Abstract

The research studies the history of establishment of Hawzeh as an educational
institute. In this way, based on historical resources, the research analyzes the grounds
and causes of its development. Then, its cultural, scientific and educational condition
in two years after its establishment is depicted. This is a basic library research of the
descriptive-analytic type. Thus, after the data collection phase, by taking notes and
categorizing them, conclusions are drawn by the content-analysis method. Based on
the findings of this research, the Hawzeh of Qom has been established at the end of the
second, or at the beginning of the third, century of Hijrat. Ash'ari scholars and
narrators have had the main role in forming the Hawzeh in Qom. After attempting to
develop the town, to improve its economic condition and to gain political
independence, Ash'ari's invited other Ash'ari, shia, and sadat people and affirmed
Islam and the shia school. In this way, they created the social and cultural ground for
gathering shia scholars and narrators in Qom. In such a condition, the narrators and
companions of the Imams, most of whom have been Ash'ari, formed the Hawzeh by
scientific and religious meetings. In this era, the Hawzeh has been very active.
