"Hamburg concluded a “historic” accord with its Muslim communities on Tuesday becoming the first German state to recognise certain Islamic holidays as days off," an article published by the Nation reads.
"As well as handing them the right to take off some religious holidays, it allows the communities to take part in developing religious teaching in schools and the future employment of Muslim religious studies’ teachers," the article reads.
"Muslims for their part undertake to respect fundamental rights and support equality between the sexes," the author notes.
