Mecca
Mecca or Makkah (مكة is a city in the Hejazi region of the Arabian Peninsula, and the plain of Tihamah in Saudi Arabia, and is also the capital and administrative headquarters of the Makkah Region. The city is located inland from Jeddah in a narrow valley at a height of above sea level, and south of Medina. Its resident population in 2012 was roughly 2 million, although visitors more than triple this number every year during the Ḥajj (حَـجّ, "Pilgrimage") period held in the twelfth Muslim lunar month of Dhūl-Ḥijjah (ذُو الْـحِـجَّـة). As the birthplace of Muhammad, and the site of Muhammad's first revelation of the Quran (specifically, a cave from Mecca), Mecca is regarded as the holiest city in the religion of Islam and a pilgrimage to it known as the Hajj is obligatory for all able Muslims. Mecca is home to the Kaaba, by majority description Islam's holiest site, as well as being the direction of Muslim prayer. Mecca was long ruled by Muhammad's descendants, the sharifs, acting either as independent rulers or as vassals to larger polities. It was conquered by Ibn Saud in 1925. In its modern period, Mecca has seen tremendous expansion in size and infrastructure, home to structures such as the Abraj Al Bait, also known as the Makkah Royal Clock Tower Hotel, the world's fourth tallest building and the building with the third largest amount of floor area. During this expansion, Mecca has lost some historical structures and archaeological sites, such as the Ajyad Fortress. Today, more than 15 million Muslims visit Mecca annually, including several million during the few days of the Hajj. As a result, Mecca has become one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the Muslim world,Fattah, Hassan M., The New York Times (20 January 2005). even though non-Muslims are prohibited from entering the city.

Qutubuddin Shaheed
Syedna Qutubkhan Qutubuddin, also spelled Qutbkhan Qutbuddin (died: 27 Jumadil Akhir 1056 AH/ 1648 AD), Ahmedabad, India) was the 32 nd Da'i al-Mutlaq (Absolute Missionary) of the Dawoodi Bohra sect of Musta‘lī Islam. He succeeded the 31st Dai Kasim Khan Zainuddin Bin Feerkhan. Syedna Qutbuddin Shaheed was born in Ahmedabad during the era of the 26th Dai Syedna Daud ibn Ajab-Shah, on the night of 30th Zul-Qada 985 H. During his youth, he accompanied his father, the 27th Dai Syedna Daud ibn Qutub-Shah to Lahore to the court of the Mughal Emperor Jalaluddin Akbar during the fitnat of Sulayman. Akbar had summoned Syedna Daud ibn Qutub-Shah to his court and ultimately issued a royal farmaan in his favor. He was close-confidant to his brother, the 29th Dai Syedna Abdut-Tayyeb Zakiyuddin. The 30th Dai Syedna Ali Shamsuddin was based in Yemen, and Syedna Qutbuddin continued to serve him in India. The 31st Dai, Syedna Qasim-Khan Zainuddin appointed him as his Mazoon, and then successor. Qutubuddin saheb became Da'i al-Mutlaq in 1054 AH / 1646AD. His period of Fatemi Dawat was from 1054 -1056 AH (1646-1648 AD). He was executed by Aurangzeb, then governor of Gujarat, for heresy. Here is a brief account of Qutbuddin’s martyrdom: In the month of Jumadal-Ula of the year 1056 H/1646 AD, false allegations of “rafzi” (rafidi, one who rejects the sunnat of Nabi Mohammad, and introduces innovations (bid’at) in Islamic religious practice), were made to Abdul-Ghawi an official of Aurangzeb, Mughal governor of Ahmedabad, who ordered an inquiry. A Shia man named Shah-Beg was asked to arrest Syedna Qutbuddin, On 28 Jumadal-Ula. Syedna Fir-Khan went along with him. Syedna Qutbuddin spent the next twenty days in prison, meanwhile, Abdul Ghawi was perusing Syedna’s books, but he did not understand a word of them. On 21 Jumada-l-Ukhra, Syedna Qutbuddin was summoned to an audience in front of Aurangzeb. Abdul Ghawi said to Syedna Qutbuddin, “Admit that you are “rafzi” (rafidi, one who rejects the sunnat of Nabi Mohammad, and introduces innovations (bid’at) in Islamic religious practice), repent of your past sins, and the Prince will let you go.” Syedna Qutbuddin roared like a lion, “I am not a Rafzi, my forefathers were not Rafzis. We are true Sunnis—faithful followers of Mohammed. I declare that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet. I read the Quran, I pray namaaz, give zakaat, fast Ramadan, and perform hajj to the Baytullah. I am a Muslim. How is my blood legal for you to shed?” Unsuccessful in getting a real confession, Abdul Ghawi attempted to gather a group of notables from the city to sign their names to a trumped-up confession (mehzara). The majority signed, fearing Abdul Ghawi’s retribution if they did not. One upright judge (qazi) refused to sign without evidence. On 26 Jumada-l-Ukhra, Abdul Ghawi played his fatal card: He told two innocent children from Syedna Qutbuddin’s household that if they said what he wanted them to say (about being Rafzi), their Mawla would be released. When the qazi heard their ‘admission’, he signed the edict. The plot was complete. On the morning of 27 Jumada-l-Ukhra, 1056 H, Aurangzeb approved the execution order. Abdul Ghawi instructed Shah-Beg to carry out the death sentence immediately. He was succeeded by the 33rd Dai Moulana Feerkhan Shujauddin.
