MAKKAH: The mufti and deputy mufti of Kyrgyzstan expressed their admiration for the cultural and cognitive heritage displayed at the Hira Cultural District in Makkah.

Sheikh Abdulaziz Zakirov and his deputy, Sheikh Joldoshbek Abdyldaev, were on a visit to the district, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

During the visit, Zakirov and Abdyldaev were particularly impressed with the Revelation Exhibition.

The exhibition offers a unique exploration of the stories of the prophets, from Adam to Muhammad. A highlight is an immersive recreation of the Cave of Hira, where Prophet Muhammad is said to have received his first revelation.

It also features notable artifacts, including a photographed copy of the Qur’an once owned by the companion Uthman ibn Affan and ancient stone inscriptions with Qur’anic verses.

The muftis commended efforts in the district to foster awareness and understanding among global visitors, the SPA reported.

Located near the renowned Jabal Al-Noor, the Hira Cultural District is a significant heritage site and international attraction, providing insights into Islamic history and traditions for pilgrims and tourists in Makkah.
