Hot mineral water springs in Golestan Kooh, Cheshmeh (Spring) Omid, east of Khansar, Jame ’mosque and Mariam Beygom school in Khansar city.

 Khansar is a small city with a limited population, but it has been for centuries a centre for training thinkers, poets, the great and especially theologians; then we can call Khansar the crandle of education of religious authorities during the latest seven centuries.

On the basis of a research, the Mashayekh Family has been known as the off springs of Jabber Ibn Abdollah Ansari [the honorable companion of generous high-minded Prophet].

The existence of noble theologians and Gnostics whom devoted their life to AHL-E-BAIT [the family of Prophet Mohammad] is the reason of prominence of this family in Khansar. The cause of popularity of this family [Mashayekh] is that the origin of this family is from Sheykh Sadr Al-Din Hossein _ a really great Gnostic and a divine sage _ whose pure shrine placed in Sarcheshme-ye Khansar. He was the source of spreading about public instructions of Ahlebyt and also he was the cause of converting the religion of a lot of people towards Shiite in that region.
Deceased Mirza Rahim Ansarian is from the grandsons of this supreme high savant and also is the great grandfather of Professor. He was, on the basis of AYAT-ALLAH SAFAIE-YE-KHANSARIE’s statement, a real devotee, diligent and perfect man. This caused that his great sublime uncle Deceased AYAT-ALLAH ALOZMA HAJ SHAIKH MOUSAVIE KHANSARIE, one of the great religious authorities of NAJAF, and the owner of the honorable book “Monyat-ot-taleb fee sharh-el-makaseb” had a special esteem and a remarkable attention towards him.
The deliberate thoughtful man, Professor HUSSAN ANSARIAN, in this family of piety, science and practice was born in 1323, on the basis of solar calendar, in the city of KHANSAR. On 1325, his family, because of misfortune of the Time, migrated to Tehran and were settled in a district named Lorzadeh. He himself writes about that time: “On that occasion a mosque was built on that district by a generous character and jurisprudent theologian named HOJJAT-OL-ESLAM HAJ SHAIKH ALI AKBAR BORHAN. Beside that mosque, he also established a kindergarten and a school for both boys and girls in order to conflict with wretched culture of PAHLAVIE household.
