An educational Caravan “Muhammad is Mercy to the worlds”, started on January 12, 2014, has come to its accomplishment.

Everyone can find good example in his high morals and actions.

The Caravan started its trim at the most Eastern mosque of Donbass, situated in the town of Sverdlovsk, Luhansk region. More than 50 believers came to listen to the scholars, namely Mufti of RAMU “Umma” Mr. Said Ismagilov and more than 80 year-old local Imam Mr. Sharif Jan.
