His Excellency, the President of the Republic, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, inaugurated today the exceptional museum dedicated to the life and work of the Prophet Muhammad (SallalLahu alayhi wa salam). This high place of knowledge and spirituality, unique in West Africa, offers an unprecedented immersion into the Siira through modern technologies, allowing visitors to better understand the Prophet's heritage and the depth of His message of mercy, justice, and peace.
The ceremony, marked by solemnity, brought together a distinguished audience: members of the government, religious dignitaries, diplomatic representatives, and customary figures. Offered by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through the International Islamic League, this institution illustrates the deep ties that unite Dakar and Riyadh.
This event marks an important step in the promotion of Islamic heritage and strengthens Senegal's attachment to the teachings of the Prophet (SallalLahu alayhi wa salam) that have shaped our identity and values of tolerance, fraternity, and living together.
On behalf of the Senegalese Nation, the President of the Republic expresses his deep gratitude to His Majesty King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, whose valuable support made the realization of this large-scale project possible. Their constant commitment to the dissemination of knowledge and the universal message of Islam is an invaluable legacy for present and future generations.
Located in Dakar, this museum aims to be a cultural and educational center accessible to all. It testifies to Senegal's role as a land of Islam, knowledge, and dialogue, where faith is combined with openness and respect for universal values.
