ALLAH HU AKBAR. This is my favorite video.

[ibnwoster]

I'm not a supporter of Shabab, but I agree with destroying shrines or anything that leads to shirk

Allahu'Akbar........Insh aa Allah they didn't desecrate the graves. This reminds me of what happened during the time of Sheikh Muhammad ibn Abdul al-Wahhab (r.a.)

"Jabir said: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) forbade (made haraam) that the graves should be plastered or they be used as sitting places (for the people), or a building should be built over them."

[Sahih Muslim 2:2116-8]

[MuminahG]

ALLAHU AKBAR! "Abu'l-Hayyaj al-Asadi told that 'Ali (b. Abu Talib) said to him: Should I not send you on the same mission as Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) sent me? Do not leave an image without obliterating it, or a high grave without levelling It. This hadith has been reported by Habib with the same chain of transmitters and he said: (Do not leave) a picture without obliterating it."

[Sahih Muslim 2:2115]

JAA'AL HAQQU WAZHAQAL BAATIL INNAL BAATIL KAANA ZAHOOQA....

***----aur kah do haq aa gaya, aur baatil nabood(destroy) ho gaya, aur beshak baatil nabood hone waala hai----***

(SURAH ISRA AYAT NO 81)

Mashallah the way of the prophets...

'O Allah do not make my grave an idol that it may be worshipped. The anger and wrath of Allah is generated on that nation who makes the graves of their prophets places of Sujood (worship)
