Many narrations attest that the Prophet visited this cemetery regularly to pray for God's forgiveness for those buried there.[4] It gained further attention after the first companion of Muhammad, Uthman bin Maz'oon (or As'ad ibn Zurarah)[6] was buried there in 625. Four Shi'a Imams: Hasan ibn Ali, Ali ibn Husayn, Muhammad al­Baqir, and Jafar al­Sadiq were also buried there[3]:48 making it an important Mausoleum of four Shia Imams along location for Shia Muslims.[7] Historical records show that there were with Abbas ibn Abd al­Muttalib.[5] domes, cupolas, and mausoleums in Jannat al­Baqi before the 20th century; today it is a bare land without any buildings.[3]:48 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demolition_of_al­Baqi 1/5 4/26/2017 Demolition of al­Baqi ­ Wikipedia An alliance between Muhammad ibn Abd al­Wahhab and Muhammad ibn Saud led to the formation the first Saudi State (also known as the Emirate of Diriyah), challenging the authority of the Ottoman Empire. Most of the Najd was under Ibn Saud's control by the time Muhammad bin Saud died in 1765. By 1806, the Hijaz, including Mecca and Medina, was under the control of the Sauds. The expansion of Wahhabi movement came at the expense of the Ottoman empires' losing the control over Islam's holy places. Consequently, Ottoman Empire sent armies and defeated the first Saudi state in the Ottoman–Wahhabi War (1811–1818). Years later in 1924–1925, the Saud clan regained control over Hijaz and the Kingdom of Hejaz and Nejd was formed under Abdul Aziz ibn Saud's rule.[8] Motivations Wahhabis tried to carry out the demolition within a legal religious context since they regarded the shrines as "idolatrous" and believed that marking graves is Bid'a (heresy),[3]:54 based on their interpretation of Qur'anic verses regarding graves and shrines.[9] They drew from story of the golden calf found in the Qur'an where Israelites manufactured idols and prayed to them causing God to become angry. Some Muslims see the story as a "blanket prohibition" against the worship of images and shrines.[10] On the other hand, Shia scholars used a number of different verses and traditions to support the practice of building shrines over the graves of Islamic saints.[11] According to Shia scholar Mohammad Jafar Tabasi, the graves of Shia Imams buried in al­Baqi had been revered and since hundreds of years ago and non of the Sunni scholars ulamas regarded the shrines as innovation.[5] Weeks before the second demolition, at the request of Ibn Bulayhid, a group of fifteen scholars from Medina unanimously issued a fatwa (an Islamic legal ruling) condemning the making of mausoleums around the graves.[3]:53 According to Islamic studies scholar Adeel Mohammadi, the Wahhabis' destruction of al­Baqi also had political roots. The leader of a Muslim community is responsible for performing enjoining good and forbidding wrong (al ʿamr bi­l maʿrūf wa­n nahy ʿan al munkar) and he can fulfill this responsibility only by having political power. The destruction by the Wahhabis was a political act to establish Najdi authority in the Hijaz, consisted of the religious authority of Najd, Wahhabi scholars, and the political authority of the Saudi family. Mohammadi argues that by the destruction, "Saudi authorities sought to broadcast their newly acquired political power".[3]:53 It has been suggested that the veneration of Islamic shrines represented the desire for a united theological approach to God and a political approach to land. Wahhabism also views the destruction of the site as justified on theological and political principles.[3]:52 According to Mohammadi, the destruction could be carried out with the purpose of indicating victory over Shia, as al­Baqi is the burial place of a number of Shia Imams and members of Ahl al­Bayt ("People of the House") – Muhammad's family.[3]:55 Demolitions First demolition At the beginning of the House of Saud's nineteenth century (1806) control over Mecca and Medina, they demolished many of the religious buildings including tombs and mosques, whether inside or outside the Baqi,[12] in accordance with their doctrine.[2] These were razed to the ground.[4][13] and plundered for their decorations and goods.[6] After taking control of the holy cities, the Saudis tried to create obstacles to prevent non­Wahhabi Muslims from performing the Hajj How al­Baqi cemetery appears today (annual pilgrimage).[12][14] In the next few years, they gradually after the demolitions. increased the Hajj duty.[14] They also banned pilgrims from bringing musical instruments and mahmal (richly decorated palanquins) ­ both often brought by pilgrims but incompatible with Wahhabi religious standards, and later "boys or other beardless persons".[14] In 1805, a year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demolition_of_al­Baqi 2/5 4/26/2017 Demolition of al­Baqi ­ Wikipedia before the destruction, Iraqi and Iranian Muslims were not allowed to perform Hajj. Syrians and Egyptians were refused permission to perform Hajj in 1806 and 1807.[12] Maghrebi Muslims were not prevented from performing the hajj.[14] European traveler Johann Ludwig Burckhardt visited the cemetery in 1815 after the first destruction. Seeing the ruins of the domes around the cemetery, he said that people of Medina were "niggardly", paying little attention to honoring "their celebrated countrymen". However, the destruction did not prevent residents from performing their rituals.[3]:49 The Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II, ordered the governor of Egypt, Muhammad Ali Pasha, to retake the territories controlled by the Wahhabi rebels, starting the Ottoman–Wahhabi War. Muhammad Ali Pasha's son, Ibrahim Pasha, defeated the rebel clans at the Battle of Diriyah in 1818. By the order of Sultan Mahmud II[4] the Ottomans built and renovated buildings, domes, and mosques in "splendid aesthetic style" from 1848 to 1860.[12] Sir Richard Francis Burton, who visited Medina in 1853 disguised as an Afghan Muslim named "Abdullah", said that there were fifty­five mosques and shrines after the reconstruction by the Ottomans. Another English adventurer visiting Medina in 1877–1878, described the city as a "small beautiful city resembling Istanbul". He mentions its "white walls, golden slender minarets and green fields".[13] Also, Ibrahim Rifat Pasha, an Egyptian official travelling between 1901 and 1908, described sixteen domes marking individual and/or a collection of graves.[3]:50 Second demolition The House of Saud regained control of Hijaz in 1924[4] (or 1925).[2] The following year Ibn Saud granted permission to destroy the site with religious authorization provided by Qadi Abd Allah ibn Bulayhid; the demolition began on 21 April 1926[4] (or 1925)[3]:55[15] by the Ikhwan ("Brothers"), a Wahhabi religious militia.[16] The demolition included destroying even the simplest gravestones.[2] British convert Eldon Rutter compared the demolition to an earthquake: "All over the cemetery nothing was to be seen but little indefinite mounds of earth and stones, pieces of timber, iron bars, blocks of stone, and a broken rubble of cement and bricks, strewn about."[4] The workers destroying the buildings received 1,000 Majidi Riyal,[17] the unit of currency at the time.[18] The destroyed domes included those of: Abdullah ibn Abdul­Muttalib and Aminah, Muhammad's father and mother, respectively; Isma'il ibn Jafar, the eldest son of Ja'far al­Sadiq; Abbas ibn Abd al­Muttalib and Hamza ibn Abdul­Muttalib, both uncles of Muhammad; Ibrahim ibn Muhammad, Muhammad's son; Malik ibn Anas; Uthman ibn Affan; four Shia Imams;[17] and 7,000 people who were said to have ties with the prophet Muhammad.[19] Reactions The second demolition was discussed in Majles­e Shora­ye Melli (The National Consultative Assembly of Iran) and a group of representatives was sent to Hijaz to investigate. In recent years, efforts were made by Iranian religious scholars and political figures to restore the cemetery and its shrines, according to the Encyclopaedia Islamica.[4] Both Sunni and Shia Muslims protested against the destruction[2][15] and rallies are held annually[2][20][21] in Pakistan,[22] Iran,[23] and the United States.[20][24][25] The day is regarded as Yaum­e Gham ("Day of Sorrow") by many Shias.[15] According to the Encyclopaedia Islamica, prominent Sunni theologians and intellectuals have condemned the "unfit" situation of the al­Baqi cemetery but the Saudi authorities have so far ignored all criticism and rejected any requests for restoration of the tombs and mausoleums.[4] See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demolition_of_al­Baqi 3/5 4/26/2017 Demolition of al­Baqi ­ Wikipedia Wahhabi sack of Karbala References 1.

  • Saudi Arabia Under King Faisal
    SAUDI ARABIA UNDER KING FAISAL ABSTRACT || T^EsIs SubiviiTTEd FOR TIIE DEqREE of ' * ISLAMIC STUDIES ' ^ O^ilal Ahmad OZuttp UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. ABDUL ALI READER DEPARTMENT OF ISLAMIC STUDIES ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 1997 /•, •^iX ,:Q. ABSTRACT It is a well-known fact of history that ever since the assassination of capital Uthman in 656 A.D. the Political importance of Central Arabia, the cradle of Islam , including its two holiest cities Mecca and Medina, paled into in insignificance. The fourth Rashidi Calif 'Ali bin Abi Talib had already left Medina and made Kufa in Iraq his new capital not only because it was the main base of his power, but also because the weight of the far-flung expanding Islamic Empire had shifted its centre of gravity to the north. From that time onwards even Mecca and Medina came into the news only once annually on the occasion of the Haj. It was for similar reasons that the 'Umayyads 661-750 A.D. ruled form Damascus in Syria, while the Abbasids (750- 1258 A.D ) made Baghdad in Iraq their capital. However , after a long gap of inertia, Central Arabia again came into the limelight of the Muslim world with the rise of the Wahhabi movement launched jointly by the religious reformer Muhammad ibn Abd al Wahhab and his ally Muhammad bin saud, a chieftain of the town of Dar'iyah situated between *Uyayana and Riyadh in the fertile Wadi Hanifa. There can be no denying the fact that the early rulers of the Saudi family succeeded in bringing about political stability in strife-torn Central Arabia by fusing together the numerous war-like Bedouin tribes and the settled communities into a political entity under the banner of standard, Unitarian Islam as revived and preached by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab.

World’s fairs 1 World’s fairs made their appearance in the middle of the 19th century as the result of a development based on a tradition of medieval church fairs, displays of industrial and craft produce, and exhibitions of arts and peoples that had been popular in Britain and France. Some of these early fairs were aimed primarily at the promotion of crafts and industry. Others wanted to edify and entertain: replicas of city quarters or buildings characteristic of a city were erected thereby creating a new branch of the building industry which became known as coulisse-architecture.

Bsoul1 Overview paper Khalifa University UDC 28:341 United Arab Emirates THE ISLAMIC EPISTEME OF POLITIES DEVELOPMENT IN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Abstract This paper illustrates the contributions of Islamic law to the development of transnational socio-political organisations that transcend racial and geopolitical fixations. Those are best enshrined in the premise of the unity of believing com- munity and humanity led to the Shari‘ah/Islamic law. Islam advocates the devel- opment and consolidation of communities. This study discusses the concept of ‘ummah’ (community of believers) according to the tradition of Prophet Muham- mad and surveys its development throughout the Islamic caliphates, sultanates, and imamates up until colonialism and modern ‘nation-state’ system. The article argues that there are ontological, epistemological, and normative differences spanning the divide between Muslim and Western worldviews especially con- cerning the development and management of their polities. Keywords: Islamic International Law/Siyar, Legal provisions, Politics, Muslim Jurists, Justice, State Introduction The Islamic religion should enhance people’s lives, while defining the limits of ‘free-living’ according to the Shari‘ah/Islamic law.2 This is derived from several aspects. The first is the origin or theoretical foundation of religion from which the conduct, behaviour, and purpose of existence are related to God and crea- tion. This is known as ‘ilm al-‘aqidah or usul al-din. The second pertains to the system, which defines the conduct of man in accordance with this ‘ilm in terms of social relations, finance and human interaction.
