Mufti of Moscow Ildar hazrat Alyautdinov met with the famous nasheed performer Maher Zain who is currently on tour in Istanbul during his working trip to the city.

In a private talk, Ildar hazrat and Maher Zain discussed the details of the performer's upcoming visit to Moscow to take part in a festive program "Mawlid an-Nabi" devoted to the blessed birthday of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

The parties reached an agreement that will, God willing, let Russian Muslims delight in the nasheeds of Maher Zain at a highly anticipated event "Mawlid an-Nabi" that will take place on January 25 in Crocus City Hall in Moscow.
