Qal'i
The Qal’i Sword – Premium Historical Replica (Topkapi Collection)
A Legacy of Sacred History
One of the nine sacred swords of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the "Qal’i" or "Qul’ay" is a museum-quality replica modeled after the significant artifact preserved within the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul. While it is one of the swords the Prophet (PBUH) acquired as booty from the Banu Qaynaqa, it is also traditionally attributed to Hazrat Umar.
Distinguished Design & Inscriptions
This replica faithfully captures the unique characteristics that set the Qal’i apart from other historical blades:
-
Unique Wave Design: The blade is distinguished from other swords by its wave-like design, a rare and beautiful feature among early historical artifacts.
-
Sacred Inscription: Reflecting the museum piece, the blade features a noble Arabic inscription above the handle: “This is the noble sword of the house of Muhammad the prophet, the apostle of God”.
-
Historical Origins: The name may relate to a place in Syria or India, or to the adjective "qal’i" referring to tin or "white lead"—materials discovered by the grandfather of the Prophet (PBUH) when uncovering the Well of Zamzam in Mecca.
