Jannat al-Mu'alla
No graveyard is more historical and important in Makkah than Jannat Al-Mu'alla. This is where several of the Prophet Muhammad's (Peace and blessings be upon him) relatives and many of the Sahabah ( may Allah be pleased with them) were buried, including
- Ummul Mu’mineen Khadija (may Allah be pleased with her), first wife of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him)
- Qasim, the eldest son of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him) from his wife Khadija (may Allah be pleased with her)
- Abdullah, the second son of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him) from his wife Khadija (may Allah be pleased with her)
- Abu Talib, uncle of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him)
- Abdul Muttalib, the grandfather of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings be upon him)
The cemetery is located north of the Masjid al-Haram and not far from the Mosque of the Jinn. If you are traveling for your Hajj or Umrah pilgrimage and wish to visit historical sites, Jannat al-Mu'alla is a must-visit landmark in Makkah.
