Numerous narrations highlight the merits of visiting Jannatul Baqi and the rewards for paying respects to the Infallible Imams (a.s.) buried there, as well as praying for the Muslims interred within its grounds. There are plenty of traditions in Shia books, documenting the virtues of visiting Baqi but let’s begin with what has been narrated…
The divine reverence of Almighty Allah towards Hazrat Fatima Zahra (peace be upon her) and her exalted status in the words of scholars of Ahle Tasannun. Ibn al-Jawzi (510-597 A.H.), was a prominent scholar of the Ahle Tasannun from the sixth century especially in the Hadith sciences for which he was titled “Hafiz“. He was…
No, not at all! This is either a grave misconception or a deliberate attempt to force-fit a Quranic verse where it is not applicable.
