Why did we name it Mishkat “A Niche“ ?

{Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of his Light is as (if there were) a niche and within it a lamp is in a glass, the glass as it were a brilliant star, lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east (i.e. neither it gets sun-rays only in the morning) nor of the west (i.e. nor it gets sun-rays only in the afternoon, but it is exposed to the sun all day long), whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself), though no fire touched it. Light upon Light! Allah guides to Hit Light whom he wills. and Allah sets forth parables for mankind, and Allah is All-knower of everything}
[Surah An-Nur : Verse 35]

Under the auspices of King Abdulla City for Atomic and Renewable Energy, Mishkat will bring together engaging and interactive exhibitions, events and workshops aimed at the youth of Saudi Arabia. It will bring to life past and future innovations in the way we generate and use atomic and renewable energies, celebrating Saudi and worldwide achievements, and supporting Saudi Arabia’s on-going central role in the energy economy sector by inspiring the Saudi youth of today to be the energy innovators of tomorrow.
Mishkat is located in the heart of Riyadh and aims to provide safe place for students and teachers to engage and dialogue to acquire knowledge in the fields of alternative energy, by this, Mishkat will be spreading science and knowledge in a beautiful, interactive and entertaining way just like a Niche (Mishkat) does to the light.
