JANNAT -UL- BAQQI

1 .  The most pious and spiritual grave yard of the world is called, "Jannat-ul-Baqqi" where a number of companions (RA), wives of Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W.) and other family members of Prophet (S. A. W.) are lying to rest. In the time of Prophet (S. A. W.) livehood, this grave yard was thought out side Madina but after the vast extension, this has now became next dooor neighbor of Masjid-e-Nabvi. If you come out from Masjid-e-Nabvi, through Baqqi Gate, or Jibrael (AH) Gate you will see few yards ahead a boundary wall at little height. This is JANNAT -UL -BAQQI'S wall. Stairs are made to reach at the height.

2 .  Men can visit this grave yard going inside  but ladies are not allowed even to go up near the wall of the graveyard. Ladies must present their Salaam outside Baqqi. Baqqi is very clean grave yard. No bush and tree is here. All the graves are made of mud. No concrete constructions over the graves are done. Pavement and passages are built for clear walking but there is no sign over the graves to know the name of buried persons. Some guides (Moaleems) tell about graves. Squared boundary of half feet high is built around all prominent graves.
3 .  People must visit this grave yard with great respect as many great personalities are lying to rest here.

4 .  When you enter inside "Baqqi", a few feet ahead, slightly on your right you will see the graves of wives of Prophet (S. A. W.) and lady of Jannat (Heaven) "Fatima -ul-Zehra (RA)". These graves are combined. After entering, if you take left turn and come to the corner near boundary wall you will find the grave of the closest aunt of Prophet (S. A. W.) syeda Safia (RA). If you walk straight you will find the grave of Prophet's (S. A. W.) son Syedna Ibrahim (RA) and grand son Syedna Hasan (RA). In last, almost after crossing whole the grave yard, you will find the grave of the most respectable personality of this grave yard, "Syedna Usman (RA)". Slightly in the left, a little behind, there is a grave of  "Syeda Haleema (RA)" who fed Prophet (S. A. W.), when he was infant.
