Sad ol Din (Persian: سعدالدين)[a] is a village in, and the capital of, Kavir Rural District[4] in Sheshtaraz District of Khalilabad County, Razavi Khorasan province, Iran.

The village lies on the edge of the salt desert and retains a valuable historical fabric with traditional adobe architecture. Its economy is based on agriculture—particularly pistachio production—and animal husbandry.[5]

History and etymology

[edit]

The old name of the village was "Davaj", and it is locally called "Sedin".[5] Among its historical landmarks are the Jameh Mosque of Sad ol Din, which is registered on the Iran National Heritage List, and the Rostam Khan Tower. The tower is associated with Rostam Khan, the local khan during the Pahlavi era, who, on the eve of the Iranian Revolution, formed a group to support the Shah and brought them to the nearby village of Mahdiabad.[6]

In 2017, a historical mansion in the village was donated by the local council and village administration to the Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts Department of Khalilabad to be restored for cultural use.[7][8]

Geography and climate

[edit]

Situated on the margin of the salt desert and in the path of strong regional winds, Sad ol Din has repeatedly experienced dust storms and flooding caused by heavy rainfall.[9][10] During the floods of April 2019, Red Crescent rescue teams drained water from 29 residential houses and several public buildings in the village.[11]

Economy

[edit]

The economy of Sad ol Din is largely based on agriculture and animal husbandry. With extensive pistachio orchards, the village is one of the key pistachio-producing centres in Khalilabad County.[5] In 2015, the first mechanized pistachio processing terminal in the village was inaugurated at a cost of 10 billion rials, directly creating 25 jobs.[12] Watershed management projects, such as the Chah Sabz stone-and-mortar dam, have also had a positive impact on the livelihoods of residents by controlling floods and recharging groundwater.[13]

Infrastructure

[edit]

Gas supply

[edit]

In February 2019, a gas supply project serving Sad ol Din and six other villages of Sheshtaraz District was inaugurated with an investment of 75 billion rials. The project involved 29 km of transmission pipeline and 51 km of polyethylene network, connecting over 3,000 rural households to the gas grid.[14]

Education and sports

[edit]

A three-classroom girls' secondary school named after Dr. Alireza Sharifi was opened in the village in 2024 with the help of benefactors, accommodating 120 students.[15] Earlier, a six-classroom Niki girls' school was built by benefactors.[16] In October 2025, following the efforts of the parliamentary representative for Kashmar, Khalilabad and Bardaskan, 2 billion tomans were allocated for the construction of a sports hall in Sad ol Din, and 300 million tomans for an artificial turf field at Shahid Mousavi School.[17] In 2015, a rural mini-football tournament with eight teams was held in the village.[18]

Public facilities

[edit]

A "Nafas" centre (for the prevention of abortion) has been established in the village.[17] After the 2019 floods, 145 billion rials in loans were allocated for the reconstruction of 103 damaged residential units in the village.[19]

Culture and religion

[edit]

The inhabitants of Sad ol Din are adherents of Twelver Shi'ism. Religious ceremonies such as the Nights of Qadr are held with wide participation.[20] A memorial service for the village's martyrs is among the cultural events of the region.[21]

Notable people

[edit]
  • Hujjat al-Islam Mohammad Fazel Bejestani: A cleric and teacher at the Kashmar seminary who, at the invitation of the villagers, moved to Sad ol Din and spent 15 years preaching and teaching religious sciences.[22] His son, Ishaq Fazel Bejestani (died 27 November 2024), was the father of three martyrs: Mehdi (killed 10 April 1983 in Operation Valfajr 1 in Fakkeh), Hamid (killed 6 March 1984 in Operation Kheibar on Majnoon Island), and Majid (killed 1986 in Fakkeh).[23] After Ishaq's death, Masoud Pezeshkian (the President),[24] Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf (the Speaker of Parliament),[25] and Major General Hossein Salami (Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps)[26] each issued separate condolence messages. The book Gard-e Shahr by Azam Hamzei Khosravi is a narrative account of the three martyred brothers, told through the words of their father.[27] Mohammad Fazel Bejestani is buried in the Sad ol Din cemetery near the Martyrs' Section.
