Fervor of "Mawlid al-Nabi"* in Russia

Prophet Muhammad (saas) is being memorialized in every city.

Ravil Gaynuddin, President of the Russian Council of Muftis emphasized that the holy birth of the Prophet Mohammed (saas) was celebrated in Russia with a great fervor and said: “The holy birth of the Prophet Muhammed (saas) was celebrated in an atmosphere of festival throughout the Muslim Republics of Russia like Chechnya, Tatarstan, Bashkortostan and Daghestan. Especially, Ramzan Kadyrov, the president of Chechnya has contributed a lot in this organization. The holy birth celebrations do not only take place in Moscow anymore, it also takes place in other cities of Russia in the most enthusiastic manner.  We, as Russian Council of Muftis, are sending teams in charge to various cities and regions of the country. For example we have organized a nice ceremony to celebrate the holy birth in Saratov City. Our main aim is to contribute a lot in order to increase the brotherhood, mutual understanding, love and unity within the Russian community which is indeed multi-national and consists of people of multiple religions.
