Karbala'i Kazem Karimi Saruqi (Persian:کربلایی کاظم ساروقی) (born:1262 SH, Saruq, Markazi Arak, Iran - died 1339 SH, Qom) was an illiterate person and a farmer who, according to a story which was confirmed by some clerics, suddenly became a hafiz of the whole Quran without any official training. He claimed to have received the memorization of the entire book of the Quran in an instant and miraculous manner. His claim was confirmed by many scholars, government officials and academics through tests. According to him, he happened to receive the memorization of the entire Quran all at once at the Saruq Imāmzādeh Haftādodowtan (Imǎmzǎdeh Haftǎdodowtan) which is a local holy shrine or sacred mausoleum. His tomb is located in new cemetery of Qom.
