Jannatul Ma’la

Jannatul Ma’la

The picture above shows Jannatul Ma’la, the principle historical graveyard in Makkah which is located in a valley east of the Masjid ul Haram. Several members of the Prophet (s.a.w.)’s family and many Sahabah (r.a.) are buried here.

- The following personalities are buried in this graveyard:

Ummul Mu’mineen Khadeejah (r.a.), the first wife of the Prophet (s.a.w.)

Qasim, the eldest son of the Prophet (s.a.w.) from his wife Khadija (r.a.); he died in infancy.

Abdullah, the second son of the Prophet (s.a.w.) from his wife Khadija (r.a.); he was also known as Tahir and Tayyab.

Abu Talib – the uncle of the Prophet (s.a.w.)

Abdul Muttalib – the grandfather of the Prophet (s.a.w.)

On no account should anybody pray towards a grave or seek supplication through them as this is tantamount to committing shirk, associating partners with Allah (swt).
