Kadhimiya

Al-Kāẓimiyyah (Arabic: الكاظمية‎‎) or al-Kāẓimayn (الكاظمين) is a northern neighbourhood of Baghdad, Iraq about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from the city center on the west bank of the Tigris. Al-Kāẓimiyyah is also the name of one of nine administrative districts in Baghdad. Al-Kāẓimayn is regarded as a holy city in Shia Islam. It received its name (lit. "the Two Kāẓims" or "the Two 'who swallow their anger'") from the two Shi'i Imams buried there: Musa al-Kadhim and his grandson and successor, Muhammad al-Jawad. A shrine was first built over their tombs, and subsequently the al-Kadhimiya Mosque.
