Dubai's diversified Danube Group opened a new mosque in Dubai Studio City on Friday. Built in a modern, state-of-the-art style, the mosque was inaugurated in the presence of Rizwan Sajan, Founder and Chairman of Danube Group, at a ceremony attended by Government of Dubai officials, residents from many cultures and the media.
A Tribute to Family

Located in Al Hebiah Second near Glitz by Danube in Dubai Studio City, the mosque is named after Rizwan Sajan's late father, Askerali Sajan, and was inaugurated by his mother, Gulbanu Askerali Sajan.
"We all owe a lot to our parents. And this mosque is a small effort to reward our beloved father and mother who have always been a guide and support for us. We request attendees to always remember them in their prayers and pray for my father's soul and good health for my mother," Rizwan Sajan said after the inauguration.
