"key":"islam_guide_people_groups_focus","label":"Islam Guide People Groups Focus","value":"
