On the last day of Ramadan, the historical Seyyid Harun Mosque located in the Seydişehir district of Konya opened the visitation of the “Muhammad's beard” ( Known in the Ottoman language as the Sakal-ı Şerif)
Citizens who touched Muhammad's beard with the accompaniment of Salawat (blessings upon the Prophet) experienced emotional moments.
The Imam of the Seyyid Harun Mosque, Süleyman Koyuncu, stated that Muhammad's beard is only present in this mosque in the district and that it is wrapped in 40 layers of cloth.
Koyuncu said, “Every year during Ramadan, especially, on the last day of Ramadan, we open the visitation of Muhammad's beard for our citizens with Salawat. Our citizens experience the excitement of touching Muhammad's beard on this meaningful and blessed night, which is worth more than a thousand months. At the end of the visit, we close Muhammad's beard with Salawat again."
