Jannat al-Baqi Al- Hassan Shrine 3D model

Jannat al-Baqī , Hejazi is the oldest and first Islamic cemetery of Medina located in the Hejazi region of present-day Saudi Arabia. It is also known as Baqi al-Gharqad , meaning “Baqiʿ of the Boxthorn” Al-Baqi is reportedly founded by the prophet Muhammad PBUH and serves as the burial place for many of his relatives and companions, establishing it as one of the two holiest cemeteries in Islamic tradition. Monuments and mosques built on or near al-Baqīʿ were demolished under the Emirate of Diriyah in 1806. After their reconstruction, they were again demolished in 1926 under the Sultanate of Nejd, in accordance with their Wahhabi interpretation. These demolitions were condemned across the Islamic world, but the Saudi government has rejected calls for reconstruction.
