By: Anjum Kermani

ROME, Italy: One of Holy Qom’s Ayatullah Sheikh Jafer As-Sobhany has said flattening and desecration of holy shrines of A’emmah Al-Hodaa from the progeny of holy Prophet Hazret Muhammad (S) in Al-Baqee` cemetery in the holy city of Medinah is tantamount to Tragedy of Ashuraa.

He made his remarks in a statement issued marking the sad occasion of demolition of holy shrines of Al-Baqee` cemetery on Shaval 8.

The holy shrines were pulled to the ground in 1926 at the hands of the then Saudi rulers.

According to Iranian Rasa news agency Ayatullah As-Sobhany said every Muslim is under obligation to express their grief and raise voice against the criminals.

He further noted that it has been a practice of wise men in the world even the followers of other religions that they honour and built graves of prophets and their deputies; graves and shrines of Prophet Abraham in held Palestine, and other Prophets’ in Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Iraq and other places are live evidence.

The Ayatullah said Muslims and freedom-loving people in the world demand rulers of Najad and Hijaz (Saudi Arabia) to permit devotees of Ahlil Beit (AS) to reconstruct demolished holy shrine.
