In the name of God the Merciful
Al-Meraikhi Old House - (pearl

Museum of Dalma now
Founded by the late
Mohammed bin Jassim Al-Moraikhi
The late Mohammed bin Jassim Al-Meraikhi
was born on Dalma Island in 1870 AD and died in 1935 AD. He had many children
among them: Eid Bin Mohammed, Haddir Bin Mohmmed and Issa Bin Muhammad. He also
had many grandchildren some of whom held senior positions in the state.
When he passed away, the famous
poet, Abdul Rahman Bin Ali Al-Mubarak lamented him in a long poem entitled “Mohammed,
The man of the Folk" in his collection of poems (Diwan Sheikh Abdul Rahman
Bin Ali Al-Mubarak) Page 79, and among which we got the following verses
describing him as a man of great personality who used to support the poor and
the weak and had given lots of charity that the whole country will never forget
him and his great deeds:
خطب دهانا بليل حل العتيما
- حرم علينا بالدجى لذة النوم
بتنا كما بات اللديغ السليما
- والا مريض بات ساهر ومحموم
*******
حامي الحمى دون حرمة والحريما
- له هيبة مابين خادم ومخدوم
ياما عمل لله خير جسيما -
ياما كسا ياما عطا ومد محروم
*******
تكفون ياحاضر زبون الجريما
- ياعيـــد تكفى يانسل ذيك القروم
خلو مقام محمد مستقيما -
خلو اعتباره دايم الدوم مرسوم
