SAEDNEWS: In a section of Istanbul Museum titled “Sacred Relics,” items attributed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) are on display. For instance, personal belongings such as his turban, garments, and sandals are showcased in this section.
According to the History Service of SaedNews, Istanbul’s Topkapi Palace Museum in Turkey stands as one of the city’s most iconic attractions.
Built between 1465 and 1853, the palace served as the residence and ruling seat of the Ottoman sultans, housing up to 4,000 residents.
Among its many treasures, the palace holds a seal engraved in Kufic script with the phrase “Muhammad, the Messenger of God,” reportedly used by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to seal letters.
Following the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1924, the palace was transformed into a museum, drawing countless visitors every year. Designed in classic Ottoman style, it exhibits an impressive collection of warfare artifacts, weapons, armor, miniature statues of Ottoman soldiers, and period jewelry.
Within the museum, the Islamic Museum section preserves artifacts connected to the prophets of Abrahamic religions and the Rightly Guided Caliphs. Many of these items were either taken from territories under Ottoman rule or gifted to the empire’s rulers.
The Sacred Relics section features personal belongings of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), including his turban, clothing, and sandals. Letters sent by the Prophet to the Byzantine emperor and other rulers are also on display.
Two priceless containers hold particularly revered relics: one contains a tooth of the Prophet, reportedly broken during the Battle of Uhud, while the other preserves a strand of his hair.
Other highlights include the Prophet’s ceremonial sword, ablution and dry-washing tools, and examples of burial shrouds historically associated with him.
In addition, Qur’anic manuscripts dating back to the Prophet’s lifetime, garments belonging to Lady Fatimah (SA) and other members of the Prophet’s household, are part of the museum’s extensive collection of hundreds of precious historical artifacts.
This treasure trove of religious history is a must-visit for anyone traveling to Istanbul, offering an unparalleled window into the Ottoman Empire and Islamic heritage.
