Exhibition chronicles Prophet’s life

An exhibition on Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in Madinah has attracted a large number of visitors. The show is staged as part of festivities marking the selection of Madinah as the capital of Islamic culture.
The exhibition features models and posters portraying life during the time of the Prophet (pbuh). Madinah Gov. Prince Faisal bin Salman opened the show organized by the mayoralty.
There are more than 150 posters giving insights into the life of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), highlighting his relation with God and the family and his migration to Madinah.
It also displays models of the Prophet’s Mosque during the time of the Prophet (pbuh), his house, his rooms, and Madinah during the Prophet’s time, in addition to documentaries on the Prophet (pbuh) and his migration to Madinah.
There are also descriptions on a day of the Prophet: How he spent his time with the Qur’an, the special features of his prayer, his visits to markets, his visit to the Quba Mosque every Saturday and how he spent nights.
“There are descriptions about major historical events that took place during his time,” said Salah Salama, supervisor of the show. “There are also moving models of battles such as Uhd, Khaibar and Ahzab,” he said.
“We have arranged 100 earphones that would allow visitors to hear descriptions in nine major languages including Arabic, English, French, Indonesian, Turkish, Persian and Urdu,” Salama said. The exhibition will continue throughout the year.
People can visit the show from 8 a.m. to 12 noon and from 4.30 p.m. to 10 p.m. from Saturday through Thursday. On Fridays, visitors are allowed only in the evenings.
Kareem Saad Hajras, a pilgrim from Algeria, said he was happy to visit the exhibition, adding that he had learned many things about the Prophet (pbuh). “I had stood for a long time before the model of the Prophet’s house that made me emotional,” he said and praised the organizers.
