Jannat-ul-Baqi
The most pious and spiritual graveyard of the world is called, “Jannat-ul-Baqqi” where several companions (RA), wives daughters, and other family members of Prophet Muhammad sallalla ho allihi wasallam are lying to rest. In the time of Prophet sallalla ho allihi wasallam live hood, this graveyard was thought to be outside Madina City but after the vast extension, it has now come just adjacent to Masjid-e-Nabvi. If you come out from Masjid-e-Nabvi, through Baqqi Gate, or Jibrael (AH) Gate you will see a few yards ahead a boundary wall at a little height. This is JANNAT -UL -BAQQI’S wall. Stairs are made to reach the height.
Men can visit this graveyard going inside but ladies are not allowed even to go up near the wall of the graveyard. Ladies must present their Salaam outside Baqqi. Baqqi is a very clean and tidy graveyard. No bush or tree is there. All the graves are made of mud. No concrete constructions over the graves are made. Pavement and passages are made for easy walking but there is no sign over the graves have been given to know the name of the buried personality. Some guides (Moaleems) tell about graves. A squared boundary of half a foot high has been built around all prominent graves.
People must visit this graveyard with great respect as many great personalities are lying to rest here.
When you enter inside “Baqi”, a few feet ahead, slightly on your right you will see the graves of the daughters of prophet sallalla ho allihi wasalam .Three daughters named Syeda Umm-e-Kulsoom, Syeda Ruqiya, and Syeda Zainab Raddi Allah ho ta’ala Anhuma are buried here. A few steps ahead you may find nine graves of the wives of the Prophet (S. A. W.) including Syeda Ayesha Radi Allah ho talla anha.These graves are combined. After entering in Baqqi cemetery, if you take a left turn and come to the corner near the boundary wall you will find the grave of the closest aunt of Prophet (S. A. W.) Syeda Safia (RA). If you walk straight you will find the grave of Prophet’s (S.A.W) little son Syedna Ibrahim (RA). This is a smaller grave in size and pilgrims may recognize it easily.
If you take a right turn just entering to jannat-ul-baqi you will find the grave of prophet sallalla ho allihi wasallams’ grandson Syedna Hasan (RA). He is buried along with other family members of the prophet sallallaho allihi wasallam. The graves of Syedna Abbas (uncle of the prophet) and other imams like Syedna Baqar R.A and Jafar Sadiq R.A are also situated beside the grave of Syedna Hasan radi Allah ho talla anho. The beloved daughter of the prophet Muhammad sallalla ho allihi wasalam and the lady of Janna (Heaven) “Fatima -ul-Zuhra (RA)” is also lying rest just adjacent to these graves. In the last, almost crossing whole the graveyard, you may find the grave of the most respectable personality in this graveyard, “Syedna Usman (RA) “. Slightly on the left, a little before the grave of Syedna Usman Raddi Allah ho talla Anho, there is a grave of ” Syeda Haleema (RA)” who fed Prophet (S. A. W.), when he was an infant.

Hazrat Abu Huraira (Radi Allah Anhu)
[Sahih Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 3, Number 118] Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi Allah Anhu): People say that I have narrated many Hadiths (The Prophet’s (sal-allahu- alleihi-wasallam ) narrations). Had it not been for two verses in the Qur’an, I would not have narrated a single Hadith, and the verses are: “Verily those who conceal the clear sign and the guidance which We have sent down . . . (up to) Most Merciful.” (2:159-160). And no doubt our Muhajir (emigrant) brothers used to be busy in the market with their business (bargains) and our Ansari brothers used to be busy with their property (agriculture). But I (Abu Huraira) used to stick to Allah’s Apostle (sal-allahu- alleihi-wasallam ) contented with what will fill my stomach and I used to attend that which they used not to attend and I used to memorize that which they used not to memorize.
[Sahih Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 3, Number 119] Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi Allah Anhu): I said to Allah’s Apostle (sal-allahu- alleihi-wasallam ) “I hear many narrations (Hadiths) from you but I forget them.” Allah’s Apostle (sal-allahu- alleihi-wasallam ) said, “Spread your Rida’ (garment).” I did accordingly and then He moved his hands as if filling them with something (and emptied them in my Rida’) and then said, “Take and wrap this sheet over your body.” I did it and after that, I never forgot anything.
[Sahih Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 3, Number 121] Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi Allah Anhu): I have memorized two kinds of knowledge from Allah’s Apostle (sal-allahu- alleihi-wasallam ). I have propagated one of them to you and if I propagated the second, then my pharynx (throat) would be cut (i.e. killed).

Sayyiduna Ali (RA) The Fourth Caliph Of Islam
Election
After Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) passed away, Sayyiduna Ali (radi Allahu anhu) was elected as the fourth Caliph by the Muslims. During the period of the first three Caliphs, Madinatul Munawwarah continued to be the capital of the Muslim world, but Sayyiduna Ali (radi Allahu anhu) transferred the Islamic capital to Kufah in Iraq.
Early Life
Sayyiduna Ali (radi Allahu anhu) was the son of Abu Taalib, an uncle of Sayyiduna Rasulullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Sayyiduna Ali (radi Allahu anhu) was married to Sayyadah Bibi Fathima (radi Allahu anha), the daughter of Sayyiduna Rasulullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). They had 3 sons, Sayyiduna Hassan, Sayyiduna Hussain and Sayyiduna Mohsin (radi Allahu anhumul ajma’in).
Sayyiduna Ali (radi Allahu anhu) took part in the battle of Badr, Khandaq and Khaibar. At Khaibar, it was Sayyiduna Ali (radi Allahu anhu) who subdued the Jews with his furious assault. He also held many important positions during the time of Sayyiduna Rasulullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) and the first 3 Caliphs before him.
He had a love for learning and was a great and learned person himself. He had been given the title of “Baabul I’lm” or “Gate of Learning” by Sayyiduna Rasulullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). He was also called “Asaadullah” or “Lion of Allah.”
Opposition
The situation in Madinatul Munawwarah after the murder (Shahaadah) of Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) was serious. Sayyiduna Ali (radi Allahu anhu’s) first task was to rid Madinatul Munawwarah of the rebels and to return the situation to normal.
Sayyiduna Ali (radi Allahu anhu) was able to force the rebels to withdraw from Madinatul Munawwarah and to establish peace and order in the city. The powerful governor of Syria, Sayyiduna Mu’awiyah (radi Allahu anhu), challenged Sayyiduna Ali (radi Allahu anhu) and refused to pay homage to him. Sayyiduna Mu’awiyah (radi Allahu anhu) insisted that Sayyiduna Ali (radi Allahu anhu) arrest the murderers of Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) and hand them over to him.
Sayyiduna Ali (radi Allahu anhu) was a man with a deep sense of justice and did not want to accuse the wrong people. He needed a peaceful period to trace the culprits. But, Sayyiduna Mu’awiyah (radi Allahu anhu) began accusing him of protecting the murderers, and in this way, the old enmity between the two families were revived.

Assassination
On the 17th of July 659 A.C., Sayyiduna Ali (radi Allahu anhu) overcame the Khaarijees in a battle near Nahrawan, in which, it is said, that 40 000 lives were lost.
In the early morning of the 24th of January 661 A.C., Abdul Rahman bin Muljim, a Khaariji fanatic lay in ambush in the Masjid of Kufah and stabbed Sayyiduna Ali (radi Allahu anhu) when he entered the musjid. He passed away from the wound. He was 63 years old.
Personal Life
Sayyiduna Ali (radi allahu anhu) lived a simple life. He refused any luxury food and wore simple clothes thinking of the poor. He should sleep on the ground and even sit on the floor. He repaired his own clothes and shoes and even did manual labor. He spent nights in Salah and should fast for three days in a row. Honesty, piety, justice, and love of truth were the main marks of his character.
Sayyiduna ‘Uthman Ghani (RA) The Third Caliph Of Islam
Election
Before he passed away, Sayyiduna Umar (radi Allahu anhu) appointed a six-man Committee to elect his successor from among themselves. After long discussions and consultation, they elected Sayyiduna ‘Uthman bin Affan (radi Allahu anhu) as the third Caliph of Islam.
Early Life
Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) belonged to the Ummayah tribe of the Quraish. He was a very rich cloth merchant. He was known as “Al Ghani” or “The Generous.” His father’s name was Affan and his mother was Urwa.
He accepted Islam at the invitation of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu) and migrated to Abyssinia with his wife, Sayyadah Ruqayyah (radi Allahu anha), who was also the daughter of Sayyiduna Rasulullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).
After she passed away, he married Sayyadah Umme Kulthum (radi Allahu anha), another daughter of Sayyiduna Rasulullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). Because of this, he earned the title “Zun Noorain” or “Possessor of Two Lights.” He took part in all the battles with Sayyiduna Rasulullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) except the Battle of Badr.
Conquests
During the Khilaafat of Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (radi Allahu anhu), the rebellion in Azerbhaijaan and Armenia was silenced.
Sayyiduna Mu’awiyah (radi Allahu anhu), with the help of Sayyiduna Abi Sarah (radi Allahu anhu), captured Cyprus by naval attack and brought it under Islamic rule. Vast areas of North Africa including Tripoli, Tunisia, and Morocco were also brought under Islamic rule.
The Romans, although defeated several times by the Muslims in the past, made another attempt, during the Khilaafat of Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (radi Allahu anhu), to recapture the lands they had already lost. Constantine, the Emperor of Rome, made great preparations and attacked Alexandria with a naval fleet of five to six thousand strong. But, the Romans were defeated by the Muslim naval forces under the command of Sayyiduna Abi Sarah and Sayyiduna Mu’awiyah (radi Allahu anhuma).
Rebellion
The Governors of the provinces, appointed by Sayyiduna Umar (radi Allahu anhu), were removed and replaced by members of the new Caliph’s clan. The majority of the new governors were inspired by worldly means rather than by the piety and interests of their subjects. People started to demand the removal of these Governors, but the Caliph did not respond to their appeals. Delegates mainly from Iraq and Egypt, submitted their demands to the Caliph. The situation, however, got out of control.
Assassination
In the turmoil, Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) himself was made Shaheed by rebels while he was reading the Holy Quran inside his house. This happened on Friday, the 17th of Zil Hajj in 35 A.H. He was 84 years old.
Character
Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (radi Allah anhu) was a very simple and very kind person. His simplicity and kindness did not allow him to take strong action against the troublemakers and rioters. Above all, because of his simple-mindedness, his administration was not as disciplined as it had been during the Khilaafat of Sayyiduna Umar (radi Allahu anhu).
Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) was a generous man. He used to spend a lot of money for Islam and to free the slaves. He was a great and pious man who feared and loved Almighty Allah and Sayyiduna Rasulullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) above everything else. Although he was very rich, his life was very simple. He did not indulge in luxury. He was ever mindful of death. Major parts of the night were spent in Salaah. He also fasted every second or third day.
The Holy Quran
A major achievement of Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) was the duplication of the Holy Quran from the records kept by Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu), who handed it to Sayyiduna Umar (radi Allahu anhu), who then handed it to his daughter, Sayyadah Hafsa (radi Allahu anha), the wife of Sayyiduna Rasulullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).
Sayyiduna ‘Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) made copies of the Holy Quran from the original and sent it to capitals such as Kufa, Damascus, Makkatul Mukarramah, and Basrah, each accompanied by a Sahabi for the guidance of the readers.
