Saudi Wahhabis decide to destroy Prophet Muhammed’s tomb and remove his body to an anonymous grave

 

A controversial plan has emerged in Saudi Arabia to demolish the tomb of Islam’s Prophet Mohammad, peace be upon him and his progeny, and relocate his body to an anonymous grave, in a move sure to draw an angry response from the Muslim world.

 According to the UK’s Independent newspaper, a leading Saudi academic put forward the proposal as part of a consultation document which has been circulated among the supervisors of al-Masjid al-Nabawi mosque in the holy city of Medina, where the remains of the Prophet are laid to rest under the Green Dome, visited by millions of pilgrims and regarded as Islam’s second-holiest site.

Based on the 61-page document, the Prophet Mohammad’s body could be moved to the nearby al-Baqi cemetery to be buried anonymously.

Saudi Wahabi regime had previously demolished the tombs of al-Baqae in the seventies of the last century.
