President of Tatarstan congratulated Muslims of republic on Uraza-bairam

Muslims of Tatarstan,

From all my heart I would like to greet on the occasion of Uraza-bairam!

This holiday of breaking the fast bears universal values of good and mercy together with new religious experience and internal harmony. In these blessed days, all Muslims help those in need, orphans, all those suffering from loneliness and sickness. Good noble deeds and actions help make our lives morally purer and brighter.

Tatarstan boasts unique religious traditions that contribute to preservation of our national identity and stronger moral principles of the society and the unity of believers. I am confident that the unique religious and cultural potential of Islam is a solid basis of inter-faith and inter-ethnic agreement, prosperity of our home republic.

May the blessed holiday of Uraza-bairam bring joy and well-being to your homes, warmth of our families inspire us with hope and faith in the future!

I sincerely wish you peace, good and well-being!

Rustam Minnikhanov
President of the Republic of Tatarstan
