Happy Day of the Official Adoption of Islam by Volga Bulgaria!

21 May 2025, Wednesday

Dear residents of the Republic of Tatarstan!

I congratulate you on the Day of the Official Adoption of Islam by Volga Bulgaria!

This day occupies a special place in the history of our people. More than a thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Tatars made a conscious choice, accepting Islam not under duress, but in the pursuit of justice, knowledge and spiritual maturity. Since then, Islam has become an integral part of our cultural, moral and legal tradition.

Today's holiday is not only a tribute to historical memory, but also a reminder of the richness and depth of the spiritual heritage of Tatarstan. With all my heart I wish you good health, well-being, peace of mind and good deeds!
