UAE: Abrahamic Family House opens with synagogue, mosque and church

 The UAE Capital now boasts an interfaith campus with a mosque, church, and synagogue. The complex, known as Abrahamic Family Home, was opened on Thursday.

The community will be able to tour the compound starting at 10 am on March 1. Both locals and guests will need to make reservations before coming.

His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, said on Twitter that the nation has a "glorious tradition" of people from many cultures coming together to forge new possibilities.

He continued, "We remain dedicated to using the strength of mutual respect, understanding, and diversity to achieve shared progress as the Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi is opened.”

A complex is a place to "practise faith and contemplate," where people can "discover and exchange information," according to its official social media account. It serves as a "platform for connecting people."

The three prominent sites of worship that the government had previously disclosed are Imam Al Tayeb Mosque, St. Francis Church, and Moses Ben Maimon Synagogue.

The three sites of worship have the names of Moses Ben Maimon, a 12th-century Jewish philosopher, Pope Francis, and Dr Ahmed Al Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al Azhar.

The building includes a cultural centre designed to inspire people to demonstrate human unity and brotherhood. It aspires to create a community that upholds the principles of respect for one another and peaceful coexistence while preserving the distinctive characteristics of each faith.

Islamic, Christian, and Jewish values are all reflected in the project's design. The complex narrates the history and creates links between divine messages and human civilizations.

Sheikh Mohamed stated on Twitter that "the UAE has a strong tradition of people from many communities working together to generate new opportunities."

"We remain dedicated to leveraging the power of mutual tolerance, understanding, and diversity to promote shared progress," the statement reads as the Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi is officially opened.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Israel will “take control of all” of the Gaza Strip, signaling an unprecedented escalation in the ongoing conflict. In a video posted to Telegram, Netanyahu emphasized that military operations are advancing rapidly, with no intention of backing down. “The fighting is intense, and we are making progress,” he said, framing the offensive as necessary for Israel’s long-term security. But as international pressure mounts, his government is walking a tightrope between military dominance and global condemnation. The Israeli military has ordered mass evacuations in southern Gaza, warning residents of Khan Yunis and surrounding areas to flee immediately ahead of a devastating assault.
