Jannatul Baqie Protest Tonight at Zainabia

The date of 8th Shavval refreshes the sad memories of the demolition of Jannatul Baqi. The hordes who carried out this henious crime justify their actions based on selfish motives supported by false interpretation of the Holy Quran and traditions.

2. They claim that visiting such mosques is Shirk.

But is this the truth? What is the true concept of building mosques over graves and visiting them?
