H.E. Abdul Rahman bin Mohammad bin Nasser Al Owais's message
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Center's Board of Trustees chairman.
The UAEs rapid and phenomenal growth and development in all fields has garnered worldwide attention. Many valuable lessons are to be drawn from the unrivaled story of success and determination of a once young thriving nation that was able to defeat all odds, and secure its status amongst the leading nations of today’s world.
A status that would not have been possible without the sound vision, sheer willpower, and moral values of the nation’s late founding father Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan instilled across the community and adapted as a way of life. The country's wise leadership remains in his footsteps, and continue to steer the UAE towards success, and ongoing progress, placing it amongst the most developed countries in the world.
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, a relatively new and young edifice, in a very short period was able to consolidate its status amongst the world’s leading Islamic centers, and play a pivotal role in relaying the teachings of the true Islamic tolerant religion, along with its status as one of UAEs most prominent landmarks.
The ongoing support Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Center receives from the nation's wise leadership, further enabled it to fulfil its noble mission aimed to cherishing and demonstrating the eloquent Islamic cultural heritage, and promote notions of cross-cultural coexistence, tolerance, and religious moderation in a manner that conveys the very essence and spirit of Islam.
As the Center further serves as a melting pot of civilizations that blends and merges various architectural styles, and celebrates the esthetic features of Islamic art and architecture.
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Center's official website is intended to facilitate channels of communication with visitors, to learn about their suggestions and recommendations, which in turn facilitates ongoing improvement of the Center's overall services, in line with its dedication towards offering all its valued visitors a unique visit experience, topmost services, and quality standards.
As this website also is a place where visitors can learn about Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque's construction history, civic message, the late founding father Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan's rich legacy, and the esthetic features of this mega structure of art and architecture.
We hope that the visitors of this website will be able to form a clear picture about the Center's facilities, amenities, and specialized initiative's aimed to enhance the overall experience of the mosque's visitors. Besides, also learning about the Center's numerous cultural activities that promote its civic message, and that attends to the needs of both local and international community's, fulfilling the modern age requirements.
May God the almighty bless the founder of this grand edifice, and make his abode in His spacious gardens. May he also protect our beloved nation, conserve the core noble principles and values upon which it was built, and allow it to stand out as an inspiring example of success and excellence.
