Community Oriented Toward Prosperity
The meeting between the imams and the religious leader was held at the Afnane mosque in the city of Differdange. During this meeting, important themes and events concerning Muslims in Luxembourg were discussed, in the presence of the religious leader Hafiz Hilmija Redžić.
Futsal Tournament
This Sunday, September 29, 2024, a futsal tournament will take place in Echternach, organized by the Shoura – the Assembly of the Muslim Community of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. These sporting events are of invaluable importance to the community as they promote unity, a healthy mind in a healthy body, as well as better mutual understanding. Physical activity through sports not only improves health but also strengthens the sense of belonging and solidarity among community members. Sport reflects a healthy community, where its members are active, motivated, and ready to cooperate, which carries over into other aspects of social life.
Mekteb Enrollment
The number of enrollments in mekteb classes has reached a record level this year. Hundreds of children are enrolled in all the mosques, and at the community level, the number of students has long exceeded a thousand, with a progressively increasing growth rate year after year. This is now a community with thousands of students attending mekteb classes. Mosques, under the leadership of their imams, have hired additional teachers to ensure quality education for all children. This commitment to educating the youth is crucial for the long-term sustainability and development of the community. Children represent the future of the Ummah, and through mekteb classes, they acquire not only religious knowledge but also moral values that will shape their character.
Seminar for Imams
The first seminar for imams of the Muslim community of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg will be held soon in several cities in the Baden-Württemberg region of Germany. The seminar’s theme, “Sustainable Motivation and Combating Stress in the Work of an Imam,” is of paramount importance to all imams. The role of an imam carries great responsibilities, from spiritual leadership of the community to addressing the daily challenges faced by believers. Imams are the pillars and guides of the Muslim community, and maintaining their motivation and taking care of their mental health is essential for their ability to fulfill their duties effectively.
Quran Evening
The Quran Evening, one of the most significant religious events in Luxembourg, will be held on October 5, 2024, in the magnificent hall of the Conservatory, in the capital. This event brings together renowned Quran reciters from around the world, recognized for their skill and beauty in reciting Allah’s words. Their presence and participation lend particular importance and spiritual and cultural significance to this event, making it a valuable experience for all attendees.
In addition to the internationally renowned reciters, representatives from every mosque in Luxembourg will also participate, further strengthening the sense of unity and brotherhood within the Muslim community. This evening will provide an opportunity for believers from all parts of the country to gather, united in their love for the Quran and their desire to feel its mercy through the melodious voices of the reciters.
During the evening, special recognition will be given to the new Hafiz from Luxembourg, who will receive certificates of achievement for completing the memorization of the Quran. This recognition is not only a reflection of their dedication and effort but also a great honor for the entire community, which thus gains new guardians of the Quran, essential for preserving the religious heritage and passing on sacred knowledge to future generations.
At the same time, important documents are being prepared for a more effective functioning of the community, including frameworks that guarantee the integrity of imams and the imamate.
