Tekiyeh, after going through many ups and downs, became known as Takiyeh Moaven Al-Molk and still stands in the neighborhood of Lab Abshouran in Kermanshah. Moaven Al-Molk Tekiyeh was built more than a hundred years ago by Hussein Khan Moein al-Ruaya. Hussein Khan Moein al-Ruaya, the grandfather of Rahim Moeini in Kermanshah, was one of the great contemporary poets. After the completion of Tekiyeh by Hassan Khan Moein al-Mulk. Hussein Khan had built the magnificent historical monument of Tekiyeh Moaven al-Mulk to hold religious rites and ceremonies such as fasting, mourning, and lamentation, but at the same time, he also resolved ethnic and nomadic problems. In 1282, a group of constitutionalists set the Vice-Chancellor on fire. Following this tragic incident, Hussein Khan Moin al-Ruaya was assassinated and the reconstruction of Tekiyeh was postponed. Miza Hassan Khan Moaven Al-molk bought the reliance from his brother in 1320 and restored it. Hassan Khan also bought the building adjacent to Husseina and added other sections such as Abbasiyah and Zeinabia to Tekiyeh. Hassan Khan dedicated Moaven Al-molk Tekiyeh to mourn the infallible Imams and religious ceremonies. Moaven al-Mulk was buried in Zeinabia after his death. After Qajar government, Pahlavi dynasty came to power, and whispers were heard about the demolition of the reliance until Seyyed Mohammad Meybodi and Agha Sheikh Mohammad Hadi Jalili proposed to change the Abbasid section into a school of Islamic sciences to prevent the demolition of the building. The Abbasid section remained a school for 30 years. There is also a clothing, jewelry and anthropological museum in the Abbasiyah section of Kermanshah province now.
