On the month of Safar 1343 AH, The Wahhabis led by the two brothers Sultan bin Bjad and Khalid bin Lu’ay marched to re occupy Hijaz.  The Ashraf met the brothers at an arid land where the brothers committed a massacre followed by another massacre at al-Taif.  The Hijaz army was heavily defeated and the brothers entered al-Taif and killed whomever they met in the streets.

 The fall of Madina occurred in the end of December 1925 and then, the Wahhabis exercised terror, demolished the shrines and destroyed the Islamic landmarks.  Nothing escaped destruction except the prophet’s grave.  Since the grave of Hamza, the mosque built and dome built over it and the martyrs graves were outside the besieged holy city of Madina , these were the first to be targeted for demolition by the Wahhabis without leaving any intact.  The prophet’s shrine was also being demolished but due to the uproar and objections of the Muslims in the Muslim World, especially the Egyptians, this had forced the Wahhabis to stop and thus the shrine was saved from demolition.

 The intentions of the Wahhabis did not change and this did not deter them from the destruction work.  Thus, they are still continuing their practices up to this today in a manner well noticeable by whoever visits the holy places.
