ISLAMABAD, Apr 23 (APP):Outstanding museum has been founded in Makkah for the sole purpose of telling the true and full story of the Prophet’s life (Peace Be Upon Him). The museum is currently situated in Makkah and welcomes group visitors through reservations only, free of charge.
Saudi Gazette reported that all the items in the museum are designed by a team of historians and scientists to identically resemble the possessions of the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him). The museum’s founder Dr. Nasir Al-Qurashy Al-Zahrani clearly specified that they are not original old, historic relics.
Dr. Al-Zahrani said that “The contents designed for the museum are all derived from accurate information.”
The items that are manufactured were mentioned in the Holy Qur’an and in the Hadith; possessions of the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him), he added.
“Our team created furniture, weaponry, helmet, clothes, coins, a scale, and eating utensils like that of the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him). We even made the Prophet’s ring that he (Peace Be Upon Him) used as a seal. The goal is to facilitate the spread of knowledge and to present practical illustrations, utilizing the latest technologies to satisfy the visitor’s curiosity and interest in learning,” said Al-Zahrani.
Architects and engineers built models or miniature cities of the old Makkah and Madinah. Visitors can see where the houses of the wives and companions of the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) used to be. It is interactive, so a visitor can press the search button for let’s say the house of Khadijah, the Prophet’s wife, may Allah be pleased with them, and her house in the model will light up.
The largest library ever compiled that is dedicated only to the biography of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) is found in the museum. The library will include all that was ever written about the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him); books, sources, references, essays, research papers, and any publications by any author in any language. Archives will be connected to a digital database in which all items will be stored and indexed.
There is also a virtual garden that has more than 50 trees which include the names of all people in the time of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) who were related to him through blood, marriage and other.
