The main purpose of the foundation of Kufa is, to establish military camp, to increase the victories in the state of Iran. Hadrat Umar (RA) had ordered to build such a wide mosque that all the Muslim soldiers be accommodated there. So there was accommodation of forty thousand Muslim soldiers in Kufa mosque. After the foundation of kufa city, migration of the people increased from all over the Islamic states. When Hadrat Ali (RA) made this city as a capital in 36 Hijra, this process of migration more increased.
