By: Mohamed Ali

BROOKLYN, New York: A majlis-e-aza to commemorate the Day of Inhidaam-e-Jannatul Baqee (Day of Demolition of Al-Baqee Cemetery) was held on October 5th, at 7:00 PM at Al- Mahdi Center Brooklyn in New York.

A large number of mourners attended the majlis which was addressed by Maulana Sakhawat Hussain, Maulana Tilmiz Rizvi, Maulana Ali Haider Abidi and Maulana Imran Bokhari.

Following the majlis-e-aza, dinner was served. Hussaini Qalandri Matami Dasta delivered elegies.

Al-Baqee Cemetery, housed in the holy city of Medinah, Saudi Arabia, was razed to ground on Shawal 8 in 1925 at the hands of the then Saudi rulers sending wave of anger throughout the Islamic world.
