MEDINA BOMBARDED - We had previously reported that the
Muslims of India were agitated by the bombardment of Medina by 'Abd al-'Aziz [Ibn Sa'ud]. [Ayyub Sabri Pasha's Turkish work, Mir'at al-Haramain:5
volumes, Matba'a-I Bahriyye, Istanbul ,1301-1306
A.H. (1883-1888CE)]
'Abd
al-'Aziz ibn 'Abd ar-Rahman attacked Medina many
times. He even bombed Rasulullah's
(sall-Allahu ta'ala 'alaihi wa sallam) blessed shrine in an attack in 1926 but,
fortunately, could not capture the city.
The
following news was reported in the papers on Sa'at in Istanbul on
September 9, 1344 (1926):

NOTES ON THE BEDOUINS AND WAHABYS :
" Even the large dome over the tomb of Mohammed, at
Medinah, was destined to share a similar fate.
Saoud had given orders
that it should be demolished;
but its solid structure defied the rude efforts of his soldiers; and after several of them had been killed by
falling from the dome, the attempt was given up. This the inhabitants of Medinah
declared to have been done through the interposition of Heaven.”

DURING HIS TRAVELS IN THE EAST, PUBLISHED IN 1831CE]

Written
in the copy of the weekly periodical Ad-da’wa dated Sha’bân 1397 A.H. (1977), which was prepared by a
madrasa named: Jâmi’at
al-Islâmiyya in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia:
“In the coming enlargement of Masjid an-Nabî, only the west
side should be widened and the great bid’a should be ended. The great bid’a is
the inclusion of the three graves in the masjid. The eastern wall should be
brought back to its former place, and the graves should be left outside the
masjid.”

al-Albani(d.1999): "the dome over the Prophets grave
should be destroyed"!
Evil al-Albani demanded in four
or five of his books that the Noble Grave be brought out of the Mosque in Madina and its Green Dome destroyed.
He states: “I have found no evidence
for the Prophet’s – Allah bless and greet him – hearing of the salaam of those
who greet him at his grave” and “I do not know from where Ibn Taymiyya took his
claim: In Majmu`a al-Fatawa (27:384).
That he – Allah bless
and greet him – hears the salaam from someone near.” This and the previous item
are among his greater enormities and bear the unmistakable signature of
innovation and deviation.
In his notes on: Nu`man al-Alusi’s al-Ayat al-Bayyinat (p.
80) and
his Silsila
Da`ifa (#203).

20. Aiding the Arch-Innovator, al-Albani
* You
have provided a haven to Nasir Albani 21 and abetted
him, allowing him to publish his book Ahkam
al-Jana'iz wa Bida'uha in which he openly asks for the removal of the grave of the Prophet,
peace and greetings be upon him, from the most noble Mosque! 22

21 When he was banned from Syria before his expulsion from Saudi Arabia .
He lived house arrest in Amman
until his death in 1999. Cf. Appendix,"Albani&co." [T].
22 He reiterates this foolishness in
his Tahdhir al-Sajid,Hijjat al-Nabi, and Manasik al-Hajj wa al-'Umra.[T]

Sheikh Bin Baz: As for this dome, it was
constructed by some of the later ignorant rulers, if it was to be removed there
is nothing wrong in doing so, rather this is the correct thing. However some of
the ignorant folk will not be able to endure this and may accuse those who
remove it that they are not upon the truth and that they hate the Prophet
(Allah bless him and give him peace). It is because of this the Saudi state has
left this dome as it is, because it was not made by them and they do not wish
for troubles and instability which might be created by some people from the
grave worshippers and those mushriks who hold extreme beliefs regarding the
dead.

وأما هذه القبة فهو موضوعة متأخرة من جهل بعض الأمراء، فلو أزيلت فلا بأس بذلك، بل هذا حق، لكن قد لا يتحمل هذا بعض الجهلة، وقد يرمون من أزالها بأنه ليس على حق، وأنه مبغض للنبي -عليه الصلاة والسلام-، فمن أجل هذا تركت الدولة السعودية هذه القبة على حالها لأنها من عمل غيرها، ولا تحب التشويش والفتنة التي قد يتزعمها بعض الناس من عباد القبور، وأصحاب الغلو في الأموات من المشركين،

* "It is not permitted to
glorify buildings and historical sites," proclaimed Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Baz, then the kingdom's highest religious
authority, in a much-publicized fatwa in 1994.
"Such action would lead
to polytheism. ... [S]o it is necessary to reject such acts and to warn others
away from them."

“It is not permissible to travel with the
intention of visiting the grave of the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam),
nor the grave of any other person, according to the most correct of two
opinions given by the scholars… “As for the intention only to visit the grave,
it is not permissible when it involves undertaking a journey to do so.” [Fatawa
Islamiyah Vol. 1 Page 83]

In his tract translated into
English as Authentic Islamic Aqeedah and What
Opposes It (p. 16), Ibn Baz calls those who visit the graves of
saints "unbelievers" who commit what
he calls kufr al-rubûbiyya.
* A pamphlet published by the Ministry of
Islamic Affairs, endorsed by Abdulaziz Al Sheikh, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, and distributed at the
Prophet's Mosque, where Mohammed, Abu Bakr, and the Islamic Caliph Umar ibn Al
Khattab are buried, reads, "The green dome shall be
demolished and the three graves flattened in the Prophet's Mosque," according
to Irfan Al Alawi, executive director of the London-based
Islamic Heritage Research Foundation.
Sheikh al-Uthaymin: Salafi forums and an audio
recording in the links below quote him as saying, “May Allah make it easy
for us to demolish it (the green dome).”

*This shocking sentiment was echoed in a speech by the late Muhammad ibn Al Uthaymeen, one of Saudi Arabia 's most prominent Wahhabi clerics, who delivered sermons in Mecca 's Grand Mosque for over 35 years: "We hope one day we'll be able to destroy the green dome of the Prophet Mohammed," he said, in a recording provided by Al Alawi.

Sheikh Salih al-Usaymi: The continued existence of this dome for 8 centuries does not mean that it has become permissible and it does not mean silence regarding it is to agree with it or a proof for its being permissible. Rather it is incumbent upon the Muslim ruler to remove it and to return the structure to what it was at the time of prophethood, likewise the removal of the dome, ornamentation and engravings which are in mosques, and their head being the Masjid al-Nabawi. This is as long as this does not result in a greater fitna, in which case if it does then the ruler may delay but still resolve to do so when the opportunity presents itself.

قال الشيخ صالح العصيمي حفظه الله : إن استمرارَ هذه
القبةِ على مدى ثمانيةِ قرونٍ لا يعني أنها أصبحت جائزة ، ولا يعني أن السكوتَ
عنها إقرارٌ لها ، أو دليلٌ على جوازها ، بل يجبُ على ولاةِ المسلمين إزالتها ،
وإعادة الوضع إلى ما كان عليه في عهدِ النبوةِ ، وإزالة القبةِ والزخارفِ والنقوشِ
التي في المساجدِ ، وعلى رأسها المسجدُ النبوي ، ما لم يترتب على ذلك فتنةٌ أكبر
منه ، فإن ترتبَ عليه فتنةٌ أكبر ، فلولي الأمرِ التريث مع العزمِ على استغلالِ
الفرصة متى سنحت “
بدعِ القبورِ ، أنواعها ، وأحكامها ” ( ص 253

Muqbil ibn Hadi
al-Wadi`i who asked that the Noble Grave be brought out of the Mosque and the Green
Dome destroyed
Muqbil ibn Hadi
al-Wadi‘i – known through his books and tapes for his propensity to insult
and disparage those of the Ulema who disagree with him, those who call unto
Allah, and the pious of this Community of Islam – to produce some research at
the end of his studies at the Islamic University of Madîna titled “About the Dome Built
over the Grave of the Messenger ” sponsored by Shaykh Hammad al-Ansarî.
In this paper he
demands openly and without shame that the Noble Grave be brought out of the Mosque,
deems the presence of the Grave and Noble Dome there major innovations, and
asks that they both be destroyed! On top of this you granted him high
marks and a passing grade!
