  3. KUFA • Kufa was the successor of Al-Madina (in today's Saudi Arabia) as the capital of the Islamic world. This achievement is not to be understated if we take into account that Kufa was only founded in 618 AD , by Sa'ad Bin Abi Waqqas. • Kufa was for a considerable period of time a great center of learning and trade before being overshadowed by neighboring city of Najaf. • It was in this city, at the place where now masjid-e-Kufa stands, that the flood of Prophet Nooh(a.s.) had started from.

  9. Isfahan History        Isfahan is one of the oldest cities in Iran. It was founded even before the rise of the Achaemenians who ruled Iran in the fourth and fifth centuries B.C. Some historians believe that because of its pleasant climate it was used as summer residence of the kings.

  10. After Achaemenians Isfahan was center of a large province for almost a thousand years during the reign of Parthians and Sassanians. Today Isfahan is still the center of the province Isfahan. Little is known about Isfahan in ancient times, but it is evident that even then Isfahan was a major center. The name Isfahan may have come from the word "Sepahan" which means "Troops" in farsi language because it was one of the major centers for gathering troops.

  11. Throughout centuries Isfahan managed to accumulate building of varied styles. The city was conquered by the Moslems in the 7th century and from then on buildings of Perso-Islamic style began to appear. Isfahan experienced the rule of various dynasties throughout its long history.
