International Exhibition & Museum of Al-Seerah al-Nabawiyya and Islamic Civilization inaugurated in Rabat

The international Exhibition and Museum of Al-Seerah al-Nabawiyya (life of the Prophet) and Islamic civilization in Rabat was inaugurated Thursday by Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan.

The exhibition hosted by the Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ICESCO) in Rabat, is placed under the high patronage of King Mohammed VI.

Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan visited the “Islamic Solidarity” hall, where ICESCO Director General, Salim Mohamed Al-Malik, delivered a welcoming speech in which he emphasized the importance of this international exhibition which is displayed  in Rabat, the Cultural Capital of the Islamic World for 2022, a first outside Medina, Saudi Arabia.

He also stressed that the organization of this event testifies to the strong age-old ties between the brotherly Kingdoms of Morocco and of Saudi Arabia, under the wise leadership of King Mohammed VI and his brother King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.

The Crown Prince then toured the exhibition different halls, including the “King Hassan II” hall, the “Sila” (Link) hall, organized by the Rabita Mohammadia of Ulemas, as a testimony of the attachment of Moroccans to the Prophet, and the hall of ICESCO headquarters displaying Arabic calligraphy works and “Jewel of Islam”.

Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan visited the “King Abdullah” hall displaying the exhibition “The Prophet (PBUH) as if you saw him”, and miniatures of “Mecca” and “Medina” at the time of the Prophet, as well as a reproduction of the “Minbar al-Nabawi”, identical to the original in its construction.

He afterwards followed, in a virtual reality room, a projection on interactive screens representing, for the first time, “Al Houjra al-Nabawiyya Asharifa” (the Prophet’s room) with all its components and contents.
