A MOSQUE NAMED AFTER MARY


Hello readers, the Mosque you see is called "MARY, MOTHER OF JESUS MOSQUE"
Are you surprised? I am too but not too surprised.

Mary, Mother of Jesus Mosque also called Mariam Umm Eisa Masjid is a mosque located in Al Mushrif, a central neighborhood in the city of Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates. It was built in 1989 as Mohammed Bin Zayed Mosque, and named after Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi. On 14 June 2017 Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan decided to rename the mosque to "Mary, Mother of Jesus Mosque". The change was done as an initiative exemplifying the values of co-existence among religions in the UAE.

Later on, a Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together as a joint statement was signed by Pope Francis of the Catholic Church and Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, on 4th February 2019 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. That document is global friendship pack among religions. 

My dear the world is gradually coming to an end, what coexistence could exist between Christianity and Islam? Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Muslims or condemn them because God loves them but He's desire is for them to come to the knowledge of Christ and not remain in their sinful nature yet coexisting with Christians.
"Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14 NIV).
