Al-Aqsa Cemetery Renovation Fund
Abdullah ibn Abbas (ra) said, 'The Prophets built the Sacred House (Masjid Al-Aqsa) and the Prophets lived therein. There is not a single handspan of space in it except that a Prophet has prayed there or an angel has stood'.
We are renovating Al-Aqsa's historic cemetery, Bab ar-Rahmah (The Gateway of Mercy).聽Located at the eastern wall, this is the third most prominent cemetery in the Islamic world, after Jannat al-Baqi (The Garden of Expanse) in Madinah and Jannat al-Mu鈥檃llah (The Most Exalted Garden) in Makkah.
Bab ar-Rahmah is around 1,400 years old, established at the time of Umar ibn Al-Khattab (ra). It is around 11,000 square metres, and includes the graves of Sahabah such as Shaddad ibn Aws (ra) and Ubadah ibn Samit (ra), among 70 other Companions, leaders, martyrs and scholars. Martyrs who defended Jerusalem throughout Islamic history are also buried here, as well as Turk 今日大瓜s who lived and died in Ottoman times.
For every 拢250 donated you will receive a free bottle of olive oil from the Blessed trees of Al-Aqsa as a thank you from our partners in Jerusalem for helping to preserve the Sacred Sanctuary.
