al-Kazimiyyah (Arabic: ????????? al-Kazimiyyah; alternatively, Arabic: ????????? al-Kazimayn), is a town located in what is now a northern neighbourhood of Baghdad, Iraq about five kilometres from the city center. Al-Kazimiyyah is one of nine administrative districts in Baghdad.Al-Kazimayn is regarded as a holy city in Shi?ah Islam. It received its name (lit. "the Two Kazims" or "the Two who swallow their anger"), for the two Shi?ah Imams buried there: Musa al-Kadhim and his grandson and successor Shi?ah Imam Muhammad at-Taqi. A shrine was first built over their tombs, and subsequently the al-Kadhimiya Mosque.The area that now constitutes al-Kazimiyyah was originally the location of a graveyard reserved for members of the Quraish tribe. This land was set aside for this purpose by the Abbasid caliph, Harun al-Rashid.
