A cemetery from the days of ignorance is 700 meters away from the Kaaba... and the secret of calling it "Shabikah" (video)
Today, Thursday, the Saudi "Al-Ekhbariya" channel sheds light on the "Shabikah Cemetery", which is not known to many and is located next to the Grand Mosque from the western side, and is only 700 meters from the Kaaba.
The director of the Center for the Study of the History of Makkah, Dr. Fawzi Al-Dahas, said: "This cemetery is one of the ancient pre-Islamic tombs in Mecca, and it was named after the good ones and the allies, who are the Banu Abd al-Dar and Banu Abd Manaf, descendants of Qusay ibn Kilab."
Al-Dahas added: "The two teams differed over the jobs that Qusay bin Kilab left to his sons after him. A group of Quraish allied with Banu Abd al-Dar, and another team with Banu Abd Manaf, and a clash erupted between them."
According to the “observatory”, the historian indicated that no one has been buried in the cemetery for a century and a half, specifically since 1310, but those who were buried there were from certain families, and were not public, and Mecca was hit in the thirteenth century AH by an epidemic that spread in it and many dead and buried in it. Many of the victims of the epidemic became smelly and harmed pilgrims and pilgrims, so burials were forbidden.
