A place of pilgrimage that is never empty of visitors in Saudi Arabia ...

Assalamu'alaikum,Wr,Wb..

Hi all,
Do you know a place of pilgrimage that is never deserted by a crowd especially during the Hajj season??

The place is Baqi's tomb. That is the burial area that holds the bodies of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad SAW and the Muslims ...

Located in the eastern part of the Prophet's Mosque, the cemetery which has an area of about 175,000 square meters is always crowded with visitors. They usually walk after performing morning prayers in the Prophet's Mosque ..

At Baqi's grave, the bodies of friends and a number of the family of the Prophet Muhammad were buried. Among them are As'ad bin Zararah, Uthman ibn Mazoun, Abdurrahman bin Auf, and Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqqas. Whereas from the family of the Messenger of Allah were Aisha, Fatimah az-Zahra, Ruqayyah, Zainab, and Ummi Kultsum.

Baqi's tomb became a phenomenal place. Besides containing historical value, it also becomes a special place in the heart of the Rasulullah SAW...

Baqi's tomb is unique from other cemeteries, because there are not any identification marks on the tombstone in this historical tomb to find out who is lying there, because the Saudi Arabian Government strictly prohibits all forms of shirk. Because if every grave has an identification, it will certainly make visitors try to pray in certain graves that can make this be interpreted as one deviant act in religion..

Very fortunate we have visited him a few months ago when performing Umrah worship ...

Hopefully we can go there someday if God allows it, and hopefully we all become servants who always remember death ...

Good night and Thank you..............

Wassalamu'alaikum..
