Russian Muslims suffer to learn about these tragic events.

Muslims believe that the end of the earthly life in the blessed land of pilgrimage – Hajj – is the way that brings us closer to the Almighty Allah.

We sincerely share the feelings of grief and loss, and pray to God to help the relatives of the victims with courage and wisdom of patience, for as it is stated in the Holy Qur'an: "We all belong to Allah and to Him - our return" (11:156).

We pray for the dead and pray for the health of the injured. May God grant His mercy to the souls of victims, giving them rest, His forgiveness and granting them with the deserved place in the Hereafter.
