What is this on Medina Dome?
- Thread starter ixplora
- Start date
Bro I just received a email fwd with teh same picture with a message saying:
This was a miracle happened around 90 years ago narrated by Sheikh Al-Zubaidi.
A person tried to demolish the Dome of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) – Masjad Al Nabawi (Gumbad-e-Khizra).However, when some one climbed over the dome to start the demolition, a sudden Lightning struck him and the climber died at the spot and no one was able to remove his body from the top of the dome!!!
It was also said that a pious man from Madina heard a voice in his dream that no one can take out the dead body from the Dome and that he should be buried their as a warning and a lesson for those who may think of attempting to demolish it in future!!!
Finally, they decided to bury the man right there on the dome and to cover his body with a green box so it won’t be visible to p people.
Allahu Alam if its true or not

Brother Abu Talib, with much respect I think that's a little far-fetched...my opinion.
FreeMind.
Knowledge is Power.
It's nice to see something trying to link up to it, but that's highly
doubtful.
No intention of disrespect brother, just doesn't seem likely.
As-salaamu `alaykum
I think an event as big as this would have been reported on a mutawaatir scale in the books... The way the story has been conveyed is all to fishy. Just sounds like the Barailwi opportunists have been hallucinating again and forged this story.

Pretty Far fetched, but not impossible, here are my thoughts (logical)
1). maybe it was built there for the rising to the heavens for our Prophet (PBUH).
2). As most have said, for dome maintance
3). As a entrance for sky lights? Maybe like a window on the roof?
Thoughs are my thoughts..
Your point 1). sound pretty thougthless
duh
Read what i told at the end of the story.. i am not here to claim its true .
I just got the fwd..

but then you should not fwd things to others without confirming them first. As i said speculation just adds to the confusion.
You need to wait man .. don't hush up may be they don't consider it important to answer as you think. And it has nothing to do with fundamentals..
Nothing wont happen if you don't find the answer also.. it wont stop you from praying ....
There are other more strong fundamentals you should concentrate on if you talk about it

My refute is that this has nothing to do with the fundamentals of Islam, this is simply something on top of a mosque that mostly has a structural function. One should always deal with the basics before moving onto subjects such as this which are strictly intellectual curiosities and have no holding over the destiny of one's soul.
This is like asking about the color of paint on a buidling rather than what is in the building and what people do in the building.
Firstly, when was it that any one ever came to demolish the masjid of the prophet -s.a.a.w.- in the protected blessed city of Madina?
Second, the masjid green dome was not built by the prophet or his companions or even the guided Khalifas, but by the King Qalawoon in 678 Hijri. The masjid itself was remodelled and had parts torn down and rebuilt and enlarged over ten times, there is nothing holy about any part of its walls or minarets or that dome.
Third, there's nothing challenging about getting a dead body off of a dome.
Fourth and most importantly, someone getting a dream would not convince the salafi Saudi authorities to break Islamic shariah tenets and leave a corpse on top of the masjid, nor would anyone think that God would send specific inspiration that goes against our religion (leaving a body unwashed and unburied in the earth), nor that inspiration containing directives would ever be sent to anyone at all after the prophet said that inspiration after his passing will be cut from the Earth except in personal glad tidings, and this doesn't sound like glad tidings.
Sounds like a sufi myth.

THANK YOU
Finally, this thing on the roof or whatever is only for maintainace or as a light source if maybe power is cut? Nothing else is logica and Islam is the truth and truth is logical as its reality and sureality...So yeah..I think?
If no one has the answer then it will be such a minor thing that we all will laugh out loud. Maybe just a small door for repairing the roof or something whihc is insignificant, actually some morons are looking for such things to support their deviant ideas about Islam. They want to make Islam like Hinduism who can find God even in the small pebble..
