Thursday, March 26, 20267th Shawwal 1447Jumerat MajlisYawm E Gham• The Majlis Focuses On The Tragedy Of Jannatul Baqi And Its Demolition In 1925 By Followers Of Wahhabism• Wahhabism Is Presented As A Minority Trend Within Sunni Islam, Often Linked In Modern Times To Groups Like ISIS And Taliban• The Ideological Roots Trace Back To Ibn Taymiyya And Later Revival By Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab• A Political Alliance With Muhammad bin Saud Enabled The Spread Of Their Influence Across Arabia• Their Theology Rejects Rational Interpretation And Insists On Literal Meanings Of Qur’anic Descriptions Of God• Anthropomorphic Terms Like “Face,” “Hand,” And “Chair” Are Taken Literally, Without Explaining “How”• In Contrast, The Teachings Of The Ahlul Bayt Interpret These As Symbolic—Essence, Power, And Knowledge Of God• Wahhabi Doctrine Often Declares Practices Like Intercession And Grave Visitation As Shirk Or Kufr• This Belief Led To The Destruction Of Shrines In Mecca And Medina Including Those Of The Ahlul Bayt• A Key Theme Is The Difference Between Worship (ʿIbādah) And Respect (Taʿẓīm Al-Shaʿāʾir)• The Qur’an Itself Calls Certain Places And Objects Symbols Of Allah, Like Safa and Marwah• Respecting Sacred Symbols Is Shown As A Qur’anic Principle, Not Idolatry• Love For The Ahlul Bayt Is Rooted In Divine Command And Remains Alive Across The Muslim World• Even In Sunni Contexts Like Egypt, Figures Like Fatimah al-Zahra Are Invoked Spiritually As A Means Of Nearness To Allah• Despite Destruction In Jannatul Baqi, The Emotional And Spiritual Connection To The Ahlul Bayt Remains StrongDonate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)
