The Prophet Muhammad Museum (Arabic: متحف النبي محمد) is a museum about Muhammad in Amman, Jordan. The museum was opened on 15 May 2012 at the King Hussein Mosque in Al Hussein Public Parks in Amman, with King Abdullah II of Jordan officiating.[1]
The museum includes some of Muhammad's belongings, including a single hair from his beard and his letter to the emperor of Byzantium, in which he urged him to convert to Islam. It also includes a sapling of the tree under which Muhammad rested on his way to the Levant for trade in the pre-Islamic era. The tree is located in the badia region.
