Out of love for Allah-azwj and His-azwj Walis, one sometimes feels sad and frustrated about not doing enough, when Sunni extremists threaten to deface, damage, or even demolish a holy Shrine. In this short article, we review some traditions of Ahl Al-Bayt-asws, to learn about their-asws conduct upon facing the enemies of Allah-azwj, who were intent on disrespecting the sanctity or eradicating the signs of a holy site, i.e., the Kabah or the Holy graves of Ahl Al-Bayt-asws.

Briefly, we find that the grandfather of Prophet-saww, Abd Al-Mutlib-asws only demanded the release of his-asws captured camel from the king of Ethiopia, leaving the defence of the Holy Kabah to Allah-azwj. The locations of the graves of the daughter of the Prophet-saww and Amir Al-Momineen-asws were hidden from general Muslims to protect their sanctity from the enemies of Ahl Al-Bayt-asws.

Imam Ali-asws Ibn Hussain-asws organised the burial of the Martyred of Karbala, along with their severed Heads, through Bani Asad and it is not found in the literature that the 4th Imam-asws ever instructed his-asws followers to protect the holy graves at Karbala. Through Ahadith, the Masomeen-asws, have encouraged their-asws devotees to visit the Holy graves for our benefit (acceptance of prayers and securing rewards of both worlds).

When Al-Hajjaj-la Ibn Yusuf-la destroyed the Holy Kabah by catapulting stones at it in the event of Harra, and when an army of Yazeed-la plundered the sanctity of Medinah, Imam Ali-asws Ibn Hussain-asws adopted solitude in both cases, i.e., moved away from the fighting fractions along with close family members and adherents.

During the time of the 10th Imam-asws, Al-Mutawakkil-la sent Ibrahim Al-Deyzaj to exhume the holy grave of Imam Hussain-asws, and to plough over it so that all traces of the sacred grave were eradicated.
