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

Origins of Jannat Al-Baqi Cemetery
Literally Al-Baqi means a tree garden. It is also known as Jannat Al-Baqi due to its sanctity, since in it are buried many of our Prophet
Muhammads S.A.W relatives and companions.
The first companion buried in Jannat Al-Baqi was Uthman bin Madhoon R.A who passed away on the 3rd of Shaabaan al-Moazzam in the 3rd year of
Hijrah. Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) ordered certain trees to be felled, and in its midst, he buried his dear companion, placing two stones over the
grave.

Hazrat Fatima Zahra (S.A.)
used to lament over her
fathers demise for six
months continuously till she
died. The Place where she
was lamenting was an attic
occupied by her in the grave
yard at Jannatul Baqi. At
this place after the
martyrdom of Imam
Hussain (A.S.) Janab Um ul
Baneen wife of Amir ul
Momeneen Ali Ibne Abi
Taleb (A.S.) and the mother
of Janab Abbas used to
lament over Imam Hussain
(A.S.) in a heartrending
manner. It was here that the
citizens of Medina used
together to join in the
wailings. Hazrat Rabab,
wife of Imam Hussian
(A.S.) also frequented this
place to cry. Janab-e-Zainab
and Umm-e-Kulsoom were
also among the regular
mourners. This place is
popularly known as Baitul
Huzn. Its original name was
On the following years, Muhammad (S.A.Ws) son Ibrahim R.A, who died in infancy and over whom the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) wept bitterly,
was also buried there. The people of Madina then began to use that site for the burial of their own dead, because the Prophet (S.A.W) used to greet
those who were buried in Jannat Al-Baqi by saying, Peace be upon you, O abode of the faithful! God willing, we should soon join you. O Allah,
forgive the fellows of Al-Baqi.
The site of the burial ground at Jannat Al-Baqi was gradually extended. Nearly seven thousand companions of the
Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) were buried there, not to mention those of the Ahlul Bayt (as). Imam Hasan bin Ali
(as), Imam Ali bin Hussain (as), Imam Muhammad bin Ali (as), and Imam Jafar bin Muhammad (as) were all buried
there.
Among other relatives of the Prophet Muhammad (saw) who were buried at Jannat Al-Baqi are: his aunts Safiya and
Aatika, and his Aunt Fatima bint al-Asad, the mother of Imam Ali (as). The third caliph Uthman R.A was buried
outside Jannat Al-Baqi, but with later extensions, his grave was included in the area. In later years, great Muslim
scholars like Malik bin Anas and many others, were buried there too. Thus, did Jannat Al-Baqi become a well-known
place of great historic significance to all Muslims.
Jannat Al-Baqi as viewed by Historians
Umar bin Jubair describes Jannat Al-Baqi as he saw it during his travel to Madina, saying Al-Baqi is situated to the
east of Madina. You enter it through the gate known as the gate of Al-Baqi. As you enter, the first grave you see on
your left is that of Safiya, the Prophet Muhammads aunt, and further still is the grave of Malik bin Anas, the Imam of
Madina. On his grave is raised a small dome. In front of it is the grave of Ibrahim son of our Prophet Muhammad
(saw) with a white dome over it, and next to it on the right is the grave of Abdul-Rahman son of Umar bin al-Khattab,
popularly known as Abu Shahma, whose father had kept punishing him till death overtook him. Facing it are the
graves of Aqeel bin Abi Talib and Abdullah bin Jafar al-Tayyar. There, facing those graves is a small shrine
containing the graves of the Prophet Muhammads wives, following by a shrine of Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib.
The grave of Hasan bin Ali (as), situated near the gate to its right hand, has an elevated dome over it. His head lies at
the feet of Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib, and both graves are raised high above the ground; their walls are paneled with
yellow plates and studded with beautiful star-shaped nails. This is how the grave of Ibrahim, son of the Prophet
Muhammad (saw) has also been adorned. Behind the shrine of Abbas there is the house attributed to Fatima Zahra,
daughter of our Prophet Muhammad (saw), known as Bayt al-Ahzaan (the house of grief) because it is the house she
used to frequent in order to mourn the death of her father, the chosen one, peace be upon him. At the farthest end of
Jannat Al-Baqi is the grave of the caliph Uthman, with a small dome over it, and there, next to it, is the grave of
Fatima bint Asad, mother of Ali bin Abi Talib (as).

Bayt al-Ahzaan (The house
of mourning).
After a century and a half, the famous traveler Ibn Batuta came to describe Jannat Al-Baqi in a way which does not in
any way differ from the description given by Ibn Jubair. He adds saying, At Al-Baqi are the graves of numerous
Muhajirin and Ansar and many companions of the Prophet (saw), except that most of their names are unknown.
Thus, over the centuries, Jannat Al-Baqi remained a sacred site with renovations being carried out as and when needed till the Wahhabis rose to
power in the early nineteenth century. The latter desecrated the tombs and demonstrated disrespect to the martyrs and the companions of the Prophet
Muhammad (saw) buried there. Muslims who disagreed with them were branded as infidels and were subsequently killed.
