جنة البقيع
Jannat al-Baqi is the oldest and most significant Islamic cemetery. نبی کریم Muhammad (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) used to visit Baqi regularly, making دعا 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 (نبی کریم's daughter, according to some narrations), Hasan ibn Ali (نبی کریم's grandson), Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib (نبی کریم's uncle), many of نبی کریم's wives, and thousands of companions. The cemetery covers approximately 180,000 square meters. Visiting Baqi is a sunnah when in مدینہ منورہ and is typically included in حج and عمرہ visit programs. Visitors recite the دعا نبی کریم taught for visiting graves. The cemetery is open to male visitors after certain نمازs; women's visiting policies vary by time.
