Historical Suleiman Mosque in Taif opens
its doors for worshipers after renovation April 28, 2021
TAIF The historical Suleiman Mosque is located in eastern Taif governorate in the Makkah region, and is considered to be one of the most prominent mosques in the region that dates back 300 years ago.
The mosque is part of Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman Project for Renovation of Historical Mosques in the Kingdom. The congressional prayers in the mosque resumed last Rajab.
According to Abdullah bin Mohammad Al-Zubaidi, the imam of the mosque, the historical importance of the mosque is attributed to having several narratives that say that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) made his companions to stop at the mosque place while he returned from visiting his uncles of Bani Saad and told them that Prophet Suleiman Bin Dawood has camped in the place. The mosque was named Suleiman based on this narrative.

Turkey can’t safeguard cultural artifacts in its museums
Alexandra de Cramer Filed on December 12, 2020
The death of the young archaeologist has shone a light on what appears to be rampant corruption at cultural institutions responsible for safeguarding Turkey’s physical heritage.
In January, an archaeologist at the Zeugma Museum, home to the world’s largest collection of ancient mosaics, committed suicide by throwing herself off an eight-story building. In her suicide note, 33-year-old Merve Kacmis said she could no longer endure the bullying from her superiors at the museum, located in Gaziantep in southeast Anatolia. They had accused her – falsely – of stealing 150 artifacts that had gone missing. “I didn’t do it, I’m innocent,” Kacmis protested in her note.
