“Five motivational points” – third discussion meeting between the three religious schools in Bulgaria

“Five motivational points” – this was the topic of the third discussion meeting between the religious schools in our country. It took place at religious School “Mirza Said Pasha” in the city of Ruse on February 9, 2019. It was attended by students from the three religious schools – RS – Momchilgrad, RS “Nyuvvab” in the city of Shumen and RS “Mirza Said Pasha” – Ruse.

During the discussion, a moderator of which was the Deputy Grand Mufti Birali Birali the five points for motivation were discussed. They are family, school, mosque, living environment and unique personal motivation. These five factors are the most important in the life of the Muslim youth. Because the first factor – family, is a very important for the motivation of the child in the family. It addresses how parents can be also friends of their children, how it is not correct to make them do things which they did not have the opportunity to do in the past or which they failed to achieve in their life.

Exactly this is also related to school – the child to make the choice and not the parent to choose instead of it. Or even to decide that it has to be according to the interest of his child. What connects the abovementioned factors is mosque. There one can be in safe hands because he can be with himself and to know that there is Someone Who knows him better than himself. And the most important in this is the gratitude to the Almighty Allah for whatever, wherever and whenever He has given us. There is no doubt that everything is for good. But does the environment which we are living in lead us to good or to demotivation? Is it a hamper or an incentive for raising us higher?    

All ofthese four points lead us to the last one – the unique personal motivation of man.

Within the discussion the moderator Birali Birali gave the participants the opportunity to present visually by drawing these five points because it is normal that not everyone can express himself through speech. 

After the end of the discussion meeting the students visited Regional Mufti’s Office – Ruse, and the hosts had organized a lunch outside the city and a walk along the Danube.

On behalf of the entire discussion club I express our gratitude to the Director of RS “Mirza Said Pasha” and to the Regional Mufti of the city of Ruse Yudzhel Hyusnyu. We also express special gratitude to the Educational Department and “Media and Culture” Department of Grand Mufti’s Office in the Republic of Bulgaria for the organized third discussion meeting.
