Ziyarat: In the Footsteps

of the Sahaba (ra)

It is reported that over one thousand Sahaba, Tabi’een and Tabi Tabi’een (ra) participated in the early Muslim campaigns against Constantinople. From their number, many would find martyrdom at the foot of the walls, the most famous being the Companion of RasulAllah ﷺ, Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (ra).

This is a special five-hour walking tour to visit the graves of the Sahaba found throughout Istanbul. The tour will take you from the grave of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (ra) to the walls of Constantinople and the district of Karakoy, across the Golden Horn.

The graves visited are those that were located and held in importance by the Ottomans. Great effort and research has been made to verify the authenticity of these graves for the sake of accuracy and Allah ﷻ knows best.
