8th of Sahwwal 1435 AH - Anniversary of the destruction of the cemetery of al-Baqi.


The cemetery of al-Baqi is located in Medina, Saudi Arabia. It is the cemetery where four honorable Imams - Imam Hasan(as), Imam Zain al-Abideen(as), Imam Mohammad Baqir(as) and Imam Jaffer Sadiq(as) - and the beloved daughter of the Prophet Mohammad(sawaw) and the leader of the women of Paradise Bibi Fatima Zehra(sa) are buried. In addition, a number of important personalities and honorable companions of the Holy Prophet(sawaw) are also buried there.


On 21st April 1925, 8th Shawwal 1345 A.H., the ruling Saudi Government bombed and destroyed the holy Cemetery and razed all the mausoleum structures. Their main excuse was the teachings of their Wahabi Sect which considers all types of intercession to Allah(swt) through the Prophet(sawaw) and his Ahl-e-Bait(as) a bid'ah and a sin. Their teachings also consider the visiting of the graves of the Prophet(sawaw) and other personalities as shirk - polytheism. Their real aim, however, was to distance the Muslims from their history and important historical personalities. Their teachings have, however, been refuted logically and referentially proven wrong by all other sects of Islam including the Shiite and Sunnites.

History of Jannatul Baqi

On Wednesday 8th Shawwal 1345 AH (April 21, 1925), mausoleums in Jannatul Al-Baqi (Medina) were demolished by King Abdulaziz Ibn Saud. In the same year (1925), he also demolished the tombs of holy personalities at Jannat al-Mualla (Makkah) where the Holy Prophet (sawaw)'s mother, wife, grandfather and other ancestors are buried. Destruction of sacred sites in Hijaz by the Saudi Wahhabi's continues even today.

THE ISLAMIC WORLD WITNESSED A TRAGEDY OF UNPRECEDENTED DIMENSION

AAH..!!! JANNATUL -BAQI..!!!

When I go to Medina

And see the grand mosque of Rasullullah (s.a.w.a),

My heart fills with joy!

My heart fills with joy to see the grandeur

My heart fills with joy to see the beauty

My heart fills with joy to see the reverence

My heart fills with joy to see the ummah!

 

But then, I look across the grand mosque of Rasullullah (s.a.w.a)

And see the Jannatul Baqi,

My heart hurts!

My heart hurts to see the only daughter of Rasullullah (s.a.w.a)

in a place that is destroyed and locked

My heart hurts to see the son of Rasullullah (s.a.w.a) in a place without a shelter or a dome.

My heart hurts to see the grandson of Rasullullah (s.a.w.a) in a place not accessible to his friends.

My heart hurts to see the great-grandsons of Rasullullah (s.a.w.a) in a place secluded from the mosque!

 

My heart complains!

My heart complains about the injustices

done to Sayyada Zahra (s.a)

My heart complains about the treachery done to Imam Hasan (a.s) 

My heart complains about the disrespect shown to my Imams (a.s)

My heart complains about the restrictions put upon their friends!

 

When I go to Medina

And see the grand mosque of Rasullullah (s.a.w.a),

My heart fills with joy!

My heart hurts!

My heart complains!

AAH..!!! JANNATUL -BAQI..!!!@
