The Mayor of Kazan congratulated the Muslims of Kazan on the holiday of Eid al-Adha.

(KZN.RU, August 11). Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan, congratulated residents of the capital of Tatarstan on the holiday of Eid al-Adha.

“Dear Kazan citizens!

With all my heart, I congratulate you on the holy holiday of Eid al-Adha!

This holiday, marking the completion of the Muslim pilgrimage to ancient shrines, is an integral part of the rich heritage of our people and recalls the true moral values of Islam.

Like many centuries ago, Eid al-Adha calls for mercy and mutual respect. Trying to follow the Quran and performing the prescribed ceremonies, we carefully preserve the customs and traditions of this holiday and pass them from generation to generation. Each of us contributes to the strengthening of good neighborliness and friendship between peoples living in the multinational and multiconfessional capital of the RT.

I believe that the Muslims of our city set an example to others on humanity and moral purity. They will continue to sacredly honor the values of Islam and strive to ensure that Kazan, developing and prosperous, remains a city of peace and harmony.

Let this bright holiday bring warmth and joy, prosperity and mutual understanding to your homes and families!” said the greeting.
