King Hussein Bin Talal Mosque, better known as the King Hussein Mosque, is the largest mosque in Jordan.[1] Not to be confused with the 1924, also known as King Hussein Mosque, in Downtown Amman.
King Hussein Mosque was built in 2005 in the reign of King Abdullah II of Jordan in West Amman, specifically in Al Hussein Public Parks at King Abdullah II Street near King Hussein Medical Center. The mosque is located at an altitude of 1013m (3,323feet) above sea level and can thus be seen from most parts of Amman. It is square and features four minarets and marble floors.[2]
The Prophet Mohammad Museum (Arabic: متحف النبي محمد|translit=Mutḥaf al-Nabī Muḥammad) is a museum about Mohammad located in the King Hussein Mosque. The museum was opened on 15 May 2012, with King Abdullah II officiating.[3]
The museum includes some of Mohammad's belongings, including a single hair from his beard, his letter to the emperor of Byzantium, in which he urged him to convert to Islam, and the sapling of the Sahabi Tree, a tree in the Jordanian desert where a tradition says Muhammad rested under it.[4]
