etymology
Mashhad-e-Ardehal is located in an area that has been very sacred since ancient times. The ruins of a Sassanid fire temple and other sacred buildings on neighboring hills are evidence of this. The word Ardehal has its tribe from Pahlawi and means "sacred hill" ( Ard means "holy" and Hal means "hill"). This tribe also exists in the name of the city of Ardestan , which means "sacred area" or "holy land". In the 7th century after the murder of Soltan Ali , the son of the fifth Shiite imam , Muhammad ibn ʿAlī al-Bāqir , and his tomb in Ardehal, the village gained a special religious meaning for Shiites and the word Mashhad , which means "the place of martyrdom" means, was added to the name Ardehal.
