DUBAI – The government of the booming emirate of Dubai has decided to build the world’s first museum dedicated entirely to the life and legacy of Prophet Muhammad (SAWS).
“In the history of Dubai, this museum will stand as a shining milestone as it will give the world an opportunity to learn about the life and message of Prophet Muhammad,” Omer bin Suleiman, the managing director of the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, told the official WAM news agency.
Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashed al-Maktoum, also the prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, has asked the newly formed authority to immediately proceed with the museum plan.
“Muhammad and the Message” will chronicle the life of the prophet and introduce the visitors to the main stops, including his marriages, the beginning of God’s revelation, the demise of his wife Khadijah, the events of Al Isra’a and Al Mi’raj, migration to Madinah, the conquest of Makkah and the prophet’s death. There will be a special section on hajj and the fundamental aspects of Islam.
The aim is to introduce the world to the inspiring life of Prophet Muhammad and how he changed the course of human history. |

LONDON — Model Zara Admans wants to become the first ever Muslim Bond girl.
Adams is reportedly trying out for the part for the upcoming bong movie “Quantum of Solace.”
‘The casting agent and the producers liked my pictures and other work and have invited me to audition,” thesun.co.uk reported Admans as saying.
“I don’t know too much about the part at the moment, but it is a good character role as one of the Bond girls with about 15-20 minutes of screen time. Working with names like Marc Foster and Daniel Craig, among others, will be an amazing experience.
And to be on a James Bond film as a Muslim Asian woman would not just open up doors for me but break down barriers for other people as well. That would be the biggest thing I could achieve.”
Adams is hoping to get the lucky break, but is aware that her parents may not be too happy.
“I had a strict upbringing and I didn’t even see my first movie until I was at university in Edinburgh, which funnily enough was a Bond film,” the report quoted her as saying.
“I am getting a lot of support from my friends who are extremely excited about this, but my parents aren’t really happy about me auditioning for this part. But I believe you have to choose your own path in life. And if I’m happy, eventually they’ll come around to it as they always do.” |
