Makkah Project Defends Prophet Muhammad

The government of the Muslims’ most holy city of Makkah has designated one million square meter area for a new project to defend Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and offer the true teachings of Islam and its Prophet.

According to a report published on Tuesday, May 27, by the Saudi Gazette, the new project, titled “Peace be upon the Prophet,” was suggested to combat hate campaigns that have targeted Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in different countries.
Located at the Haram boundaries on the Al-Haramain Expressway, the project will give Muslims an easy access to the teachings of the Prophet.
The project will include an exhibition, university, electronic gate center, library, printing press, translation center, hotels and other facilities
Moreover, the managers of the project will also oversee the printing of an encyclopedia on the Prophet (pbuh), his companions and Islam.
Made up of 500 volumes and 350,000 pages, the encyclopedia on Qur’an and Sunnah has been registered with the Ministry of Information in the Kingdom, and in other countries such as Egypt and Malaysia.
“The exhibition will consist of Allah’s 99 names, an explanation of the Prophet’s character and manners, Islam and other prophets and messengers,” the Gazette said.
The project library would include all material published about Prophet Muhammad and Islam in several languages. A media center will also include a number of satellite channels and media in different languages to highlight the cultural and educational teachings of Islam.
An electronic center for websites dedicated to the Prophet, a translation and printing centers would also be included in the project.
The university will specialize in the Qur’an and Shari`ah, and graduates will be granted certificates in such subjects.
Western media has allowed repeated insults of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
In September 2012, massive protests swept the Muslim world over a US-made film insulting Prophet Muhammad.
Scores of people were killed in the protests against the film titled “Innocence of Muslims”, which was produced by a California man convicted of bank fraud.
The insulting material, which was promote by anti-Qur’an pastor Terry Jones, has also caused strain between the Muslim world and the West over the freedom of expression.
A French magazine has also published insulting cartoons of the prophet on the pretext of freedom of expression.
Insulting the Prophet is considered blasphemous in Islam.
