Sheikh Zayed Mosque

Today we went to the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi and this place is amazing. It was built to honor Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan al Nahyan (the founder of the UAE) by his sons when he died. It houses the world's largest carpet and the world's largest chandeliers! Most mosques in Abu Dhabi are closed to non-Muslims, but this one has been opened to everyone to promote religious tolerance, which is a great thing.

I was so humbled to visit this mosque because, firstly, it was a beautiful building and an awesome sight. Secondly, it was a wonderful opportunity to see a mosque. I had never done that before and I learned so much from the experience. Despite the crowds, it was a very holy place and it is so much better to learn about other cultures than simply to exist in a world of blind prejudice and ignorance.

Thirdly, it was amazing how so many people knew me. It was so cool. I was blown away by all the nationalities, and I love Abu Dhabi for being such a multinational country. It was also so cool for me to spread love and bring joy to all the people I met today. I am so lucky to be able to do that and truly blessed. I hope we all learn that it is love that brings us all together and can really make the world a better place.

Comment by Anastasia on February 27, 2009 at 8:56am: Wow! David, thank you so much for your videos! I just enjoy watching! It's always great to see you and that's my opportunity to see a bit of Abu Dhabi. Although I do communicate with people from Arabic countries every week. :) They study math and I help them with it. Very nice people. And you know what is the most funny? They all do like russian girls. ha ha )))))))

I never was in a mosque. That's really very beautiful. And I understand your feelings, because I was very impressed visiting basilicas at the first time. That's very interesting and you really feel that special atmosphere, I think, in every temple. There is only one God, and it does not matter how people call Him, or where they pray.

Very beautiful, David. Thank you, one more time!
