The Minister’s Message
Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque was established based on the visions of the late founding father ,Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, aiming to commemorate his legacy of noble values and pursue the United Arab Emirates approach, which was founded on tolerance, upholding human dignity, openness, and coexistence with others. Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre has further enhanced this approach since its inception, establishing a leading presence of the mosque amongst cultural exchange platforms with all the notions and values it entails. Alongside its role as a place of worship, the mosque affirmed its role as an incubator for cultural tolerance and a platform promoting the Islamic culture and highlighting the commonalities it shares with world cultures. The historical meetings hosted at the mosque that embody the highest forms of human fraternity, and the leading position it has achieved on the world tourism map, is an indicator of a forward-looking vision and well-formulated plans that have kept pace with the leadership's aspirations and have harnessed success and leadership.
