Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilisation: Trove of treasure

THE GULF TODAY
By Matovu Abdallah Twaha

UNITED EMIRATES---When chapter 103 (Al-Asr/Age of Time) was revealed, the Prophet (PBUH) made a statement to the effect that if mankind had got only this message from Allah, it could have been sufficient. Similarly, it would have sufficed for the organisers of the Islamic Culture Capital Programme to consider only Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization (SMIC) to bestow this status on the emirate. Just like chapter 103, with only three verses but with far thoughtful message, the contents of the SMIC are greater than this rather elegant building. [link]
