The tweet reads, "Official Welcoming Ceremony for the Bolivarian President of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro Moros."
"The Prophet Muhammad transcended eternity to transform himself into the deep faith and the supreme values of the fraternity that characterize the Muslim community around the world. May Muhammad continue to illuminate its paths," Maduro tweeted.
