Eyüp Sultan Mosque

A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.

A beautiful mosque in Istanbul built in honor of the noble companion Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may God be pleased with him), who hosted the Prophet ﷺ in Medina.

The Eyüp Sultan Mosque is situated at the Golden Horn in Istanbul, considered one of the most venerated sanctuaries of the Ottoman realm. Built adjacent to the tomb of the companion Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may God be pleased with him), Ottoman sultans visited it upon their accession to gird the sword of Osman in a solemn ceremony of justice and service.
