Here’s The Mosque In Dubai That’s Called ‘Mary, Mother of Jesus’ Mosque

This mosque in Abu Dhabi ‘Mariam Umm Eisa’ mosque, which translates from Arabic to English as ‘Mary Mother of Jesus’ has really stunned us, reason why we want to put the spotlight on it.
You’ll find the mosque in Al Mushrif in Abu Dhabi and the new name was decided by Abu Dhabi’s Crown Prince H.H.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan “to promote the social connections between the followers of different religions” and highlight Christianity and Islam’s similarities according to the UAE’s official news agency.

Just next door to the renamed mosque you’ll find St Andrew’s Church, an Anglican parish. Remember, ‘Mary, Mother of Jesus’ is actually mentioned and highly revered in the Quran.

“There are people from over 200 nationalities currently living in the UAE, who enjoy security, peace and co-existence, as our holy religion urges us to follow justice, respect others and co-operate in giving with other people,” explained the Chairman of the General Authority of Islamic Affairs, Dr Mohammed Matar Al Kaabi.

This is definitely refreshing and a step in the right direction.
