We send our condolences
to our twelfth IMAM, IMAM MOHAMMAD AL-MAHDI (A.T.F.S), our great Ulama, and to the Muslim world on the Tragedy of Al-Baqi', the day that Abdul Aziz Aal S'aud, one of the kings of Saudi Arabia that agreed and helped the Wahabbis to demolish the holy shrines in Jannat-ul-Baqi'
On 8th Shawwal, Wednesday, in the year 1345 AH (April 21, 1925), mausoleums in Jannatul al-Baqi (Madina) weredemolished by King Ibn Saud.
In the same year (1925), he also demolished the tombs of holy personages at Jannat al-Mualla (Makkah) where the Holy Prophet's mother, wife, grandfather and other ancestors are buried.
Zinda rahi to baap ko rone nahi diya
Mehroom jaayedaad-e-Mohammad se kar diya
Darwaaze ko giraya tho Mohsin ne ki khaza
Pehlu shikasta ho gaya zulm aysa khuch kiya
Raahat na di hayaat me Binte Rasool ko
Mismaar aaj kar diya Khabre Batool ko
Note: All the graves of companions and Ahlebait used to have beautiful Tombs on them. After Wahabi revolution in Saudi Arabia all the shrines and tombs were demolished and graves were leveled. Now, identification of various graves is only possible through old graveyard maps and documents.
toodi gayi Mzaare Hasan wa museebata
Zainul Abideen, Baqar-o-Jafar ki khabr ka
hai hai nishaan bi koyi baqi nahi raha
Is zulm ki nazeer tho ye asmaan nahi
Sadaat ki bi khabroun ka naam-o-nishaan nahi
