(KZN.RU, August 4, by Ekaterina Andreeva) More and more young people in Kazan are drawn to faith, and this is a good trend because religious people are incapable of evil deeds. This opinion was expressed by Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin during his online conference
A city resident Gulgena Gilmanova asked whether the Mayor of Kazan held Uraza (Ramadan). The mayor said that he had held Uraza for many years. “Both my wife and my eldest son fast. This year we are pleased that our 13 year-old daughter has also taken the first step. "
It will be remembered that the Muslim fast began August 1.
The mayor noted that young believers in Kazan are growing in number. "This is very good. Religious people can do no evil,” believes Ilsur Metshin. In his words, there are many members on his team who observe religious traditions.
"I would very much like Kazan to be not only the sports capital of Russia but also to become its spiritual capital,” emphasized Ilsur Metshin. “Peace and inter-ethnic harmony is the main symbol of our city.” The Mayor suggested that those who do not fast yet at least take the first step towards spiritual purification and fast a few days.
