In the year 823 CE, a town, adjacent to Toos, formerly known as "SANABAD," built a shrine after His Holiness, the Eight Shiite Imam, the Imam Reza. Sanabad is now called MASHAD-E-REZA or "place of martyrdom" due to the significance that this holy martyr had. The original Shrine was destroyed in 993 AD by Sabuktagin, the Ghaznevid sultan. It was rebuilt by his son the Sultan Mahmud Ghazni in 1009 AD. During the 13th century, Mongols overtook Toos and Mashad and destroyed much of the Shrine. Later during the early 14th century, the Shrine of Imam Reza was brilliantly renovated by the Mongol, Sultan Muhammad Khudabandeh. This Shrine still stands today and is considered a very important aspect of not only Mashad's culture but the Muslim religion. At first, the Toos area was the residence of non-Aryan tribes and some parts of it were conquered by Arabs in the period of Caliph Osman. It was annexed to the Islamic territory in the time of Caliph Omar. Toos was among the first cities subjected to the destructive Mongol onslaught and, like the other cities of Khorasan, it was completely ruined. Due to its specific and sensitive conditions, Toos passed from governor to governor in the Teymoorian and Ilkhanan periods, and many people were massacred. Finally, in 1438 CE, Shahrokh, the son of Amir Taymoor, took the throne. From his reign on, Toos was paid special attention, causing its expansion and development. Since the second half of the 15th century CE, this city was commemorated as a suburb of Mashad. Some ruins of old Toos remain. Today, Mashad has an unbreakable tie with the history of old Toos and hosts hundreds of thousand of pilgrims and visitors annually. Due to the existence of the tomb of "Ferdowsi," a great Iranian poet, New Toos, is also recognized as a significant cite.
