About Mariam Umm Eisa Masjid
Mariam Umm Eisa Mosque is a mosque in the Al Mushrif area of Abu Dhabi. It was previously known as the Sheikh Mohammad bin Zayed Mosque and was renamed 'Mariam, Umm Eisa', Arabic for 'Mary, the mother of Jesus', by order of Sheikh Mohammad bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The official portal of the UAE government lists the renaming among the country's tolerance initiatives and describes it as a practical application of the principle of tolerance in a country where more than 200 nationalities live together. Mary is a revered figure in Islam, and the name reflects the shared respect for her among Muslims and Christians. The mosque is an active place of worship serving the surrounding residential neighbourhood.
