SubhanAllah, how many thousands residing in Jannatul Baqi who were far from their place of birth.
Sayyidina ibn Mas’ud RadhiAllahu anhu narrated that Rasulullah SallAhu alaihi wasallam said: The one who recites Suratul Mulk every night will through its blessings save him from the punishment of the grave. We named this Surah ‘maani’ah’ meaning the one that protects from punishment. (Nasai)
JazakumuLlahu khairan to all who have assisted with information and photos for this post. May Allah Ta’ala raise them one and all with the inhabitants they love so much. Ameen.
All good is from Allah Ta’ala whereas mistakes are from this humble speck. May Allah Ta’ala Bless all readers, bringing you all closer to Him and His Rasul SallAllahu alaihi wasallam. May He accept our humble efforts and grant us the capacity to be good and do good. Ameen.
Subhanallah, this is just so beautiful!! And the closest us sisters are ever going to get to see these graves.

Aunty Noor, I really beg you for your comprehensive dua.

Comment by Sister in islam, south africa — May 28, 2008 @ 8:04 pm
assalamu alaykum,
mashaAllah, an informative post…had a check and pics D and F are correctly placed. There is a book regarding al-baqi al-sharif by Dr. Hatim Umar Taha for all those interested. I picked up my copy from Madina, I think it is published in Saudi.
another thing to note, insha’Allah…Imam al-Nafi’ IS Imam Malik’s Shaykh, and with Aqeel ibn Abi Talib and Abdullah ibn Ja’far at-Tayyar is the grave of Abu Sufyan ibn al-Harith ibn Abd al-Muttalib (raDiyallahu ‘anhum).

Wa ‘alaikumus Salam,
Ameen thumma Ameen to all Du’a, and may Allah Ta’ala respond to all of our intentions to become residents of this Mubarak Abode of Dust, Ameen.
So true for sisters, Dear Farzana that these photos produce shivers of awe, bringing the heart closer to all the blessed inhabitants.
Dear N, my computer is being extremely wayward, threats of a wooded spoon attack and grim glances are having no effect, so it may have to be a full lobotomy! Shriek! I am unable to access my email, along with many other functions, but once I can I will email a scanned photo of the two sites you have queried to clarify that the way the photos are now seems to be the most accepted opinion. I also sought help from others who confirmed this, as does Abul Batool, however Allah Ta’ala knows best. The Dr Hatim Umar Taha book is published here and available in Arabic only at the moment. My comment was not exactly clear about Imam Nafi’ being Imam Malik’s teacher. JazakumuLlahu khairan for making it more obvious and for the information about Abu Sufyan RadhiAllahu anhu. SubhanAllah! Allahu Akbar!
Insha’Allah the operation on this trusty companion is successful and once more I will be able to access my mail…SABR in this City of Light, Insha’Allah.
Ajeeb that some things work and others do not..such is the contrariness and mystery of the super highway.
Wassalamu alaikum
