Islamic centers

Over 15 years of existence, Alraid could open eight Islamic cultural centers in the cities of Kyiv, Sumy, Lviv, Odesa, Vinnytsa, Zaporozhia and Kharkiv. The centers have prayer rooms and conference halls, internet clubs, sport training halls and sport grounds, libraries with fully accessible literature about Islam and cultures of Muslim countries. Whoever is concerned with Arabic language and Islamic culture can attend Sunday schools.

Islamic cultural centers have their own regional social organisations associated with Alraid, which organise various actions for men, women, teenagers and children.

Frequent guests to multiple events of Alraid, held in Islamic centers, are leaders of regional Muslim communities from Ukraine and New Independent States, embassy staff, political, scientific and cultural elite, students from university departments of religious, oriental and Arabic studies, and faithful people of various confessions. The above confirms broad recognition of the centers’ important role in the cultural dialog between West and East.
