'The Most Exalted Paradise'), also known as the "Cemetery of Ma'la"[1] (Arabic: مَقْبَرَة ٱلْمَعْلَاة Maqbarah al-Maʿlāh) and Al-Ḥajūn (Arabic: ٱلْحَجُوْن), is a cemetery to the north of Al-Masjid Al-Haram, and near the Mosque of the Jinn in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.

It is the place where the Islamic prophet Muhammad's wife, grandfather, and other ancestors are buried.

[citation needed] Many domes and structures have been built or rebuilt over known graves over the years.

According to Wahabi tradition of Sunni Islam, shrines are forbidden to be built over a grave so as to not take any saint or dead person for worship.
