Feast of Uraza Bayram – Kommersant

Dear Russians, co -religionists, brothers and sisters!

On behalf of the Spiritual Directorate of the Muslims of the Russian Federation and the spiritual departments of the Muslims of our country, I congratulate all their co-religionists-Muslims of Russia, the Commonwealth of Independent States on the upcoming Happy End of the Holy month of Ramadan-Id-al-Fitr, Uraza Bayram. This is a holiday dedicated to the end of the Great Lent prescribed by Allah.

We lived a month that became for us a month of spiritual purification, self -improvement, committing charitable affairs. Our post was devoted to spiritual cleansing, understanding the earthly path, exaltation of thoughts and feelings, and most importantly, strengthening faith. Ramadan is a month of our even more zeal, the desire for mercy, charity, the month of acquiring new knowledge about the blessed religion of monotheism – Islam.

In prayers and posts, towering our spirit on the righteous path, we sought to cleanse ourselves with charitable pious deeds. With inner pride, we summarize the results of the month of Ramadan, which was accompanied by our active charity affairs: providing material support to orphans and sick, single people who need everyone. The zone of our vigilant attention, the active charitable humanitarian work was the needs of our fighters, the defenders of our middle name. We close the ranks in prayers, just as the ranks of our warriors are united and closed, protecting us from attempts to revive Nazism and fascism. We remember and remember those who were before us, in the name of those who replace us. We pray for those who build and protect ours tomorrow.

Separating with close meals of the conversation in the family circle, organizing Ramadan’s tents and participating in large -scale charitable and educational events – everywhere in cities and regions, becoming dense rows, shoulder to shoulder with like -minded people in prayer, we Muslims are full Sincere faith, God -fearing patiently and with dignity.

Tomorrow is a holiday – this is the time with the family, the time of simple human joys, rapprochement with relatives and friends, prayer remembrance of loved ones who are no longer with us.

Patientity and stamina, humanity and virtue are taught by Allah Almighty, his Prophet and Blessed Ramadan. “Whoever made a dust of good at least the weight of the dust will see him. And whoever made an evil dust at least the weight of the dust, he will see him, ”teaches the sacred Qur’an (99: 7-8).

The earthly life of a person is not too long to put off good deeds for later, for our life is a great good and wealth bestowed on us. And we must meaningfully, with our consciousness and our soul, every day to live in the understanding that the time that we have is a great gift of the Almighty Creator. “Strive to get ahead of each other in good deeds! Wherever you are, Allah will collect you all together. There are no boundaries of his power!  » – The sacred Qur’an will command us (2: 148).

Having cleansed, we boldly look forward and make plans for the future, everyday duties await us ahead of us, our work for the good of everyone, for the benefit of our family, our people, our country, for the good of our religion. We enter on a holiday, having completed our post, rallying us and strengthening the spirit that taught the understanding of the essence of patience and humility before the Almighty Allah.

And may our post and all the perfect God -fearing affairs be accepted by Allah Almighty. May all our tireless good prayers and wishes come true! May Allah of the world, mercy, goodwill to us and our families are nourished to us all health and happiness. Happy holiday to you, dear brothers and sisters, dear compatriots, dear friends, neighbors, people of goodwill and intentions! And may there be prosperity, peace and peace in our beloved country – Russia!
