The Grand Mosque, Abu Dhabi - A Modern Wonder

[vagvll]

it is an amazing structure so simple and so beatiful decorated.I visit it while i was in Dubai 2 years ago and it really impressed me because ive never heard of it.

[JennaSmith987]

Mosques should be plain and simple. They are not constructed to impress the eye of man but to worship God. The images of plants on the columns and inside serve as distraction from meditation of a peaceful mind.

Why do they name mosques after some rich shaikh? Why can they not name mosques properly?

c'est pour qui tout sa??? musulmans sans islam , pays de nifaq et fassad

AbuDahbi is very cute and everything but why aren't more muslims brothers and sisters speaking out about the (Israeli's) covert plan to destroy AL-AQSA??? Our most holy mosque is under attack!!!!!!!

This masjid is BEAUTIFUL!! But I do not think it is the 3rd largest, its the 8th largest.

May God grant you and another health and wellness ..

Brother that a mosque is very beautiful and pious design ... either on the grave is near the mosque from the right side .. and not inside the mosque.

جزاك الله ألف خر و أعطاك الصحة والعافية ..

اخي ان مسجد جميل جدا ورعة في التصميم ...اما بشأن القبر فهو قرب المسجد من جهة اليمني ..و ليس بداخل المسجد .

nice beginning...

"al yehuda wo al nasara"

a prayer against the jews and the christens...

islam the religion of peace...?!?!

[888Yappy]

@khalvanodxb The torah is an 'Islamic' holy book. Jews are really muslims :-D they just forgot. This is not jew vs muslim, this is rich vs poor, good vs evil.

[fsxlover]

@khalvanodxb You just jealous.

[mhmay62]

I am sorry to say that by wishing NOTHING happens, just see how far we as Muslims are dependent on non-Muslims, and to realise this you dont have to be a rocket scientist, in the same country where these idiots have spent 500M USD 100s of 1000s worker from Pakistan, India and Bangladesh are treated worst than animals and are paid peanuts.. To me this mosque is utter west of resources, wish they had built some mega engineering factory to produce e.g. cars or any mega produce... but wish is wish

[1bluedutchess]

HOW DARE YOU! The founder of this Mosque is the late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultal Al Nahyan. The father of the UAE whom with his generosity made his people live in luxury after a life of hardship and poverty in the desert. You, a mere ignorant fool who just happened to judge out of envy and jealousy.

[1bluedutchess]

ITS OUR MONEY, WE CHOSE HOW TO SPEND IT AND ON WHAT. As for the Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladesh workers in our country, you have to ask them yourself. They are treated better than they are treated in their own countries from their own people! Look at their countries and all the charity works done from the UAE for your people!!!!

Dear Friend, I didnt have time to see this page, I dont know what you wrote in Arabic, but looking at current situation in Middle East, I am sure that no one has realised yet that development and evolution is not achieved by spending on cement, steal and filling sea with soil (like idiots have done in this region) and see the results where we Muslims are, if they had done like China building industry based on manufacturing. But they were busy filling sea & building STUPIDITY?

[mhmay62]

My friend , I think you got it completely wrong, did you understand what I am trying to say?? yes its your money, but money alone wont provide you living of the sort you are having which is totally dependent on west or non-Muslims, you have huge airlines, can you run them on your own or make any parts let alone aircrafts !! if you can remove your dependency with the wealth of oil till you have..otherwise you will be on the back of camels again, I wish you never face that hardship..

[chabelia64]

...............It beautiful...............

[rWAK9]

Nice building, I wonder what is preached about the West there?

[romanali1]

That it's geographically opposite to East.

Lol, joking. :)

Not everybody hates the West, and in fact many Muslims do live in the West too. Muslims sometimes take objection to certain beliefs, attitudes and practices of the West, but they don't hate the land or the people per se.

[owais77]

This Masjid is beautiful indeed but I wish we can return to the days when Masajid were simpler but they served greater purpose.

[HijabiGirl09]

I wish we could too. May Allah (SWT) bring us back to the Quran and Sunnah...Ameen!

[07826644496]

By building masjids and filling sea with soil and wasting resources give by Allah as they have in Middle east by buying football clubs and hotels and staging events like golf, tennis and so on Muslims will never ever return to that glorious past, fact is todays Muslims are just liability on plant, they cant even feed themselves let alone leading to that glorious past, just walk in any store and find what is sold here and what is produced... we are only good at producing CHILDREN...
