Wa Alaikum As Salam, Jazak Allah Khair, for your attention in this matter. I had heard that they were going to destroy the prophet pbuh's house, yet I thought it was only rumor. Many historical sites like this one has been demolished by the Sauid Government, which they say is to keep people from committing "bidah" by seeking blessings in these places. May Allah save us! They were one of the first countries to cry out at the destruction of the idols in Afghanistan. Here is a list also fyi of the historical sites which have been demolished in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I urge everyone to forward this and sign the petition, although I doubt it will stop them. Souladvisor A partial list of the demolished graves and shrines · Al-Mualla graveyard in Makkah which includes the grave of Sayyida Khadija bint Khuwailid (RAA), wife of the Prophet (SAW), the grave of Amina bint Wahab, mother of the Prophet (SAW), the grave of Abu Talib, father of Imam Ali (RAA), and the grave of Abdul Muttalib, grandfather of the Prophet (SAW)
· The grave of Hawa (Eve) in Jeddah · The grave of the father of the Prophet (SAW) in Madina · The house of sorrows (bayt al-Ahzan) of Sayyida Fatima (RAA) in Madina · The Salman al-Farsi mosque in Madina · The Raj'at ash-Shams mosque in Madina · The house of the Prophet (SAW) in Madina, where he lived after migrating from Makkah · The house of Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (RAA) in Madina · The complex (mahhalla) of Banu Hashim in Madina · The house of Imam Ali (RAA) where Imam Hasan (RAA) and Imam Husayn (RAA) were born · The house of Hamza and the graves of the martyrs of Uhud (RAA) · "The Seven Mosques" (In Madinah Al Manawerra), which included Fatimah RAA (The daughter of the Prophet) Mosque, and Abu Bakr Al Sadiq RAA Mosque have also been barred from public view (Doors bared) and some of the Seven Mosques were torn to the ground two years ago to date. I haven't been there for a while, but I heard only three of the seven Mosques are still standing. · Ali Ibn Al Oraid (His Grand Father was Ali bin Abi Talab. Raa) mosque was torn down this year, and his body that had been there for centuries moved to Al-Baqi. wendyegypt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Salam Alaikum, Please sign this petition and forward this message to as many people as you can and ask them to do the same.

Offenses have isolated me, so there is none to be my companion. I am too weak for Thy wrath and there is none to strengthen me.
