Deputy Chairman of the Council of Muftis of Russia: “Witnessing a thousand-year-old tradition is a great event”
Deputy Chairman of the Council of Muftis of Russia and Rector of the Moscow Islamic Institute, Damir Mukhetdinov, highly praised the establishment of the Center for Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan, which harmoniously combines spirituality and knowledge. Indeed, one of the most precious treasures of the Center’s museum is undoubtedly the Qur’an Hall, where the Kaaba covering (kiswah), presented to Uzbekistan by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia last summer, and the famous Uthman Qur’an are displayed. According to Damir Mukhetdinov, visiting such a sacred place spiritually prepares a person for the pilgrimage to the House of Allah, the Kaaba.
