Exam Week Is No Barrier For Mawlid

More than 60 young men and ladies attended a cultural event, facilitated by the Youth Social Organisation “Emel” coinciding with the month of Prophet Muhammad’s (peace and blessings be upon him) birth. It was postponed until February in order to let the youth relax and not think about the exams during the meeting.

The evening traditionally began with reciting the Qur’an (performed by hafidh Suleiman Aliev), followed by a varied programme.

The participants watched a short film where prominent journalists, scientists and sportsmen shared their impressions on the great personality of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him. All these people, popular among the youth,  spoke about how impressed they were by the Prophet’s high morals and leadership.

Head of “Emel”? Mr. Muslim Dervishev, stressed the importance of studying the Prophet’s biography for each of his followers; even God Almighty calls for this in the Holy Qur’an: “verily, the Messenger of Allah is the best example for you.”

Mr. Rustem Mametov, a Merited Artist of Crimea, performed some Crimean Tatar religious songs “ilyahiler”, setting a tone for the following discussion of different stories from Muhammad’s (peace and blessings be upon him) life over tea and sweets.
