Jannat al-Baqi — Cemetery of the Prophet's family
جَنَّةُ البَقِيع
The ancient cemetery adjacent to Masjid al-Nabawi contains the graves of many of the Prophet's companions, wives, daughters, and members of Ahl al-Bayt. Among those buried here are: Syedatona Fatema al-Zahra (AS) — the daughter of the Prophet; Imams Hasan ibn Ali, Ali ibn Husain (Zain al-Abidin), Muhammad ibn Ali (al-Baqir), and Jafar ibn Muhammad (as-Sadiq) — all of the Ahl al-Bayt. Also buried here is the Prophet's beloved uncle Syedna Abbas and his wives.
Why it Matters
The graves of four Imams from the Ahl al-Bayt rest in al-Baqi. For the Bohra community, visiting and reciting Salam upon the Ahl al-Bayt buried here is a deeply moving and obligatory ziyarat during Hajj and Umrah.
Dua when visiting
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
