Save Muslim Heritage

Save Muslim Heritage A campaign dedicated towards the preservation of Islamic heritage. Join us in celebrating our history WHAT CAN YOU DO? OTHER IMPORTANT STEPS:
1.

This campaign initiated in May 2013 after the desecration of the grave of Hujr Bin Adi. Hujr Bin Adi was buried in 660 CE in Adra, a suburb of Damascus, Syria. On 2nd of May 2013 the shrine of Hujr ibn Adi was demolished and the grave dug up. This has shocked Muslims worldwide as Hujr ibn Adi is a revered personality and companion of Prophet Muhammad. Disturbingly, there are also reports the body

was exhumed and reburied at an undisclosed site by the perpetrators. However, due to the dire internal situation currently occurring in Syria, it has been difficult for local leaders to access and verify the accuracy of this report. This issue is not sectarian or political – it is a humanitarian concern which we are all obliged to enact upon by raising awareness as individuals and collectively as communities, to prevent further deliberate demolition of heritage sites. In unity we can raise awareness to the highest authorities and organisations in our respective country’s for our Governments to speak up on an international platform on our behalf to stop these inhumane acts taking place in Syria. For UK residents the overall aim is to contact your local Member of Parliament (MP) to escalate their constituents concerns to the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO). It is hoped that the FCO shall influence appropriate people at an international basis to halt this inhumane practice ASAP.

Listed below are the actions you can each take within your community - steps which are currently being undertaken by the Muslim community of High Wycombe, UK:

Follow these steps prior to contacting your MP:

1. Arrange a meeting with your own respective mosque community leaders and highlight the issue to them. Explain the need of unity with other mosques in the area in order to collectively and urgently act to raise awareness for this cause.
2. Arrange a group meeting with other mosque leaders – irrespective of differing sects - in your area. Explain the need of solidarity and unity to get this issue raised and condemned on a wider scale.
3. Get the attached letter (found in email pack) signed by the religious community leaders, which confirms the representation of the entire Muslim community in your local area.
4. Arrange a meeting with your local community leaders (Council leaders, Mayor etc) and explain the concerns of the collective Muslim community.
5. If you gain support from your community Leaders, request their support to highlight this issue at a local level (local press release etc).
6. Meet your local MP emphasising the urgency of the situation. Present him/her with the signed document with all the community leader’s signatures and also the dossier. Ask MP to raise the issue with the FCO and enquire how else they can help. Contact media outlets in your area to raise awareness of the issue.
