The Shrine of John the Baptist/Yahyah(pbuh)

Well, it is fascinating to see the meeting of religions, in a Mosque it is the "tomb of John Baptist". Some people say that his Tomb is in  a mosque in Syria where his head is located. The same person is admired and loved by Chritians and Muslims. He is a martyr for both because all believe that he was killed and had the head cut. This Shrine is located in Haret Saida, where you can have a full view of Saida.

 Close to the Tomb is written" Hussein" in Arabic, which is the Grandson of Prophet Muhammad((PBUH&HP), and an Imam for Muslims Shiias, and he(pbuh)also had the head cut in Karbala.

 

One of the verses of Holy Quran about John the Baptist (Yahya):

Surah Maryam 12-15

[And when the son was born and grew up, he was told,] "O John! Hold fast unto the divine writ with [all thy] strength!" - for We granted him wisdom while he was yet a little boy, as well as, by Our grace, [the gift of] compassion and purity; and he was [always] conscious of Us and full of piety towards his parents; and never was he haughty or rebellious.Hence, [God's] peace was upon him on the day when he was born, and on the day of his death, and | will be [upon him] on the day when he shall be raised to life [again].

Many of Chrsitians Personalities are buried in Mosques, because they are important and Sacred for both faiths.
