Hawzah News Agency- Organized by Al-Baqi Organization, the Islamic Sufi Board, and Sufi Islamic Mission, the conference demanded the rebuilding of the holy cemetery and the restoration of Islamic heritage. Speakers stressed the historical and spiritual significance of Baqi’, urging Saudi authorities to act swiftly.
Participants noted that the cemetery houses the graves of the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT), prominent companions, followers, prophets, and other great religious figures. They emphasized that the issue is not sectarian but concerns the entire Muslim Ummah and its shared religious and historical heritage.
Jannat al-Baqi’: A spiritual asset of the entire Islamic Ummah
Hojatoleslam Syed Kalbe Jawad Naqvi, Secretary General of the Indian Ulema Council, said Baqi’ belongs to no single sect but is the common spiritual capital of the entire Muslim Ummah. He added that Saudi authorities must restore the historical and spiritual grandeur of the site.
Baqi’: A global spiritual legacy
Syed Fazl Moeen Chishti, a representative of the Dargah Ajmer Sharif in India, said rebuilding Baqi’ is not just a religious demand but a global call to preserve Islamic civilization and sacred historical sites. “Ajmer Sharif has always been a center for truth, love, and unity, and today this voice reaches the world from Delhi,” he added.
Baqi’ issue must be raised in international forums
Hojatoleslam Syed Mahboob Mehdi Abedi, a prominent Indian scholar based in the U.S., said Baqi’ is the heartbeat of every Muslim who loves the Ahl al-Bayt and Islamic history. He added that Muslims worldwide, especially in Western countries, are raising their voices, and the issue must be pursued more strongly in international forums.
Baqi’ linked to every Muslim’s faith
Hojatoleslam Syed Aslam Rizvi, head of the Shia scholars’ board in India’s Maharashtra state, stated that rebuilding Baqi’ is required by religious sentiment, historical awareness, and love for the Prophet. He stressed the issue concerns every Muslim who loves the Ahl al-Bayt and companions.
Another Indian preacher, Hojatoleslam Azadar Hussain, noted that the greatness of Baqi’ is evident from the Prophet’s own practice of visiting and praying for those buried there.
Aman Abbas, managing editor of the Indian newspaper Sahafat, said the issue concerns the Prophet’s household, so all Muslims must unite beyond sectarian differences to rebuild the holy site.
The conference concluded with a decision to pursue the demand for Baqi’s reconstruction more strongly at the international level and to launch an effective campaign through global religious and social institutions.
Notably, Al-Baqi Organization has been persistently following up on this demand in recent years, with the Delhi conference marking a key link in this movement.
