1925 (8th Shawwal, 1345 AH), Jannat Al-Baqi was demolished on the order of king Ibn Saud(L)

Al-Baqi was established by the Prophet (s) when he ordered certain trees to be felled from the garden to bury his companion, Uthmanibn Madh’un. In the following years, the Prophet (s) also buried his infant son Ibrahim there. The area became popular for burial, because the Prophet (s) used to greet those who were buried there 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”. Eventually, his beloved daughter Fatimah al-Zahra (a) was buried there too along with Imam Hasan Ibn Ali (a), Imam Ali Ibn al-Husayn (a), Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (a), and Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (a). Over the years, al-Baqi was maintained with splendour and respect, until the first attack on it occurred in 1806, under the rule of Saud bin Abdulaziz. However, the Ottomans gained control over the region a few years later and rebuilt the graveyard in 1818. In 1925, Ibn Saud attacked and destroyed Jannat al-Mu'alla in Makkah along with other holy shrines and then moved on to demolish Jannat al-Baqi and level it to the ground. Despite worldwide protests held the following year and every year since by Muslims to denounce this massacre and destruction, there has been neither apology nor an offer of reconstruction by the powers in place. #Rebuilbaqee #SaudiArabia #Jannatulbaqi #Madina #ThePromisedSaviour ‎#وفاء_للحسين ‎#ياحسين ‎#امام_حسين_عليه_السلام ‎#صاحب_الزمان ‎#بقية_الله ‎#دلتنگ_حرم ‎#شب_جمعه_کربلا ‎#السلام_علیک_یا_اباعبدالله ‎#ياعباس# ياعلي ‎#ابا_الفضل_العباس ‎#كربلاء_المقدسة ‎#كربلا_معلى ‎#اللهم_عجل_لوليك_الفرج #ProphetMuhammad (PBUH) #ImamAli (AS) ‎#اللهم_صل_علی_محمد_و_آل_محمد (#AbbasCollection)
