Prophet Mohammad Museum, Islamic museum at Al Hussein Public Parks in Amman, Jordan.
The Prophet Mohammad Museum is a religious museum in Al Hussein Park in Amman, Jordan's capital, housing relics and documents from the early period of Islam. Among the objects on display are a hair from the Prophet's beard and a letter he wrote to a Byzantine ruler.
The museum opened in 2012 under King Abdullah II, within the King Hussein Mosque complex inside the park. It was part of a broader Jordanian effort to preserve Islamic heritage.
The museum displays religious manuscripts, personal objects, and early documents from Islamic history that visitors can observe up close. Many Muslims come here to feel a connection to the items linked to the Prophet's life and early community.
The museum sits within the King Hussein Mosque complex in Al Hussein Park and is easy to reach on foot from the park entrance. Guided tours are available for visitors who want a deeper understanding of the objects on display.
Among the exhibits inside the museum is a sapling grown from the Sahabi Tree, a tree in the Jordanian desert where tradition says Muhammad rested. The sapling is a displayed object, not a tree planted in the park around the mosque.
