On Sunday, July 26, 2020 Social Department of Grand Mufti’s Office together with Regional Mufti’s Office – Smolyan, held a workshop on “Family life – Grace and Responsibility. How to Create the Successful Family?” The workshop was held in the village of Varbina, Madan region, and was attended by 70 young women and men.

The aim of the workshop was to focus on the importance of family not only in Islam, but in human life in general, to highlight the benefits and the blessing which the family life brings with itself. In the framework of the four panels of the workshop the guest-speaker Birali Myumyun – Deputy Grand Mufti of Bulgaria, explained what are the factors that determine the successful family, what does it mean to prepare for family life, to have a clear built profile of the person with whom it is supposed to continue the rest of his/her life, etc.

From the delivered lectures it was concluded that creating a family should be an aim for every young man and woman so that our society can be strong and prosperous. Creating a family is an important issue that should be addressed with joint efforts. And this is a challenge not only for the young people from the Muslim community, but also for our society in general.

The participants who actively joined the held discussions, expressed their satisfaction with the fact that they have participated in such a workshop, addressing current topics and issues, related to marriage and family life.

The Regional Mufti of Smolyan Nedzhmi Dabov thanked the guest speaker Birali Myumyun for the commitment, for the comprehensive lectures and for their content. He expressed his gratitude also to all participants for joining the event, as well as to the team of the regional mufti’s office in Smolyan for their efforts in the organization and implementation of this forum.
