Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque (Eid-Al-Adha Greetings) Poem by Bernedita Rosinha Pinto

The Grand Mosque - a magnificent and everlasting tribute to Allah,
the Grand Mosque - a place so avid of sanctity and devotion.

The Grand Mosque - a place so assuring of serenity and piousness,
the Grand Mosque - a place which invokes reverence to Allah so ardently.

The Grand Mosque - a place which evokes dedication to Allah so vividly,
the Grand Mosque - a place where every calligraphy speaks of blessedness.

The Grand Mosque - where every angle of magnificence enhances holiness,
the Grand Mosque - where loyalty and faith shines with glory of faithfulness.

The Grand Mosque - where religious devoutness spins in every direction,
the Grand Mosque - where prayer halls resonate with prayers of fatiha and suras.

The Grand Mosque - where Muslims gather during Ramadan to depict their fraternity,
the Grand Mosque - where Eid festivities are celebrations of brotherhood and unity.

The Grand Mosque - where endurance of faith speaks of humbleness so adhering,
the Grand Mosque - where generations pray with the same language for centuries.

The Grand Mosque - where feelings of compassion get re-kindled and rejuvenated,
the Grand Mosque - where one feels empowered and blessed in that majestic place of prayer.

The Grand Mosque - where praised be Sheikh Zayed for this magnificent mosque,
the Grand Mosque - where praised be that ground which brings faithfuls together for prayers.

The Grand Mosque - where praised be the king who has left this legacy of mosque for his people,
the Grand Mosque - where future generations will forever revere Allah and celebrate Eids.
