Wednesday, June 15, 2022 – His Eminence Dr. Ali Gomaa, Member of the Senior Scholars Council of Al-Azhar and Chairman of the Religious Committee of the Egyptian Parliament, visited the headquarters of the International Fair and Museum of the Prophet’s Biography and Islamic Civilization of the Prophet’s Biography and Islamic Civilization in Madinah under the supervision of the Muslim World League, with the direct patronage and oversight of His Excellency Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, Secretary-General of the Muslim World League.
During the tour, His Eminence explored the exhibition halls, beginning with the "Greetings to Allah, Lord of Praise and Glory" section, followed by the "Prophets (peace be upon them) As If You See Them" pavilion, the "Prophet (peace be upon him) As If You Were With Him" section, and the "Women and Children" exhibit. He also examined the advanced civilizational models, modern atlases, and peer-reviewed encyclopedias.
Deeply impressed by this civilizational achievement, His Eminence declared: "Today, in the blessed city of Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him), Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah, Taybah, we visited the International Fair and Museum of the Prophet’s Biography and Islamic Civilization of the Prophet’s Biography and Islamic Civilization—a work of sublime excellence, profound delight, comprehensive perfection, and immense grandeur. Words fail to capture its beauty, majesty, and completeness. All praise is due to Allah, by whose grace righteous deeds are accomplished."
Concluding his remarks, he stated: "For over 20 years, the visionaries behind this great project have strived to transform their idea into the tangible reality we witness today. This is not merely an exhibition or museum—it is a masterpiece worthy of the beauty and perfection of the Prophet (peace be upon him), worthy of Islamic civilization, and worthy to stand as our banner when confronting those who do not know this perfect human being (peace be upon him). This divine man (peace be upon him), whom we have known, followed, and believed in, commanded the worship of the One and Only God and taught us to cultivate the world and purify our souls. Yet he was wronged by aggressors. Our response lies in this blessed exhibition, which Allah has allowed us to witness in our lifetime. This exhibition and museum mark a beginning with no end. I urge every Muslim to learn about, explore, and visit this international exhibition and museum to see how this monumental encyclopedic work offers solutions—indeed, most solutions—to contemporary challenges. We seek not confrontation but the correction of Islam’s image, that of Muslims, and of their Prophet (peace be upon him). Behind this exhibition and museum stand scholars, thinkers, jurists, archaeologists, and historians. Thus, you find it meticulously accurate, impeccably documented, brilliantly organized, and utterly awe-inspiring. Words cannot do it justice, for it encompasses all and withholds nothing."
