Commemorating the Wahhabi Desecration of Blessed Baqie Kayhan Int’l Tomorrow, Friday, the 8th of Shawwal is a day of grief for anyone with a grain of Islamic faith. It is the day on which 94 lunar years ago in 1345 AH (1924), ungodly hordes desecrated and destroyed in holy Medina the Sacred Jannat al-Baqie Cemetery, which Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) used to regularly visit to salute his departed kin and companions. The perpetrator of this unpardonable sin and crime against humanity was the desert brigand Abdul-Aziz Aal-e Saud – a servant of the British Empire – who earlier the same year had shed rivers of Muslim blood, even in sacred precincts, to seize the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, the mostly Shi’a Muslim hill resort of Ta’ef and the Red Sea port of Jeddah.
For his blasphemy against the sanctities of Islam, Britain rewarded the heretical Wahhabi criminal with a pseudo state called Saudi Arabia in 1932, so that he could sow seeds of discord amongst Muslims in order to pave the way for planting of the illegal Zionist entity in Palestine sixteen years later in 1948. The Wahhabi terrorists – as his minions came to be called for their disobedience of the commandments of God Almighty and destruction of anything or edifice connected to Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) – sacrilegiously razed to the ground the grand mausoleum of Baqie that housed the holy tombs of 4 of the 12 Infallible Imams of the Prophet’s Household. These Godless elements were bent upon demolishing the Prophet’s Mosque and Shrine as well, but were prevented by some crafty crooks among their own ranks who feared the united wrath of the Islamic Ummah in such a case. The Wahhabis thought through such devilish acts they would erase memories from Muslim minds of Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba (AS), Imam Zain al-Abedin (AS), Imam Muhammad al-Baqer (AS) and Imam Ja’far as-Sadeq (AS), little realizing that those chosen and exalted by God are always alive in the hearts of the faithful. Abdul-Aziz in his hatred for Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) did not content himself with the destruction of Jannat al-Baqie, but went on to demolish the tombs of the Martyrs of the decisive Battle of Ohad, including that of the Prophet’s uncle, Hamza (AS).
He simultaneously ordered his hordes to desecrate and destroy the other sacred cemetery of Islam, that is, Jannat al-Mu’alla in Mecca, where rest in peace the Prophet’s loyal wife, the First Lady of Islam, Omm al-Momineen (Mother of True Believers) Hazrat Khadija (SA), the Prophet’s infant son, Hazrat Qassem (AS), the Prophet’s uncle and guardian, Hazrat Abu Taleb (AS), the Prophet’s grandfather, Hazrat Abdul-Mutalleb (AS) and other members of the monotheistic Bani Hashem clan. May God damn these seditionists who continue to terrorize Muslim lands and shed torrents of blood in the interests of their masters, the Zionists and the neo- Crusaders in London, Washington and Paris, as is evident in Yemen, where people are being slaughtered and the whole country is virtually destroyed! In Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria and Iraq, these unholy cowards trigger bomb blasts in buses, in marketplaces, and in mosques to kill innocent people.
For years, the Islamic Republic of Iran and Muslims around the world have been urging Riyadh to rectify its misconstrued policies and allow Muslims to rebuild the Jannat al-Baqie Cemetery, but to no avail, since the Aal-e Saud, as is evident by their policies worship at the altar of the US and do not even want the Palestinian Muslims to regain their birthrights or liberate the occupied Islamic city of Bayt al-Moqaddas from Zionist control. Nonetheless, the followers of the Ahl al-Bayt are confident that the day will soon dawn when these oppressors and desecrators of holy shrines will vanish like thin air from the Land of Revelation, as was the fate of the Khwarej, of the Omayyads – who had twice stormed the holy K’aba with fire and brimstone – and of the Qarameta (Qarmatians), who had attacked the holy Ka’ba and taken away the Sacred Black Stone, which was returned 27 years later. In the meantime, let us turn towards the direction of Jannat al-Baqie and recite the greeting with which Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) used to salute the grave of this Sacred Cemetery: "Peace be upon you, O Abode of the Faithful! God Willing, we would soon join you. O' Allah, forgive the denizens of al-Baqie".
