The deputy head of the spiritual council of Muslims of Russia, the mufti of the Moscow region, Roshan Abbasov, announced that the number of worshipers in Eid al-Fitr prayers in Moscow is expected to reach 200,000.
“The Moscow government estimates that approximately 150,000-200,000 will attend Eid al-Fitr prayers on Wednesday morning, the first day of Eid, and in other parts of the capital and its suburbs the total number of Muslims will reach about 100,000,” Abbasov said.
He pointed out that about 50 additional sites have been equipped to meet the needs of prayer because it is expected that the increasing number will reach about 200,000 worshipers.
Abbasov explained that a live broadcast of Eid al-Fitr prayers will be organized for people who cannot attend mosques, while calling on Muslims to maintain order in mosques and abide by the instructions of the security authorities to ensure security and safety.
Staff and students in some Islamic republic’s such as Bashkiria, Tatarstan, Adygea, Chechnya and Kabardino-Balkaria will receive a public holiday on Eid al-Fitr.
More than 15 million people convert to Islam in Russia, the bulk of whom live in diverse regions of Russia, and as Islam continues to grow in Russia over the past few years, new mosques are being built and the educational, social, and cultural activities of Muslims in the country are expanded, reflecting a positive development in Russia’s Muslim community.
