‘’The Muslim culture is contributing to the building of Russia’ wonderful future"

A grand opening of Tent of Ramadan, which coincided with the beginning of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, was held on Poklonnaya Hill in Moscow. The deputy chairman of the Council of Muftis of Russia, the imam-khatib of the Moscow Memorial Mosque, Islamic scholar and preacher, Shamil Alyautdinov, spoke at the opening ceremony.

According to Shamil Alyautdinov, there is  a large number of Muslim population in the Caucasus, it is no coincidence that there is ‘a lot of energy in every person’ in the region.  The imam explains a big charge of the internal power, for example, with a fact that there are so many champions in various martial arts, where one person, one power is needed, in the Caucasus."

Alyautdinov sure that Islam gives a man the courage that is needed for the internal development and self-improvement: ‘’There is a huge number of Muslims in different countries, on different continents. There are 20 million Muslims in Russia. They are  very powerful, brave individuals who need to use spirituality, spiritual strength, the strength of intelligence to show the people of other nationalities and religions the force of the Islam faith, of their nationality and the general Muslim culture. A variety of forms of creativity, culture, science and sport is a great force. " The theologian said that by developing of the Muslim culture, "we bring in our every day lives, eternal, and the bright future of our country."

Shamil Alyautdinov called on all Muslims to remember that ‘Russia  is the greatest country in the world.’ ‘There are huge reserves in our land. Today we live in a very rich powerful and strong state of the world,’’ the imam said. He called on every citizen to think about his future, to take care of the preservation of our natural wealth, to take care about our children: "We have a very rich country, but we need moral, strong, courageous people who are able to make this country more prosperous’’.
