Wadi al-Salaam ( Arabic; Valley of Peace) is the largest Islamic cemetery, and one of the largest cemeteries in the world. Located in Najaf, Iraq (one of Shi'a Islam's holiest cities), this cemetery holds many of Islam's Prophets, and is located near the Imam Ali Mosque, the resting place of Ali ibn Abi Talib, the 4th caliph, and the founder of Shi'a Islam. According to popular Shi'a belief, Wadi al-Salaam is the place where all righteous souls are sent after they die. Thus, nearly all Shi'as in Iraq request that they be buried in this cemetery.

The cemetery covers 1485.5 acres (6 km²) and contains approximately 5 million bodies.
