Rabat, August 13 (QNA) - Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ICESCO) hosted in its headquarters in Rabat, the International Fair and Museum of the Prophet's Biography and Islamic Civilization to introduce the biography of the Prophet and the Islamic Civilization.
The exhibition is an opportunity to learn about the morals of the Prophet and the messages of Islam, such as mercy, justice, peace, tolerance, moderation and coexistence.
In an interview with Qatar News Agency (QNA), Director-General of ICESCO Dr. Salim bin Mohammed Al Malik said that there is no exhibition that embodied the noble biography of the Prophet like this exhibition, which was held under the patronage of King Mohammed VI of Morocco, in partnership between ICESCO, Muslim World League, and the Muhammadiyah Association of Scholars in the Kingdom of Morocco.
He stressed that the exhibition, since its inauguration by the Crown Prince of Morocco Moulay Hassan, witnessed a large number of visitors due to its distinctive link and embodiment of the Prophet biography and life, stressing that he had not seen an exhibition similar to this one due to its beauty, perfection, and modernity.
He added that this exhibition addresses all age groups, as it connects with the old man who read about the Prophet in a manner different from what he was used to, while also reaching the young child who lives in a new virtual, digital world.
The Director-General of ICESCO pointed out that the delegation of this exhibition came from Medina to the city of Rabat, which was the capital of culture in the Islamic world in 2022, revealing that in late July 2023 the exhibition was visited by more than two million visitors, which he considered a large number compared to the international exhibitions.
Dr. Al Malik concluded that this exhibition serves the biography of the Prophet and embodies that wonderful example not only for the Islamic world, but for the whole world.
For his part, Director General of the International Fair and Museum of the Prophet's Biography and Islamic Civilization-Rabat Branch- Tawfiq bin Ali Al Sharif said in a similar statement to Qatar News Agency, that the origin of the exhibition is in Medina, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, adding that its organization in Rabat, Morocco, comes as a culmination of the strategic partnership between ICESCO, Muslim World League, and the Muhammadiyah Association of Scholars in the Kingdom of Morocco, as it is concerned with presenting the messages of Islam represented in justice, peace, mercy, tolerance, coexistence, and moderation, based on the Holy Quran, the Sunnah, and the Islamic history through the latest technologies that make the visitor live the dimensions of the biography of the Prophet and historical scenes and relics.
Dr. Ali Al Sharif explained that each of the exhibition halls is considered a self-contained museum, pointing out that the huge encyclopedias in the exhibition have been audited, verified, signed by more than a thousand scholars, viewed by more than 300 muftis, and there is no room for any doubt about the information provided.
