    their necks. He (the narrator) said, ‘I perceive as if I am seeing the Apostle of Allah ( صلى ہللا عليه و

    prayed in the fold of goats and sheep. He then ordered mosques to be built and sent for the chiefs

    of Banu al-Najjar, and they came (to him). He (the Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) said to them, ‘O Banu al-Najjar,

    sell these lands of yours to me. They said, no, by Allah. we would not demand their price, but

    (reward) from the Lord. Anas (رضئ ہللا تعالی عنہ) said, there (in these lands) were trees and graves

    of the polytheists, and ruins. The Apostle of Allah (آله وسلم ordered that the trees (صلى ہللا عليه و

    should be cut, and the graves should be dug out, and the ruins should be levelled. The trees (were

    thus) placed in rows towards the qibla and the stones were set on both sides of the door, and

    (while building the mosque) they (the Companions) recited verses along with the Apostle of

    Allah (اللَُّهمَّ إِنَّهُ الَ َخْيَر إاِلَّ َخْيُر اآلِخَرهْ فَاْنُصِر األَْنَصاَر َواْلُمَهاِجَرهْ - (صلى ہللا عليه و آله وسلم [O Allah: there is no

    five days before his death and he said, ‘I stand acquitted before Allah that I took any one of you

    as friend, for Allah has taken me as His friend, as he took Ibrahim () as His friend. Had I taken

    any one of my Ummah as a friend, I would have taken Abu Bakr (رضئ ہللا تعالی عنہ) as a friend.

    Beware of those who preceded you and used to take the graves of their prophets and righteous

    men as places of worship, but you must not take graves as mosques; I forbid you to do that.

    Explanation

    The above Ahadith Nos. 21-28 are related to the practices of Christians and Jews who would

    build the graves of their dignitaries a place of worship. The Prophet (وسلم آله و عليه is (صلى ہللا

    cautioning the people of his Umma not to repeat that practice.

    Salafis and their offshoot groups like Deobandis, Tabhlighees, Jamaat-e-Islami and like minded, have played a big role in taking Muslims away from the straight path of Islam. They pickup Ahadith meant for un-believers and impose them on Prophet Mohammad ( وسلم آله و عليه هللا صلى ), Sahabah ( عنہم اجمعين رضئ ہللا تعالی ) ) and Awliya Allah.

    It is in Hadith - Ibn Umar ( عنہ تعالی ہللا رضئ ) considered the Khawarij and the heretics (Salafis and their likeminded groups) as the worst beings in creation (meaning worst than Satan and his subordinate Davils), and he said : 'They went to verses which were revealed about the disbelievers (the pagans of Makka) and applied them to the Believers (Prophets, Sahabah, Awliya Allah and Muslims). (Bukhari - Chapter Khawarijeen).

    The most vulgar, beastly and inhuman treachery in the history of mankind is the desecration and destruction of the pious Graves of the family members of Prophet Mohammad ( وسلم آله و عليه هللا صلى ), Sahabah ( تعال ہللا اجمعين یرضئ عنہم ), Imams and Awliya Allah in Arabian Peninsula in the hands of fanatic Wahhabis/Salafis. It is reported that Gasoline was poured after destroying the grave of Amina Bint Wahb ( تعالی هللا رضئ) the mother of Prophet Mohammad ,(عنہا وسلم آله و عليه هللا صلى ). ( Reference book 'Grave Destruction and Desecration' by Shaikh Al-Sayyid Yusuf al-Rifai - translated in English by G.F. Haddad).

    They also destroyed Prophet Mohammad's ( وسلم آله و عليه هللا صلى ) house in Makka where he lived for 28 years with his family and they built a Public Toilet on it.

    The same Wahhabis acted differently when the Sufi cemetery was razed by Syrian Salafis to make way for the University of Damascus and its campus in that city. The

    whole world knows that King Abd al-Aziz Ibn Sa`ud of Saudi Arabia intervened personally to preserve intact the graves of Ibn Taymiyya and his student Ibn Kathir. It is important to note that building memorials and domes over the graves of dignitaries of Islam is very much liked by Allah (ع لَ زَ َ ج و ) and His Apostle ( عليه هللا صلى

    وسلم آله و ).

    It is important to note that Prophet Mohammad ( وسلم آله و عليه هللا صلى ) ordered his pious Mazaar to be within a secured room with surrounding walls and roofing. After making the Mazaar of Prophet Mohammad ( وسلم آله و عليه هللا صلى ) Sahabah did not destroy the room. As a matter of fact it was reinforced and ultimately a large Dome was built on Raudhatun Nabi ( وسلم آله و عليه هللا صلى ).

    There is no Hadith or Quranic Verse which says that the Graves of the family members of Prophet Mohammad ( وسلم آله و عليه هللا صلى ), Sahabah ( تعال عنہم اجمعين یرضئ ہللا ) should be destroyed and flattened to the ground without a trace and buildings and roads constructed over them.

    It is in Hadith - Narrated by Abu Dawood and al-Bayhaqi in al-Kubra (3:412) with fair chains. Ibn Hajar, Talkhis al-Habir (2:134) and Ibn al-Mulaqqin, Tuhfat al-Muhtaj (2:29): Prophet ( وسلم آله و عليه هللا صلى ) asked a man (Sahabi) to place a rock on top of Ibn Maz`un's ( تعالی هللا رضئ ,(Grave. When he was unable to move it (as the rock was too large (عنہAllah's Apostle ( وسلم آله و عليه هللا صلى ) rolled up his sleeves and helped him and the whiteness of his arms was visible (to everyone). Ibn Maz`un ( رضئ

    عنہ تعالی هللا ) was the first of the Muhajirin buried in Baqi al-Gharqad. Hadhrat Ibrahim ( عنہ تعالی هللا رضئ ), the Prophet's ( وسلم آله و عليه هللا صلى ) son, was buried next to him. (Abu Dawood, al-Bayhaqi,Ibn Hajar, Ibn al-Mulaqqin).

    The above Hadith was also mentioned by Bukhari under Chapter 'Stalk on the top of the Grave'.

    Ibn Hajar said in Fath al-Bari (3:256, 1959 ed. 3:223): "Al-Bukhari narrated this Hadith with its (sound) chain in al-Tarikh al-Saghir (1:42) "

    The above Hadith clearly establishes the fact that it is Sunnah to make the graves of Sahabah and Awliya Allah higher and elevated from the ground and prominent to keep them as memorials for the following generations. It is also important to visit these pious graves for Dua. If you remove these important memorials, then you will deprive the entire Ummah of the Dua of these pious souls.

    SAHABAH BUILT QUBBA (DOME) OVER THE GRAVES

    (a) Prophet Mohammad ( وسلم آله و عليه هللا صلى ) was buried in Hujarathul Aisha ( هللا رضئ عنہا تعالی ). Ibn Zubair ( عنہ تعالی هللا رضئ ) constructed a beautiful building over it.

    (b) In the the year 557 AH few Christian Rahibs tried to reach the sacred grave of Prophet Mohammad ( وسلم آله و عليه هللا صلى ) by building an underground tunnel secretly. Prophet ( وسلم آله و عليه هللا صلى ) came three times in the dream of the Sultan and informed him about it. Sultan beheaded them and filled molten glass around the grave of the Prophet ( وسلم آله و عليه هللا صلى ) .

    (c) In the year 678 Sultan Qalaoon Salihee built the Green Tomb on the grave of Prophet ( وسلم آله و عليه هللا صلى ).

    (d) Hadrat Umar ( عنہ تعالی هللا رضئ ) constructed a Qubba on Ummul Momineen Zainab bint-e-Jahash ( عنہا تعالی هللا رضئ ) grave.

    (e) Ummul Momineen Aisha ( عنہا تعالی هللا رضئ ) constructed a Qubba on the grave of her brother Abdur Rahman ( عنہ تعالی هللا رضئ ).

    (f) Hadhrat Mohammad ibn Hanfia ( عنہ تعالی هللا رضئ ) constructed a Qubba on the grave of Ibn Abbas ( عنہ تعالی هللا رضئ ).

    (g) Rasoolullah ( وسلم آله و عليه هللا صلى ) grave is covered by a green silk cloth. And Kabatullah is covered with black Silk cloth.

    Some people quote a Hadith of the Prophet ( وسلم آله و عليه هللا صلى ) in which he ordered Ali ( عنہ تعالی هللا رضئ ) to "go and destroy every over-sized grave." This Hadith is in the Sahihayn, Sunan, and Musnad with various wordings. This Hadith is misinterpreted by Wahhabis/Salafis/Deobandis. Imam Sufyan al-Thawri said : "(the wordings of) the above Hadith may misguide people except those who possess (Sahi) understanding (of Islam)." The correct understanding of the Hadith is, Prophet ( وسلم آله و عليه هللا صلى ) asked Ali ( رضئ

  • 13 Return to Contents

    عنہ تعالی هللا ) to destroy all graves of non-believers (pagans) which were high on the ground. This correct understanding is based on the following Hadith of Prophet Mohammad ( وسلم آله و عليه هللا صلى ).

    (v) It is in Hadith - Narrated Anas ( عنہ تعالی هللا رضئ ): When the Prophet ( وسلم آله و عليه هللا صلى ) arrived in Medina, he ordered that a Mosque be built and sent for some people of Banu-an-Najjar and said, "O Banu an-Najjar! suggest to me the price of this (walled) piece of land of yours." They replied, "No! By Allah (ل ز ع ج و )! We do not demand its price except from Allah (ل ز ع ج و )." Anas ( عنہ یتعال هللا رضئ ) added: There were Graves of pagans in it and some of it was un-leveled and there were some date-palm trees in it. The Prophet ( وسلم آله و عليه هللا صلى ) ordered that the Graves of the pagans be dug out and the uneven land be leveled and the date-palm trees be cut down . (So all that was done). (Bukhari Book #8, Hadith # 420). Ibn al-Jawzi in at-Tahqiq said of the above Hadith of Ali ( تعالی هللا رضئ .as follows (عنہ "This (Hadith) is understood to refer to the elevated (Pre-Islamic) tombs the (Pagans) used to build with high and beautiful structures." (Al-Zayla'i mentioned it in Nasb al-Raya). Prophet Mohammad ( وسلم آله و عليَه هللا صلى ) wanted to destroy Idol worship in all its formats. He wanted to clean all traces of Idol worship. This is the reason he removed all idols from Kabatullah and ordered Ali ( تعالی هللا رضئ .to level all over-sized graves of un-believers (عنہ

    Wahhabis did exactly the opposite of what Prophet Mohammad ( آله و عليه هللا صلى did. First they created a sky God for themselves, an idol bigger than all planets (وسلمput together, who has hands, fingers, shins, eyes, face, and other organs. They call it Allah and claim that this idol is physically sitting over the skies on a big chair. They translate the Kalima as "There is no Deity save Allah. When they say Allah is one, they mean that the Big Deity or Idol sitting on the skies is one, unique and no other Deity or Idol is like him. They worship this idol 5 times a day. They claim that this Idol walks down to the first sky every night and then goes back to his chair. They consider that this Idol has sent all prophets and all scriptures. (La haula wala quwwata illa billah).

    we bowed, we placed our hands on our knees. He struck our hands and put his hands together,

    would soon come your Amirs who would defer prayers from their appointed time and would

    make such delay that a little time is left before sunset. So when you see them doing so, say

    prayer at its appointed time and then say prayer along with them as (Nafl) and when you are

    three, pray together (standing in one row), and when you are more than three, appoint one

    amongst you as your Imam. And when any one of you bows he must place his hands upon hie

    Muawiya bin al-Hakam (رضئ ہللا تعالی عنہ) narrated that while he was praying with the Apostle of

    Allah (صلى ہللا عليه و آله وسلم), a man in the company sneezed. He said, Allah have mercy on you!

    The people stared at him with disapproving looks, so he said: Woe be upon me, why is it that

    you stare at me? They began to strike their hands on their thighs, and when I saw them urging me

    to observe silence (I became angry) but I said nothing. When the Apostle of Allah ( صلى ہللا عليه و

    had finished his prayer (and I declare that neither before him nor after him have I seen a (آله وسلم

    leader who gave better instruction than he for whom I would give my father and mother as

    ransom). I swear that he did not scold, beat or revile me but said, talking to persons is not fitting

    during the prayer, for it consists of glorifying Allah, declaring his Greatness. and recitation of the

    Qur'an or words to that effect. I said, Apostle of Allah (صلى ہللا عليه و آله وسلم), I was till recently a

    pagan, but Allah has brought Islam to us; among us there are men who have recourse to Kahins.

    He said, do not have recourse to them. I said, there are men who take omens. That is something

    which they find in their breasts, but let it not turn their way (from freedom of action). I said,

    among us there are men who draw lines. He said, there was a prophet who drew lines, so if they

    do it as they did, that is allowable. I had a maid servant who tended goats by the side of Uhud

    and Jawwaniya. One day I happened to pass that way and found that a wolf had carried a goat

    from her flock. I am after all a man from the posterity of Adam (). I felt sorry as they (human

    beings) feel sorry. So, I slapped her. I came to the Apostle of Allah (صلى ہللا عليه و آله وسلم) and felt

    (this act of mine) as something grievous I said, Apostle of Allah ( should I ,( عليه و آله وسلمصلى ہللا

    not grant her freedom? He (the Prophet ملسو هيلع هللا ىلص) said, bring her to me. So, I brought her to him. He

    said to her, where is Allah? She said, He is in the heaven. He said, who am I? She said, You are

    the Apostle of Allah ( عليه و آله وسلمصلى ہللا ). He said, grant her freedom, she is a believing woman.
