جنة البقيع
Jannat al-Baqi is the oldest and most significant Islamic cemetery. Nabi Muhammad (shallallahu alaihi wa sallam) used to visit Baqi regularly, making doa for the deceased. He said: 'Peace be upon you, O inhabitants of the graves from among the believers and Muslims. Indeed, we will, Allah willing, join you.' Notable people buried here include: Uthman ibn Affan (the third Caliph), Fatimah bint Muhammad (Nabi's daughter, according to some narrations), Hasan ibn Ali (Nabi's grandson), Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib (Nabi's uncle), many of Nabi's wives, and thousands of companions. The cemetery covers approximately 180,000 square meters. Visiting Baqi is a sunnah when in Madinah and is typically included in Haji and Umrah visit programs. Visitors recite the doa Nabi taught for visiting graves. The cemetery is open to male pengunjung after certain shalat; women's visiting policies vary by time.
