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.
