Holy Quran Museum opens in Makkah's Hira Cultural District
Saudi Arabia is constantly evolving, ensuring visitors coming to the Kingdom — for leisure or religious purposes — have a great experience. While Umrah and Hajj continue to be the main reasons for many to visit Makkah, now they can also visit the Holy Quran Museum. Located within the Hira Cultural District, the Holy Quran Museum offers a look into the history and significance of the Holy Quran. Developed under the supervision of the Royal Commission for Makkah City and the Holy Sites, it's guaranteed to become a must-visit attraction for pilgrims. The Holy Quran Museum blends traditional knowledge with modern technology. It boasts a collection of rare manuscripts and historical copies of the Holy Quran, some dating back centuries. As part of the museum, the Revelation Exhibition will offer an interactive experience that brings to life the descent of revelation. This is highly interesting as Cave Hira — and where the museum is located — is where the first revelation from the Holy Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). A part of the Cave Hira is also accessible, allowing you to visit the site. A photographed copy of the Quran manuscript of Uthman bin Affan (RA) is also on display. This is one of the earliest known written versions of the Holy Quran. Other interactive visual displays will also form part of the new museum, guiding you through the journey of Quranic transcription and preservation. It will also offer insights into how the sacred text has been safeguarded for centuries. The Holy Quran Museum will also house the Cultural Foundation, giving you a chance to explore more texts on Islamic history and heritage. With Saudi Arabia investing in cultural and religious tourism, the Holy Quran Museum stands as a testament to the Kingdom's commitment to preserving and sharing Islamic heritage with the world. It's set to remain open throughout Ramadan, providing a unique opportunity for those visiting to enhance their spiritual experience. Considering that many people make their way to Makkah for Umrah during the Holy Month as well as the actual revelation, Ramadan seems to be the perfect time for it to open.
