Topkapi Palace

The Topkapi Palace is a large palace in Istanbul
that was the primary residence of the Ottoman
Sultans for approximately 400 years. It houses
the ‘Sacred Relics’, various religious pieces of
the Prophets and the Sahabah including what is
believed to be the pot of Ebrahim (upon him be
peace), the turban of Yusuf (upon him be peace)
and hair of the Prophet Muhammed (peace and
blessings of Allah be on him).
