PM Modi Jordan Visit News: Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached Jordan in the first leg of his three-day foreign tour. Here he was warmly welcomed and he was invited for bilateral talks in the palace of the King of Jordan himself. Let us tell you that near the royal palace of King Abdullah II, there is also a place which is considered very sacred for the religion of Islam. Here, the hair from the beard of Prophet Mohammed is kept, which the followers of Islam consider pure. PM Modi reached this area and held talks with the delegation.
Let us tell you that the Prophet Mohammed Museum located in Amman, the capital of Jordan, is considered a very important place related to Islamic history and faith. It is located at a distance of 28 minutes from the King’s Palace. This is the museum where a hair from Prophet Mohammad Sahib’s beard has been preserved. This is considered to be the most sacred of the remains of Prophet Mohammad. It has been preserved here for generations.
Why is this place considered sacred in Islam?
The foundation of this museum was laid under the patronage of the royal family of Jordan and especially King Abdullah II. Jordan has long considered itself the protector of Islamic heritage and holy sites. The Prophet Mohammed Museum comes under the Royal Al Al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought and has been built with the aim of respectfully presenting the legacy, message and historical heritage associated with the Prophet of Islam to the world. The museum has been designed with a combination of modern technology and traditional Islamic architecture, so that the people coming here can not only read the history but also feel it. The sacred relics of Prophet Mohammed kept in the museum are viewed with deep reverence and emotional attachment to any memento related to the Prophet in the Muslim community. For this reason, this museum is not just a place to see but is also a confluence of faith and history.

Here the story of the early period of Islam is told through historical documents, maps and digital displays. Located near the royal palace of King Abdullah II, the museum has become a symbol of both Jordan’s religious and political heritage. This is the reason why this area is given special importance during the visits of foreign guests and heads of state.
Why is it important for PM Modi to reach here?
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s arrival in this region is being considered a sign of India-Jordan relations as well as a sign of dialogue and mutual respect between civilizations. Prophet Mohammed Museum is today considered an important center for understanding the history of Islam not only in Jordan but also for the whole world. Since there is a sizeable number of people in India who follow Islam, his visit holds great significance as the head of a secular nation.
