Ramadan has begun in Moscow this year amid snow and sub-zero temperatures. The number of worshippers has increased significantly. The Muslim community in the capital is taking part in a wide range of religious and social activities. The highlight of Ramadan in Russia is the fusion of religious traditions and local Muslim culture. The presence of Muslims from Central Asia, Arab countries and other countries of the world makes the experience even more diverse.

In particular, in the past few years, Muslims have been coming together not only for iftar or prayers, but also for various religious and social events, which is increasing the sense of unity and tolerance within society.

Another initiative in Moscow this Ramadan that has received widespread praise is the ‘Blessed Bag’. The initiative was widely disseminated to provide assistance to the poor and received an incredible response. Minimatov said that this is a spiritual and humanitarian aspect of Ramadan. Ramadan is a time when charity, almsgiving and helping the poor are most effective. The initiative, known as the ‘Blessed Bag’, has become a way for people to achieve peace, comfort and peace of mind.

In recent years, during Ramadan, Moscow Muslims have shown a growing interest in religious matters, especially in detailed questions about fasting, and various initiatives have been launched on online portals and social media.
