When electricity came and the light bulb was invented, it was the first light bulb to come to Arabia.

When electricity came and the light bulb was invented, it was the first light bulb to come to the Arabian Peninsula. This bulb was sent in 1902 by Sultan Abdul Hamid II, a Sufi monk and true lover of the Ottoman Empire, in Masjid Nabawi Sharif, saying that “First the Masjid Nabawi will be lit, then the bulbs will light up in our houses and palaces.” May Allah be pleased with Sultan Abdul Hameed and send peace, security and blessings on his grave. Amen
