On April 28, the library of the Bolgar Islamic Academy hosted the event “Volga Bulgaria: the history of study and preservation” with the participation of a methodologist of the “Museum Street” department of the Bolgar Museum-Reserve Sagirova L. Sh.
Students and teachers delved into the depths of history, exploring the rich heritage and unique culture of the Volga Bulgars. The topic of Islam in Volga Bulgaria and the Golden Horde was particularly captivating. The arrival of the Baghdad embassy was a significant event that left an indelible mark on history. They brought with them not only profound religious doctrines, but also advanced legal systems, innovative architectural solutions that shaped the appearance of cities, and cultural norms that enriched local traditions. It is important to emphasize the peaceful nature of the spread of Islam. This religion was introduced to new lands not through violence, but through the power of persuasion. This approach contributed to the harmonious coexistence of the new faith with the existing pagan traditions, primarily Tengrianism. After carefully listening to the presentation, the audience actively asked questions on the topic.
21 people attended the event.
