Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque is located in Abu Dhabi, the capital city of the United Arab Emirates. It was initiated by the late President of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), HH Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and his final resting place is located on the grounds. The mosque is the key place of worship for Friday gathering and Eid prayers.
We (my father & I) had al Juma'a prayer on 15th March 2013 there and the speach (Al khutba) was instersting, it talked about the parenting and the benefits that come out from inculating good qualities in your children.
"The mosque is large enough to accommodate over 40,000 worshipers. The main prayer hall can accommodate over 7,000 worshipers. There are two smaller prayer halls, with a 1,500-capacity each, one of which is the female prayer hall" [1].
