In these blessed days marking Eid al-Fitr celebrations across the Muslim world, the Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ICESCO) announced that it had received a gracious royal directive from the esteemed Moroccan Royal Office to maintain the International Fair and Museum of the Prophet’s Biography and Islamic Civilization in Rabat, and to establish it permanently at ICESCO headquarters. This decision reflects the recognition of the Fair’s remarkable cultural impact, as it has welcomed more than ten million visitors since its launch in November 2022, representing diverse groups of citizens, tourists, and guests of the Organization.

The project is the outcome of a strategic partnership bringing together the Muslim World League, ICESCO, and the Mohammadia League of Scholars in the Kingdom of Morocco, within joint efforts to promote the Prophet’s seerah and highlight the richness and humanistic values of Islamic civilization.

Dr. Salim M. AlMalik, ICESCO Director-General, stated that this royal directive is a badge of honor for all those contributing to this partnership. Dr. AlMalik stressed that it also serves as a distinguished incentive to intensify efforts to safeguard the landmarks of Islamic civilization, especially as the year 2026, according to a royal directive in the Kingdom of Morocco, marks the celebration of the 1500th anniversary of Prophet Muhammad’s birth.
