[edit] Older Name

when Shiekh Zayed was Alive the official name of the Mosque was "Sheikh Zayed Al Kabeer Mosque), which is after the Grand Father of Shikh Zayed, after the Death of Sheikh Zayed it was decided that to name it after him.

also the beautifull desing is similar to Indian style mosques like the one in Delhi. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ioj (talk • contribs) 11:11, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
