Dear mumins!
I congratulate everyone in all sincerity on the Holy holiday of the entire Muslim Ummah Kurban ait! May the Kurban ait will be blessed! I wish that peace and sunniness will descend into your life in these blessed days and remain with you forever.
Kurban ait is the greatest holiday in Islam. On this significant day, the mumins perform a sacrifice for the sake of the Allah's contentment, provide charitable assistance to all those in need, and show the best example of obedience to the instructions of the Almighty Creator.
For many centuries, Islam has been the spiritual support of our people, so the holiday of Kurban ait is held with special preparation.
The word "Kurban" means "approaching", "being closer". This holiday represents the true intention in worship and obedience to Allah Almighty. And this is the essence of true worship and humility. The Holy Qur'an says :" Neither their meat nor their blood reaches Allah. Only your fear reaches Him" (Sura Hajj, 37-ayat). As can be seen from this ayat, a mumin should perform this worship with pure thought and intent.

Every mumin who has a material opportunity is obliged to sacrifice an animal. Muslims who do not have the material means to sacrifice do not perform this rite. During the holidays of ait, it is desirable to perform good deeds, help those in need, and pay attention to the elderly and low-income families.
