It&#8217;s rare to see structures such as a Christian church, a synagogue, a Buddhist temple, and a mosque being situated within the same proximity let alone next to each other. The Abrahamic Family House, on the other hand, houses a Christian church, a synagogue, and a mosque in its &#8216;interfaith complex.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: rm-regular;\">2019 was a significant year for both the Christian and Islamic faiths. Pope Francis, the leader of the Christian faith, paid an official visit to United Arab Emirates and met with Grand Imam Ahmed el-Tayeb, a prominent Sunni Muslim religious leader, where they jointly signed the Document of Human Fraternity, which promotes the peaceful coexistence of people with different religious beliefs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: rm-regular;\">Following the historic signing of the Declaration of Human Fraternity, several projects have been launched. One of them is the Abrahamic Family House, a religious complex that brings together people from different religious faiths: Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, the three most prominent Abrahamic religions that all recognize Abraham as their first prophet and believe in a single God. The architecture firm Adjaye Associates won the design competition and was chosen as the project&#8217;s architect.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_77351\" style=\"width: 1510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-77351\" class=\"wp-image-77351 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/the-abrahamic-family-house-adjaye-associates-interfaith-complex-in-abu-dhabi-opens-to-the-public_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1101\" srcset=\"https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/the-abrahamic-family-house-adjaye-associates-interfaith-complex-in-abu-dhabi-opens-to-the-public_3.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/the-abrahamic-family-house-adjaye-associates-interfaith-complex-in-abu-dhabi-opens-to-the-public_3-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/the-abrahamic-family-house-adjaye-associates-interfaith-complex-in-abu-dhabi-opens-to-the-public_3-1024x752.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/the-abrahamic-family-house-adjaye-associates-interfaith-complex-in-abu-dhabi-opens-to-the-public_3-1000x734.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/art4d.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/the-abrahamic-family-house-adjaye-associates-interfaith-complex-in-abu-dhabi-opens-to-the-public_3-600x440.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-77351\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo courtesy of Adjaye Associates<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: rm-regular;\">Abrahamic Family House is situated on Saadiyat Island, an upscale and culturally significant neighborhood in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
