Golden Gate Cemetery (Jerusalem)
Bab al-Rahma cemetery is an Islamic cemetery in Jerusalem, located along the eastern wall of the Temple Mount or Haram al-Sharif. It extends from Bab Al-Asbat (Lions' Gate) to the end of the Al-Aqsa Mosque wall near the Umayyad palaces on the southern side. It has an area of about 23 acres. The Bab al-Rahma cemetery contains many graves of the Companions, most notably Ubadah ibn al-Samit and Shadad ibn Aus, and on the graves of Mujahideen who participated in the conquest of Jerusalem during the Omari and Ayyubid conquests.
