Bab-Ur-Rahmah Cemetery is a 1400-year-old cemetery located behind the eastern wall of Masjid al-Aqsa. It contains the graves of all Islamic historical periods.
Feeding the poor and needy is an act that draws us closer to Allah. We earn His forgiveness, mercies and blessings through this act of charity.
“Anyone who looks after and works for a widow and a poor person is like a warrior fighting for Allah?s cause, or like a person who fasts during the day and prays all night. (Bukhari)
The cemetery contains the graves of two companions (sahaba) of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), Ubad-bin-Samit and Shaddad-bin-Aus (may Allah be pleased with him).
