JEDDAH:
Reconstruction and renovation projects are underway in six Islamic historical
sites and museums in Makkah.
The
Royal Commission for Makkah City and Holy Sites hosted a field visit from the
Executive Committee for the Path of the Islamic Historical Sites and Museums.
The
sites included the Hudaybiyyah region where the Radwan Pledge took place in the
sixth Hijri year, when Prophet Muhammad brokered a peace treaty between him and
his followers and the Quraysh clan.
They
also visited Bir Tuwa (the Well of Tuwa), Jabal Thawr, the 1,200-year-old water
well and canal Ayn Zubaydah, the Mina site where the Al-Aqaba Pledge took place
and Jabal Al-Nour, the Cave of Hira.
One
of the most important projects is the Jabal Al-Nour Cultural Center.
The
mountain houses the Cave of Hira, which has tremendous significance for Muslims
because it is where the prophet is said to have had his first revelation and
received the first verses of the Holy Qur’an.
