The President of Turkmenistan and the National Leader of the Turkmen People, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Hero-Arkadag Gave an Iftar (Agzachar) Donation

Yesterday, in the "Halk hakydasy" (People's Memory) memorial complex located in a beautiful part of the capital, Haji Arkadag and Arkadagly Haji Serdar gave an agzachar donation. It was attended by the Mufti of the country, imams from all provinces, the cities of Ashgabat and Arkadag, honored elders, respected mothers, and many young people. This event complemented the charitable deeds performed on the eve of the holy Night of Power (Gadyr Gijesi) during the blessed month of Ramadan (Oraza).

As is known, Hero-Arkadag recently noted that it would be appropriate to hold an agzachar donation on the eve of the holy Night of Power of Ramadan, with the participation of honored elders, respected mothers, provincial imams, religious representatives, and the youth. As the National Leader emphasized, this is a clear symbol of respect for the noble traditions created by our ancestors throughout history. In this regard, Haji Arkadag and Arkadagly Haji Serdar jointly gave an agzachar donation at the "Halk hakydasy" memorial complex.

President Serdar Berdimuhamedov and the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, arrived at the place where the donation was being given in honor of the Night of Power. This event increases the merit of the holy month and is a vivid manifestation of the fact that these sacred days are enriched with good traditions.

The Turkmen people treat the month of Ramadan with special respect, considering it sacred since ancient times. Every day of this holy month, during which noble deeds and humanitarian principles are practiced, is filled with merit. In accordance with good traditions passing through centuries, agzachar donations are given in cities and villages. National dishes are prepared, and prayers are offered for the prosperity of the country and the happy life of the people.

Throughout history, our wise ancestors formed a rich cultural heritage, national values, and wonderful traditions. Special respect is given to the month of Ramadan and the Night of Power, recognized as the blessed night of charity. That day was considered a night of miracles. The donation given by the President and Hero-Arkadag on the eve of the Night of Power became another clear example of the continuation of centuries-old traditions in harmony with the spirit of the modern era.

The noble deeds carried out during the holy month of Ramadan, especially on the eve of the blessed Night of Power, once again reveal our people's commitment to humanitarian principles. In this month, as in the entire Islamic world, charitable works are performed in our country. Giving agzachar donations during the month of Ramadan is a noble tradition.

...Addressing the participants of the donation, Haji Arkadag emphasized that in our independent Motherland, all conditions have been created for observing national traditions, and citizens visit holy places and mosques to pray. He noted that today, following the ancient noble tradition of the people, they gathered for the agzachar donation in the month of Ramadan. "As you know, tomorrow is the holy Night of Power. The Turkmen people are a people with God in their hearts. The values of the Islamic religion are closely linked to our long-standing Turkmen traditions. Giving an agzachar donation in the holy month of Ramadan is one of the noble and meritorious deeds," Haji Arkadag said, praying that the fasts and good prayers offered in the month of Ramadan be accepted by the Almighty.

After the National Leader finished his speech, the Mufti of Turkmenistan recited a blessing. He prayed for the acceptance of the donation given by Haji Arkadag and Arkadagly Haji Serdar by the Almighty. After the blessing, various dishes were served to the participants. This was a clear manifestation of the fact that national traditions, originating from the depths of centuries and connecting eras and generations, are being continued today.

Strengthening the spiritual health of society, striving for moral perfection, respecting the historical and cultural heritage, and developing the traditions of our ancestors in accordance with the spirit of the modern era are among the priorities of the socially-oriented state policy of the honorable President. Our ancestors considered Ramadan the best of months and the Night of Power the sovereign of nights. It was welcomed in unity, with good intentions and the best hopes and dreams. In the current period, importance is given to the development of these principles at the state level.

At present, great attention is paid to strengthening unity and solidarity in society. The great works carried out through the efforts of the honorable President and Hero-Arkadag are aimed at enriching the humanitarian traditions of the people with new content.

...After tasting various dishes at the donation, the Mufti of Turkmenistan recited a prayer.

Haji Arkadag thanked everyone for participating and wished that the prayers and recitations offered for the people to always live in a prosperous life be accepted by the Almighty.

The agzachar donation given by Haji Arkadag and Arkadagly Haji Serdar at the "Halk hakydasy" memorial complex became another clear symbol of the worthy continuation of the noble principles of our ancestors and the ensuring of the unbreakable connection of generations for the benefit of the happy future of the people.
