Karbala'i Kazem Karimi Saruqi (Persian:کربلایی کاظم ساروقی) (born:1262 SH, Saruq, Markazi Arak, Iran - died 1339 SH, Qom) was an illiterate person and a farmer who, according to a story which was confirmed by some clerics, suddenly became a hafiz of the whole Quran without any official training.[1] He claimed to have received the memorization of the entire book of the Quran in an instant and miraculous manner. His claim was confirmed by many[vague] scholars, government officials and academics through tests.[2] According to him, he happened to receive the memorization of the entire Quran all at once at the Saruq Imāmzādeh Haftādodowtan (Imǎmzǎdeh Haftǎdodowtan) which is a local holy shrine or sacred mausoleum. His tomb is located in new cemetery of Qom.[3][4][5][6][7]
