Haft Imam Rudbarak

Seven Imams in Rud Barak

The village of Rudbarak is neighboring the villages of Narki and Tuseh-Chal and is located 35 kilometers from Rahimabad district and 50 kilometers southeast of Rudsar county.

In the third century AH, by the order of Naser al-Haqq (Naser al-Kabir, peace be upon him), Abu Muhammad Hasan, known as Hasan Atrosh (one of the titles of Imam Zain al-Abidin), the grandson of Hasan ibn Zayd, built a mosque in the village of Rud Barak, which later became known as the Shrine of the Seven Imams. Although the seven Imams were buried in this shrine, no one at that time remembered the name of any of them.

Inside the shrine, there is an iron pole that separates the tomb of the seven Imams from the other part of the shrine.

There is also a spring at the foot of the shrine whose water is salty and used for curing diseases.

The external features of the Shrine of the Seven Imams are as follows:

It lacks a chest, has three double wooden doors in three directions: west, east, and north, four sides of the porch, 22 columns made of Alborz bricks, a double metal door at the entrance of the porch, a wooden column in the middle of the shrine, and the entire roof is covered with tiles.

There are also wooden boards in the shrine on which the following phrases are inscribed:

Clouds came and wept bitterly on the grass              Without the wine of Golrang, one cannot live

This grass that today is our spectacle              Until when will the grass of our soil be a spectacle?

In the year 1223

"La malaka niyadi kullu yawmin lid-dawlamaw wa anbul al-kharab"              In the year 1223

The Ayat An-Kad is also fully inscribed on another wooden board.

Wooden door of Bibi Heybat

The wooden door known as Bibi Heybat is installed on the western wall of the shrine and has given great prestige to the Shrine of the Seven Imams. So far, this door has been stolen twice by some people, but by the grace of God, it has returned to its place again.

Also, the people of Rudbarak village say: At the foot of the village, there is a hole where if a living creature comes near, it dies due to the abundant gas.
