President Tshisekedi, who was accompanied by senior Congolese officials, commenced his tour by visiting the tomb of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and recalled the Founding Father’s qualities and wise approach that enriched the culture of tolerance and peaceful coexistence among various nations of the world.
Accompanied by Dr. Yousif Al Obaidli, Director-General of SZGM, President Tshisekedi toured the mosque and was briefed by one of the Centre’s cultural tour specialists about the history, components, and esthetic features of Islamic art and architecture.
The guests were also briefed on the mosque’s noble message that promotes coexistence, tolerance, openness to other cultures, and Islam’s true essence.
At the end of the visit, the guest was presented with two of the Centre’s distinctive publications. A copy of "Spaces of Light" showcasing the winning photographs in the "Spaces of Light" photography award, annually organised by the Centre in celebration of the mosque’s scenic aesthetics and visual culture, and another book on worship places across Islamic history.
