Woah thats alot of money. I wonder what the person who bought it is going to do to it.
I wonder what would happen if someone bought it then lit it on fire in front of everyone.
It's made of rocks or some shit.

I'm intrigued by the idea of the prophet's tomb being a known quantity. Do they have his bones? Is there a 2 x 1m square where they can say beyond doubt- this is where he was laid to rest?

there'd be nothing left of him now.

especially since muslims don't bury the dead in coffins. it's easier for pests to get to the body.

From God we come, and to God we return. I dont know, its gotta be pretty secure, but I guess it depends on the importance you place on the man. The Prophet was extremely important, but truly, the Ka'aba is a much more important place, rather than the tomb of Muhammad.

Yeah, as you said, the body isn't supposed to be preserved, it's supposed to 'return to God'.

I think he was buried in the ground like every other person. There'd be nothing left of him.

Wats that?

:confused: (i'll prob. b learning bout it in SOR but getting a head start would be gud!)
The structure which all Muslims pray toward. Its "God's Home". Every muslim (if financially stable) needs to go to Saudi Arabia for the pilgrimage, which is largely centred around the Ka'aba.
