It's
very hard for a regular Muslim to come across relics and relic replicas and if
she/ he does, they are often extremely expensive.
As an example, authentic
kiswah are often given to diplomats and to people with connections either by
Saudi royalty or The Kiswah Factory. When they are sold, they often cost
thousands and prices are exaggerated by middle men.
Furthermore, there is often
the problem of verifying authenticity. Commonly, replicas are sold as authentic
pieces to a well-meaning buyers. Even when sellers have may have good
intentions in terms of selling authentic kiswah's, because the appropriate
checks are not taken, they are unable to guarantee authenticity.
It is with these two things
in mind that Rumi's Garden aimed to tackle when it came to making relics and
relic replicas available to the public.
We at Rumi’s Garden feel
that this is a good opportunity for any Muslim to simply have something from
our Beloved Prophet ﷺ or
the Holy Kaaba at a fair price that is often much lower than prices set by
middle men. We do this because we understand that these relics serve as a support
for the remembrance of God. We are meticulous in doing our
homework to ensure that each item sent to you is authentic and a reflection of
the beautiful spirit of Islam.
