Discussion in Sofia brought together Muslims to meet the three sacred months

Muslims gathered in the capital in order to participate in a discussion, organized by Grand Mufti’s Office on the occasion of the beginning of the three sacred months – Rajab, Shaban and Ramadan. It took place in the Media and Culture Center from 19:00 o’clock on March 19, 2018 (Monday) – the first day of the blessed month of Rajab.

He focused on the ways in which to return to the conscious and understood performance of worshipping, and at the same time to successfully prepare for the Holy Month of Ramadan – “the religious school in which we can increase and strengthen our faith”, as compared the guest-lecturer from Lazhnitsa.

The second lecturer in the discussion Dzhemal Hatip – expert at Publishing Department of Grand Mufti’s Office, entered in details the legal aspects of the matter with regard of the months of Rajab, Shaban and Ramadan.
