On March 19, a methodologist of the “Museum Street” department of the Bolgar Museum-Reserve L. Sh. Sagirova held an unscheduled event “Ramadan is a month of goodness” at the city mosque, dedicated to the month of Ramadan, for children of Bolgar town.
The children learned that Volga Bulgaria is the cradle of Russian Islam. They listened to information about the journey of the Baghdad embassy and the adoption of Islam by the Volga Bulgars in the 10th century.
As part of the event, the children recited poems and sang nasheeds, which emphasized the value and significance of the month of Ramadan. A thematic discussion was held with the children, during which they learned that it is customary to perform good deeds and give alms during the month of Ramadan, and that fasting during Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam imposed upon us by the Almighty. The children listened to the story “Tell me about Ramadan” and played active and intellectual games.
In conclusion, a warm and heartfelt iftar was held according to Muslim traditions.
