Abrahamic Family House

We went to the Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi, a unique place where three religions come together: Christianity, Judaism and Islam ✝️🕎☪️

The house is named after Abraham, the prophet who is revered in all three languages.

St Francis Church ✝️

Imam Al Tayeb Mosque ☪️

M.b. Maimon Synagogue 🕎

Despite the differences, there are so many similarities and common values.

Foundation

The Abrahamic Family House is funded by the UAE government and was reinforced by the signing of the 'Document on Human Fraternity' by religious representatives on February 4, 2019:

Pope Francis, Head of the Catholic Church;
Dr Ahmed El-Tayeb, Grand Imam of Al Azhar Mosque;
HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, President of the UAE;
HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.

3 places of worship coming together

We visited the three places of worship: Imam Al Tayeb Mosque, St Francis Church and Moses ben Maimon Synagogue.

Despite the differences, there are so many similarities and common values. This house is a powerful platform for creating mutual understanding and acceptance. It is a beautiful, serene and impressive place.
