Kum wis kent tae be the name o this auncient ceety, sicweys, the incomin 7t century Arabs cried it Qom durin the conquests o Iran.

In Seljuki times, the ceety flourished as well. Durin the Mongol invasion o Persie the ceety witnessed widespread destruction, but efter the Mongol rulin dynasty, kent as the Ilkhanate an aw, convertit tae Islam durin the reign o Öljeitü (Persian Muhammad Khudabænde), the ceety received special attention, sicweys unnergoin a revival ance mair.
In the late 14t century, the ceety wis plundered bi Tamerlane an the indwallers wur massacred. But durin the periods o rule o the Qara Qoyunlu, Aq Qoyunlu an especially durin the reign o the Safavids, Qom gained special attention an gradually developed due tae its releegious shrine.
Bi 1503 Qom became ane o the important centers o theology in relation tae the Shia Islam, an became a significant religious pilgrimage site an pivot.
