It is named after Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Ruler of Abu Dhabi and President of the United Arab Emirates from November 2004 until his death in May 2022.[1][3]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsHistory[edit]Structure[edit]Dome[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]History[edit]Construction of the mosque was awarded to Arabian Construction Company for AED 600 million.[9] It started in December 2013,[1] and was initially scheduled for completion in 2016.[3] Formerly, the biggest mosque in use in the city was that of Shaikhah Salamah,[10] mother of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the father of Sheikh Khalifa.[11]Nearby, a 1000-year-old mosque dated to the Islamic Golden Age, besides other remains relevant to the region’s history, was unearthed in September 2018. Its age may make it the oldest mosque in the country.[12][13]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4After opening in 2021, Sheikh Tahnoun bin Mohammed Al Nahyan, the Ruler’s Representative in the Region of Al-Ain, offered prayers on 13 May.[7][8]Structure[edit]The built-up area of the mosque is meant to occupy an area of 15,684\u00a0m2 (168,820\u00a0sq\u00a0ft), with the total area of the mosque being 256,680\u00a0m2 (2,762,900\u00a0sq\u00a0ft).[14] With an indoor capacity of 6,433 worshippers, and outdoor capacity of 14,029, its total capacity would be over 20,000. It has 4 minarets which are meant to measure about 60\u00a0m (200\u00a0ft) high.[1] The 4 minarets, each measuring 60\u00a0m (200\u00a0ft) high, are inspired by the Great Mosque of Samarra. Additionally, there is an arcade which connects the various parts of the mosque and rims the yard with an area of 7,660\u00a0m2 (82,500\u00a0sq\u00a0ft), which was inspired by Andalusian and Umayyad architecture.[14]Dome[edit]The main feature of the mosque is a huge dome, the largest of its kind in the country,[14] covering the main prayer-hall.[3] The dome is expected to have an interior height of 31.3\u00a0m (103\u00a0ft), interior diameter of 75\u00a0m (246\u00a0ft), exterior diameter of 86\u00a0m (282\u00a0ft),[1] and total area of 4,117\u00a0m2 (44,320\u00a0sq\u00a0ft). The dome, the largest of its kind in the country, is adorned with verses from the Quran.[14]See also[edit]References[edit]^ a b c d e Abdul Kader, B.
