YOOM E ENAHADAM E JANNAT UL BAQI..!! The formation of the first Saudi state in the late 18th century was largely due to the alliance formed between Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab and Muhammad ibn Saud with an aim to establish a religious and political authority over Arabia. In 1806, under the rule of Saud bin Abdulaziz the tombs in the graveyard of Baqi were demolished for the first time. However, the Ottomans gained power and control over the region a few years later and rebuilt the graveyard in 1818. With the turn of the 20th century, the House of Saud under the authority of Abdulaziz ibn Saud (commonly known as Ibn Saud) began capturing different regions again and took over Medina in 1925 during their victory at the Conquest of Hejaz. On April 21st, 1925 ibn Saud ordered for the demolition of the graveyard of Baqi for the second time in history. The campaign also involved the demolition of the tombs at the graveyard of Mualla in Makkah and various other historical buildings. Muslims from all over the world condemns the destructions of holy sites and shrines, especially Al-Baqi, and requests all the momineens to participate in your local protests/rallies to make our voice heard.We need to take actions against these acts of injustice and demand the rebuilding the grave of these divine personalities, giving them an everlasting home that is worthy of their name.
