Congratulations from the Chairman of the Religios Board of Muslims of Russia, Grand Mufti Sheikh Ravil Gaynutdin, on Russia Day

Dear fellow citizens, brothers and sisters!

On behalf of the Religios Board of Muslims of Russia, the multimillion-strong Muslim community of our country, and myself, I congratulate you on Russia Day!

This day reminds us of the centuries-old history of our Motherland, its tragic and heroic chapters. Today, we proudly remember our great compatriots—statesmen, scientists, theologians, diplomats, military leaders, cultural figures, and all those whose labor and talent contributed to Russia’s glory, enriching its vast intellectual and spiritual heritage. Yet, the greatest treasure of the Russian land is its multiethnic and multireligious people, united by common traditions, values, and the aspiration for peaceful and constructive labor.

Dear compatriots! On this memorable day, I wish us all victory, peace, and prosperity. I offer my heartfelt prayers to the Almighty, asking Him to bless Russia and its peoples, to grant us spiritual unity and mutual understanding.

Grand Mufti Sheikh Ravil Gaynutdin
