The booming Muslim Gulf
emirate of Dubai announced Tuesday it will build the world's
first museum dedicated to the life of Prophet Mohammed.
Dubai's
ruler, Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashed al-Maktoum, has authorized the
construction of a museum to examine the legacy and message of
Islam's founder, state media reported.
"The project aims to
shed light on the life and legacy of the Holy Prophet and the
divine message he lived for, thus introducing the message of
eternal love and peace Islam gave entire mankind," reported the
official WAM news agency.
The museum will also
inform visitors on the history and practices of Islam, including
the Hajj pilgrimage.
Cosmopolitan Dubai is
home to over 150 nationalities and follows a relatively liberal
version of Islam compared to elsewhere in the region, like
ultra-conservative Saudi Arabia.
Dubai and
Abu Dhabi,
another member of the oil-rich, seven-member United Arab
Emirates federation, are both positioning themselves as global
cultural centers.
Dubai runs a successful international film festival, while Abu
Dhabi has agreed to pay 400 million euros to France to create
the "desert
Louvre,"
borrowing artworks from the Paris museum for extended periods.
