Mufti Dudic calls on Muslim believers to pray for peace

NOVI PAZAR - President of the Meshihat of the Islamic Community in Serbia Mufti Mevlud Dudic said that the Muslim holiday of Ramadan Bayram represents an opportunity to pray for the suffering Muslim people, especially in Gaza, and call for genuine peace among all peoples.

Mufti Dudic said in his note that this Ramadan will be remembered for the long days marked by 18-hour fasting, mosques full at prayer time and a large number of the young among the mosque-goers, but it will also be remembered for the unprecedented suffering of the Muslims in Palestine, incineration of a living 16-year-old boy Mohammed in full sight of everyone, especially Muslims, for slaughters of children and entire families just because of their Islamic confession.

Bayram is a chance to show exceptional love for our parents, children, loved ones, neighbours and all people, the mufti said in his note, adding that Muslims are praying to Allah to help the suffering Muslim people, especially in Gaza, and to instil genuine peace among all peoples.

Holiday notes to Muslim believers were previously delivered by Reis ul Ulema of the Islamic Community of Serbia Adem Zilkic, Bosniak politicians and political parties and organisations that gather Bosniaks.
