Tomb of Prophet’s companion in need of restoration

The current condition of the grave of Anas bin Malik, Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) last companion, upsets visitors

The present state of the tomb of Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) last companion Anas bin Malik, who passed away in Iraq’s Basra, elicits strong reactions from visitors. The tomb was constructed after his death in 712.

Anas bin Malik, assigned to Basra during the spread of Islam, resided in the city until his death. It is worth mentioning that his tomb, marred during conflicts involving Salafist groups in the region, now stands unprotected and abandoned.

This significant cultural assets of the region is waiting to be restored.
