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.

• 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.
