Cairo: A Saudi government think tank rejected a video posted on social media claiming that an ancient space in the holy city of Medina belonged to a daughter of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
In the footage, a man is seen visiting an ancient stone space in the village of Qaba in Medina, while the filmmaker claims that the place was once the home of Umm Kolthum, the third daughter of the Prophet.
Commenting on this claim, the Al Madinah Al Munawwar Center for Research and Studies dismissed the comments in the video as “incorrect. “”The filmed houses have nothing to do with the prophetic biography or daughters of the Prophet, peace be upon him and God bless you,” the outlet said in a statement.
Amid the importance of observing accuracy and consulting original resources when publishing data similar to the life of the Prophet and the history of Medina, home to the second holiest site in Islam.
“The center has published several books and studies on the history of Medina and its monuments that can be accessed and used on the center’s official website,” he adds.
Medina is for the Prophet’s Mosque, which houses Al Rawda Al Sharifa, where the tomb of the Prophet Muhammad is located.
After performing the Umrah pilgrimage to the Grand Mosque, Islam’s holiest site in Mecca, many pilgrims flocked to the Prophet’s mosque.
According to Saudi rules, worshippers wishing to stop and pray at Al Rawda Al Sharifa will have to download an official permit beforehand.
Saudi Arabia expects around 10 million Muslims abroad to perform Umrah or a small pilgrimage during the current season.
