Bahrain City Centre marks holy month with educational Islamic exhibition

Until 23 September, the mall's Galleria will have a custom designed structure based on the Islamic eight point star.

This space will host the biggest of the five exhibitions, 'The Qurans of the World', and will feature a selection of Qurans in different languages from various mosques around the world. Visitors will have the opportunity to read The Quran in Arabic and other languages.

'The 99 Names of Allah' exhibit is a beautifully illustrated gallery of the names of God as traditionally described in the Quran and Sunnah, among other holy places. Through audio stations set into the columns, customers can listen to recordings of the names being recited in Arabic.

'The journey to the Hajj' exhibition explains this special Islamic occasion when up to two million Muslims visit the Holy city of Mecca during the month of Dhul Hijjah, the twelfth month of the Islamic calendar. The display will include a special documentary 'Inside Mecca' and a presentation 'Journey of Hajj'.

Fahad Rafea, Media and Promotion Manager of Bahrain City Centre said the sentiment of the holy month will be reflected throughout the mall.

"The displays will provide an excellent opportunity to understand the significance of Ramadan, what happens when one embarks on a Hajj trip, Islamic traditions and much more. Our endeavor is to promote cultural understanding and provide keen insights into the most important elements of the Islamic world," he added.
