These days Turkmenistan is celebrating Kurban bairamy – the bright holiday that is sacred to all Muslims all over the world. The Turkmen leader Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov gave kurbanlyk sadaqah at the Turkmenbashi Mosque of Spirituality in Gypjak on the first day of the blessed holiday.
The Turkmen leader paid tribute to the memory of the first President of Turkmenistan and laid a wreath at the mausoleum. The ceremony participants, including the Chairperson of Mejlis, cabinet ministers, high-ranking military and law enforcement officials, hyakims of the regions and Ashgabat, heads of diplomatic missions accredited to Turkmenistan, representatives of public organisations, foreign businessmen, mullahs, the elders and local citizens laid their bouquets of flowers. The memorial prayer was offered up under the domes of the mausoleum.
The memorial prayer was offered up at the family tomb of the first President of Turkmenistan and his family.
Cordially greeting all those, who had gathered together in the building to participate in sadaqah, the President noted that festive namaz was being performed and sadaqahs were being given in honour of blessed Kurban bairamy at the mosques throughout the country on that day, when the prayers for the prosperity of our motherland and the unity and wellbeing of the Turkmen people were being offered up in accordance with the age-old traditions of our ancestors. The Turkmen leader addressed those present, saying: “May the Almighty accept all prayers offered up and all sadaqahs given! Kabul bolsun!”
The Turkmen leader said that we attached great importance to the preservation and development of national traditions and customs, in accordance with which Kurban bairamy was celebrated at the national level in our country each year.
