This came out a while ago and i'm not sure if all of you have heard it. Please take time and listen to this program. What is happening is very sad. May Allah Ta'aala save us from his Atha'ab.

It is basically a discussion between Dr Irfaan Ahmed and the radio presenter, Inayat, on the destruction on many of our Islamic cultural sites. Very disturbing is the zam-zam, rebuilding of toilets on sacred places as well as the destruction of buildings that were in still standing from the time of Rasulullah's Salallahu'alauhi wassalam time.

salaam ma alaykum

the way i see it, is that no one wants them holy sites destroyed, but some stuff like levellin graves thats kool, because graves aint meant to have structures over them, and the other sites, im sure people would have left it alone, its other that go and do shirk at them sites by kissin them and makin special ziyarah's to go and visit them, when they have the kabaah and masjid an nabawi, the best places in the world!! they leave these places and begin to visit other sites, so thats the only possible reason i could think why they destroyed them, its a few individuals who ruin it for others, for example they could have kept some stuff for tourism or somethin, but people will end up misusin them,

let me give you a example lol, in pakiland they have a musuem where they have the cloak of RasoolAllah (sal allah hu aleyhi wasalam) and his walkin stick, and other items. and there was a man who was standin outside the room and makin dua towards the room and then another guy kept takin pictures so they had to close the room lol, so what happens is others ruin it for others, people go to some sites and start doin shirk, so then they just demolish them all!

Is that even possible? I don't support the Saudi kingdom but I think they might have brought them down because they were no longer safe.

Uhh, Masjid-ul-Nabi is a structure errected above a grave...

With you here. What struck us when we listened to the talk was that they were using this reason to destroy nearly everything important.



Well they were modified with times but still were sacred.

..let me get this track 1.. its just keep on giving me a problem!

It was narrated that Abu’l-Hayaaj al-Asadi said: ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib said to me: “Shall I not send you on the same mission as the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sent me? Do not leave any statue without erasing it, and do not leave any raised grave without leveling it.” (Narrated by Muslim, 969)

so thats what RasoolAllah (saw) said about graves, personally i dont agree with the destruction of the sites like Abu Bakr (Ra) house and stuff, but i can understand the reason behind it like, people might take it for a place where they decide to do sum nex thin lol, so like i said some people ruin it for others, like for example the shias they dont know where Hadhrat Hassan (ra) or Hadhrat Fatima (ra) are buried in jannah tul baqi, so they go round like the whole graveyard and recite stuff, imagine they knew which graves they were lol, they would have blatantly ended up doing some next thins there,


yaaah fishy brooo but it werent built by RasoolAllah (saw), nor did he say to do it, nor was it built by the sahaba or tabieen, it was built by some king, and the scholars have said he shouldnt have built it over the grave of the Prophet (Saw) because it goes againist the hadiths and the teachins of RasoolAllah (Saw)



but the destruction of buildings, other then the reason of shirk or summin else like over exageratin them, like they should try to stop the people doin unislamic stuff at them buildings, like for example i wana see the well which Hadhrat Uthman (Ra) bought in madinah lol i dont wana spin in circles or start prayin there lol i just wana see it, but its been like cordoned off or smashed down, thats somethin i dont agree with, but they should make sure no one does any unislamic thins there and they should just allow the buildings

Yes it was, the Prophet (peace be upon him) was buried in his house. That house has become the Tomb inside the Masjid as the Masjid expanded and surrounded it.

thats neww too me jazakhallah

i heard that they destroyed them, to build a car park or summin lol, i think quite a lot of stuff which has been removed is just rumours, there are many people out there who are againist saudi for one reason or another and they just like to make rumours up! Allah hu alim what has been removed, but most stuff was removed for the expansion of the mosque


he was buried in his house fishyy, because Prophets (as) are meant to be buried where they die, and he was buried in the house of Hadhrat Aisha (Ra) which was right next to the mosque, and later on that room was incorporated into the mosque when it was expanded like you said lol, but he didnt ask for a dome to be built over him, that was done ages and ages after he died

But that means that there is still a structure over the grave, is there not? And a dome is just an architectural feature anyway, just a type of Persian roof. If raised graves are forbidden, then how does that apply only to domes and not buildings?

But there is still a structure built over it, is there not?

Any large grave can be called a tomb, from an underground vault to an Egyptian pyramid. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Tomb
