Jeddah, (IINA) - The historic Al-Hudaibiya Mosque will be demolished and rebuilt by the Islamic Affairs Ministry and the Saudi Commission for Tourism and National Heritage (SCTNH) to reflect its significance in Islam, Arab News reported.
The mosque was built on the site where the Prophet (peace be upon him) signed a peace agreement in 628 CE with the pagans of Makkah, which was called the Treaty of Hudaibiya. The area is on the western side of Makkah.
Director General of the SCTNH in Makkah Faisal Al-Shareef said that an experienced engineering firm would be brought in to handle the project by using the latest scientific techniques and materials.
The SCTNH and the Al-Turath Heritage Foundation have completed the restoration of 21 mosques across the Kingdom. The SCTNH has also set up a project to restore other mosques in cooperation with the Islamic Affairs Ministry in order to highlight their religious importance.
