Rebuilding of Jannal-ul-Baqi Shrines - Honoring the Lady of Heaven; Syeda Fatima (S.A)


Rebuilding of Jannal-ul-Baqi Shrines - Honoring the Lady of Heaven; Syeda Fatima (S.A)
The Issue
We demand and call for the rebuilding and reinstatement of the Jannat al-Baqi shrines, including the revered resting places of Syeda Fatima al-Zahra (the Lady of Heaven); the beloved daughter of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and other esteemed members of his holy family.
The destruction and demolition of these shrines on 21 April 1925 was a profound loss not only to the Muslim world but to humanity at large. These shrines were historical and spiritual symbols of the love, respect, and reverence the Muslim Ummah holds for the Holy Family of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Their demolition erased an essential part of our collective religious and cultural heritage.
Immediate steps to plan and rebuild the shrines at Jannat al-Baqi, preserving their historical and religious significance.
Recognition of the importance of these shrines to the global Muslim community and respect for their restoration as a heritage of Islamic history.
Establishment of a transparent international committee to oversee the reconstruction process, ensuring it is conducted in a manner that respects the sanctity of the graves and the heritage of the site.
Why this restoration is vital:
· Preserving Islamic Heritage: Jannat al-Baqi holds an important place in Islamic history. It is the final resting place of key figures from the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) family, including his beloved daughter Syeda Fatima al-Zahra (a.s), Imam Hassan (a.s), Imam Ali Ibn Al-Hussain (a.s), Imam Muhammad Al-Baqir (a.s) and Imam Jaffar Al-Sadiq (a.s), Aqil Ibn Abu Talib (a.s); the Brother of Imam Ali (a.s).
Rebuilding the shrines is an act of safeguarding and honoring the spiritual legacy that shaped the foundation of Islam.
· A Symbol of Unity: The Holy Family of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is cherished by all Muslims, regardless of sect or school of thought. By restoring the shrines, we can promote unity and harmony within the Muslim community, focusing on what binds us together: our reverence for the Ahl al-Bayt and their profound contributions to our faith.
· Honoring the Dignity of the Lady of Heaven: Syeda Fatima al-Zahra holds a unique position in the hearts of Muslims. Her life, character, and contributions to the Islamic message continue to inspire millions.
The reconstruction of her shrine would serve as a testament to the enduring reverence we hold for her and the values she represented—compassion, justice, and devotion to Allah Almighty.
Our Demands:

This restoration is not merely a construction project; it is a call to honor the past, preserve our collective spiritual heritage, and create a future where the unity and dignity of the Muslim Ummah are upheld.
We urge the authorities and all stakeholders to take immediate action to restore Jannat al-Baqi and to rebuild the shrines that embody the legacy of the Prophet’s Holy Family.
