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.
