MAKKAH — Makkah governorate and the municipality have designated a one million square meter area for a project that will defend Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and explain the true nature of the Prophet's teachings, Makkah daily reported.
Called "Peace be upon the Prophet," the project is described as a city designed to combat the malicious campaign launched against the Prophet of Islam in several countries. The project will be located outside the Haram boundaries on the Al-Haramain Expressway and will give non-Muslims a firsthand view of the teachings of the Prophet (pbuh) and Islam.
The city will include the project’s main headquarters, an exhibition, university, electronic gate center, library, printing press, translation center, hotels and other facilities. The project will also oversee the printing of an encyclopedia on the Prophet (pbuh) his companions and Islam.
The encyclopedia will include various subjects about the Qur'an and Sunnah in 500 volumes, covering 350,000 pages and consisting of three million titles. The encyclopedia has been registered with the Ministry of Information in the Kingdom, and in other countries such as Egypt and Malaysia, and the final touches are being given to 80 volumes.
The exhibition will consist of Allah’s 99 names, an explanation of the Prophet’s character and manners, Islam and other prophets and messengers. The library will contain everything that has been published about the Prophet and Islam in Arabic and several other languages. The media center will include a number of satellite channels and media in different languages to highlight the cultural and educational teachings of Islam. The electronic center will include a number of websites dedicated to the Prophet (pbuh) and Islam.
The translation center will be responsible for translating all works into various languages, and will commence with translations into commonly-spoken languages first, followed by other languages. The printing press has already received the necessary license from the Ministry of Information and will publish all documents regarding the project. The publishing center has also finalized the necessary legal procedures to establish an electronic publishing gateway dedicated to the project.
The university will specialize in the Qur'an and Shariah, and graduates will be granted certificates in such subjects.

Makkah Gov. Prince Mishaal bin Abdullah has expressed his indignation over a policeman putting his leg on the Holy Kaaba while controlling the crowd at the House of God’s black stone corner recently.
The governor urged Makkah region’s police chief Maj. Gen. Abdul Aziz Al-Souli to investigate the incident and take strict administrative action against the officer for his actions.
The image of the man putting his leg just above the stone went viral on social media sites.
Prince Mishaal instructed the police chief to hold special awareness programs for security, military and civilian officers working at the two holy mosques to respect the sacredness of these vicinities and to deal with pilgrims and visitors decently.
Saudi bloggers have condemned the policeman’s action and said such people who do not respect the place’s sanctity should not be appointed to maintain law and order at holy sites.
One blogger, who is studying in the UK on the King Abdullah Foreign Scholarship Program, urged Saudi security officers to learn from British royal guards who stand for hours like idols.
“We should have a special force for the two holy mosques, who will be physically fit and wear military dress especially designed to suit the holy place,” he said.
He also pointed out that these officers should be given special training to deal with worshippers and visitors politely.
“We are talking about the holiest place in the world and not Buckingham Palace,” he added.
