Sufis urge Saudis to rebuild tombs of Prophet's kin

Indian Sufis have urged the Saudi Arabian government to restore Medina's Jannat alBaqi cemetery, which has graves of the companions and family members of Muhammad Prophet (PBUH).

A meeting was recently held at Ajmer, the site of the Sufi shrine of Moinuddin Chisti, to announce plans to appeal to the Saudi Arabian government. There has been no response from the Saudi Arabian government to the appeal.

The tombs were destroyed in the 1920s, when the Saud family took control over Islam's holy cities, Makkah and Medina, from the Ottoman Empire. The new rulers subscribed to the forbidding tomb worship.

The shrines in the graves were reportedly demolished by a Wahhabi militia with permission from the new rulers.
