(Clerical Board of Ukraine's Muslims)

Airbender131090 08.09.14 в 14:19

My name is Sofia, and I am working in the mosque. I give knowledge to those who wish for it.

Today in Ukrainian schools a survey was done among teachers

Airbender131090 08.09.14 в 14:22

and students. Teachers asked children aged 6-15 years old
the question about God,

Airbender131090 08.09.14 в 14:22

the soul, why they came into this world, and what is the meaning of life?
Young children

Airbender131090 08.09.14 в 14:23

answered these questions easily, without hesitation
and said that they came into this world to become

Airbender131090 08.09.14 в 14:23

better, some kids said that they came to become angels

Airbender131090 08.09.14 в 14:23

The older children become, the more embarrassed they get
to talk about God and the soul,

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:08

they did not want to talk about it. Do you know anything about it, and what would you advise to do

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:09

to increase the spirituality of children?
- Our children get knowledge before puberty

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:10

and they have the correct beliefs about the existence of God,
they know

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:11

what sin is, what a good deed is, and they probably have no such questions,

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:12

but I'm speaking of Muslim children
who are brought up in the Muslim families.

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:13

The duty of parents is to give them the necessary religious knowledge
before they come of age.

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:13

- And if we speak about the society as a whole, maybe you have some tasks

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:14

that you accomplish and set before yourself and do,
and which you can share

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:16

as an example for other people, to increase spirituality.

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:16

- There is only one way, to give people the right knowledge, the right beliefs

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:17

of the existence of God, to give them the opportunity to acquire knowledge
and when a person gets

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:18

knowledge, he knows what the truth is and he acts in line with the Gods commandments

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:19

that is, he avoids what is wrong, avoids sin, trying to do more good deeds

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:20

because in the end person dies, and will be responsible for his actions,

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:21

for the acts he committed in life.
That is why our children know that for a good deed

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:22

they will get good and for bad, they will answer,
because of that,they are trying to behave as God commanded.

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:23

Can you tell us please, how many young people including couples

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:24

attend your temple?
- Parents with children сome here, simple people come just to find out

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:26

about Islam, to meet, spend time together,
so it can be different sometimes.

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:27

- Can you tell us please, maybe at the mosque you have some different programs

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:28

for Kids. Maybe some camps, some special summer camps where children can

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:29

study and learn?
- Yes, we have a special program for children, we have carrie out

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:30

children's festivals and also lessons for children, different excursions

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:30

we also have a children's camp in Kiev,and in other regions, so the children can

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:31

easily go to another places, closer to the sea, relax and spend time with benefits for them.

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:32

-Can you tell us please the people who come to the temple,
of what do they usualy pray or ask

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:33

to pray to God for?
-Usually, people ask God of health

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:34

and gave sufficient means of existence, as well as asking what each

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:34

desiers.
Well, mainly health, to have means of subsistence

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:36

and also for the peace and tranquility in Ukraine.

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:36

- Can you tell us please, how many people are asking about the salvation of the soul?

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:37

- People who get knowledge, they know how to save themselves,
so the person know that if he

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:37

did something , he can repent of his sins, and he knows how to do it,

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:38

To save the soul there must be correct belief in the existence of God,
and to avoid

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:39

what God has forbidden and to do what God commanded.

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:39

- Can you tell us please, what is the true meaning of life?

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:39

- The meaning of our life is to live with dignity, to fulfill what God

Airbender131090 09.09.14 в 09:40

commanded, and leave this life with peace.
