The Shah-Abdol-Azim cemetery is one of Rayy's most famous landmarks, and one of the few landmarks in Ray to hold much contemporary importance. This cemetery gained its fame from the fact that Shah-Abdol-Azim is buried there, a descendant of famous martyr Imam Hassan whom Muhammad was known to have taken a particular liking to. "Sometimes, he lifted this child upon his shoulder and said, "It is hoped that God will purify this Ummah through him". Or he would say, "Whosoever loves this child, loves me, and whosoever nurses grudge and has enmity against him has enmity with me". "Hassan and Hussain are the two chiefs of the youths of the paradise".(http://www.ezsoftech.com/stories/infallible4.asp) A variety of historical figures have been buried at Shah-Abdol-Azim, and strangely the cemetery retains its significance as a burial place for the well-to-do while the city of Rayy is long dead, (though certainly now the emergence of Tehran as a major city has resulted in life returning to the surrounding region). For instance, Nasser-al-Din Shah, leader of iran from 1848-1896, was buried there after his assassination, and whose tombstone was taken to preserve it as one of the masterpieces of art for the era.
