How did ISLAM Spread to RUSSIA? - KJ Vids
According to early Arab sources, Islam first entered the territory of modern Russia in the seventh century.
In 737 C.E. the Muslim army achieved a victory over the Khazar Kingdom, the strongest military power in the region.
The army was led by general Marwan, who later became Marwan II the last caliph of the Umayyad dynasty.
With the success of Marwan II, the Northern Caucasus, as well as the lower Volga region became a part of the Umayyad Empire.
The first autonomous Muslim region in Russia was the Bulghar Kingdom in the Middle Volga region.
The ruler of the Bulghar, Bin Salki Belekvar, requested the Abbasid caliph, al-Muqtadir, to dispatch Islamic scholars to teach Islam.
This autonomous state existed from the eighth century until its invasion by the Mongols in 1236 C.E.
The next wave of the spread of Islam in Russia took place during the Golden Horde province of the Chenghizid Empire.
Under the rule of Uzbek Khan (1312-42), Islam became the official religion of the entire kingdom ran by the Volga Bulghar.
The territories of Christian subjects, such as the Russians, Armenians, Circassians and Crimean Greeks paid the jizyah.
These vassal states were never forced into the Golden Horde and were able to preserve their religion under Muslim rule.
But the political status of Islam was due to be reversed drastically in the region by the mid-sixteenth century.
The newly-established mighty Russian state under the Ivan IV (the Terrible), invaded the Kazan and Astra khan states.
Over the next three centuries, Russia expanded into Muslim-inhabited lands of Siberia, the Caucasus and Central Asia.
In 1859, Muslims of Dagestan lost their country to Tsarist Russia after 34 years of resistance under Imam Shamil (1797-1871).
The Russian victory had a devastating impact on Caucasian Muslims. Thousands were deported to Siberia.
Hundreds of thousands more were forced to flee to the Ottoman Empire.
Russia’s conquest of Central Asia was completed in 1885. By the 20th century, Russia had over 14 million Muslims.
From then on, Muslims were faced with coercive Christianization and Russification, which was central to Moscow’s policy.
Unknown to many, Islam has a long history in Russia. Today there remains16-20 million Muslims in Russia.

RUSSIA: EID AL ADHA
Russian/Nat
XFA
Russia's Muslims celebrated one of their most important holy days Monday in an atmosphere of official acceptance, with services attended by leading politicians and broadcast live on state television.
Eid al-Adha, which is known in Russia by the Turkish name of Kurban Bairam, commemorates Abraham's sacrifice of a ram to God instead of his son and centers on the ritual slaughter of a sheep or other animal.
Last year was the first time the holiday received broad attention by Russian leaders.
Russia has about 20 million Muslims, making Islam the nation's second-largest religion after the Russian Orthodox Church.
But Orthodoxy receives far more attention from the politicians and the media than Islam or Judaism.
Some observers say the increased attention to Islam is an attempt to win Muslims' support for the Kremlin's war against rebels in Chechnya, a predominantly Muslim region.
The country's chief mufti, or Islamic religious leader, Talgan Tadzhuddin, said at services Monday in the city of Ufa, about 1,200 kilometers (750 miles) east of Moscow, that the war is a necessary measure against terrorists, rather than brothers in faith, the Interfax news agency reported.
Thousands of men listened to the service and prayed standing outside the mosque in a snowstorm. Muslim leaders put attendance at 30,000. President Vladimir Putin issued an official greeting to Muslims on the holiday.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
Every man should arrive to understanding the Islam on his own accord. The faith is the faith. Before we used to trust the communists now we trust in Allah.
SUPER CAPTION: Ravil (first name only)
SOUNDBITE: (Russian) Shamil (first name only)
I wish all the Muslims in the world happiness and joy at home, to see their children grow strong and healthy. And, again, the best of luck to all our Muslim brothers in the world.

More details have emerged about an Islamic sect that lived together underground for nearly a decade on the outskirts of the city of Kazan in Russia.
The leader is in police custody as the state decides whether to charge him with entrapping his followers and their children.
Shamil Ibragimov, 29, and his four children aged two to nine, were among the 70 sect members Russian police found living in an underground bunker without heat or sunlight.
Sometimes they let me out, or else I just jumped over the gate and got out, he said.

Conflict at mosque headed by Imam Chumakov
On May 29, after the Friday prayer, in the Ingush village of Nasyr-Kort, a conflict occurred between followers of different trends of Islam. On the same day, Imam Khamzat Chumakov has announced that no collective prayers will be conducted after Friday prayers anymore. Ingush followers of Sufi Islam reacted to the Imam's decision with aggression. Supporters of the Imam disseminated the information that in Nasyr-Kort, people publicly voiced threats against Khamzat Chumakov. In particular, there were calls to force the Imam out of the mosque during the Friday prayer on June 5. On the day before, on June 4, Ingush leader Yunus-Bek Evkurov urged mosque-goers not to commit any illegal actions. In the morning of June 5, the mosque was cordoned off by riot police. However, they have failed to prevent a conflict during the Friday prayer. Officials from the on duty unit of the Nazran City Interior Division refused to comment on the situation. According to the spokesman of the Security Council of Ingushetia, no one suffered as a result of the incident between mosque-goers. For details, see:
Muslim sect member describes life underground
A place completely isolated to the outside world, this is the underground compound of the radical Islamic sect in Kazan, Russia that was raided last week.
The 70 inhabitants follow a reclusive spiritual leader, Faizrakhman Satarov, who calls himself a prophet and says God speaks to him in his sleep.
Now for the first time one of the group's members has spoken to the press about the living conditions of the site. Shamil Ibragimov, 29, told Reuters he had been with the group for over a decade.
Every family had a separate room. There was a bathroom on every floor, a sink, tiles, a gas tank.
Two weeks ago police raided the bunker and freed 27 children whom authorities stated had been kept underground and had 'no contact with the outside world'. Ibragimov said that the despite government plans to demolish the site, the group wanted to keep their independence.
Even if they (the authorities) have some sort of demands, for example that there isn't enough space, then let them give us the space, the apartments. Let them give it to us, so we can live in peace.
The raid on the compound, that has declared itself an independent Islamist state, comes after increasing tensions in the Tatarstan region. Mainstream media had ignored the community, until regional Islamic scholar Ildus Faizov was wounded in a car bomb attack on July 19, and his deputy shot later that day, prompting an investigation into radical Islamist groups.

First Russian Islamic television channel opens
(19 Aug 2012) STORYLINE:
Russia's first 24-hour nationwide Islamic television channel Al-RTV is scheduled to start broadcasting on Sunday, the eve of the Eid al-Fitr holiday celebrating the end of Ramadan.
Veteran journalist Rustam Arifjanov, who is the Editor-in-chief of the new venture, said that it was the right time to launch the channel.
Unfortunately, in the Russian Federation there are very few television programmes about Islam, so at this stage we have to ask to provide television films, fiction and non-fiction films, and ask to sell these programmes, Arifjanov told The Associated Press.
He said the station will broadcast public access content and that the station's programmes will target a variety of Islamic traditions.
Creators of the channel said that they have relied on their own manpower and financial resources, but that they expect financial assistance from Islamic media partners abroad.
During the month of preparation for the station's first broadcast, Arifjanov, who is also the Vice President of the Eurasian Academy of Television and Radio, held meetings with state representatives from Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Indonesia.
One key challenge for the team will be translating parts of the Holy Quran for non-Muslim viewers.
There can't be a Muslim channel where we do not explain the meaning of this or that in Islamic terms. We will try to do all this in an interesting enough manner, at times in a jovial manner, Arifjanov said.
Many Muslims in Moscow say they have been waiting for a channel like this for a long time.
Of course, we need a channel like this. Not everyone speaks Tartar or Farsi. But everyone here understands Russian, the large part of those who live here, said Shamil Fayzulin of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation.
Over the past several years, Moscow's Muslim population has expanded with an influx from post-Soviet Central Asian and Caucasus countries, mostly seeking work.
Despite the increase however there are only four mosques available for the two (m) million Muslims in the city.

Abu al Ghazi Bahadur
Abu al-Ghazi Bahadur (Uzbek: Abulgʻozi Bahodirxon Abulgazi, Ebulgazi, Abu-l-Ghazi, August 24, 1603 – 1663) was a khan of the Khanate of Khiva from 1643 to 1663. He spent ten years in Persia before becoming khan, and was very well educated, writing two historical works in the Khiva dialect of the Chagatai language.[1]
He was born in Urgench, Khanate of Khiva, the son of ruler 'Arab Muhammad Khan. He fled to the Safavid court in Isfahan after a power struggle arose among him and his brothers. He lived there in exile from 1629 until 1639 studying Persian and Arabic history. In 1644 or 1645 he acceded to the throne, a position he would hold for twenty years. He died in Khiva in 1663.
Abu al-Ghazi is known as the author of two historical works: Genealogy of the Turkmen Shajare-i Tarakime finished in 1661 and Genealogy of the Türks Shajare-i Türk finished in 1665. These are important sources for modern knowledge of Central Asian history.[2]
The Shajare-i Türk history of the Türkic people was Abu al-Ghazi opus magnum, its title was variously translated as Genealogy of the Türks and Genealogy of the Tatars, the Shajare being Türkic for genealogy. According to Abu al-Ghazi, in Shajare-i Türk he used the work of Rashid-al-Din Hamadani, Sharaf ad-Din Ali Yazdi, and other writers, totaling 18 historical sources, and corrected them in accordance with Turkic oral traditions which he was taught as a Prince.[3] A manuscript of the Shajare-i Türk was purchased in Tobolsk from a Bukhara merchant by Swedish officers detained in Russian captivity in Siberia; using the local literate Tatars, the Swedish officers first translated the book into Russian, and then they retranslated it into various other languages. The French translation of the Shajare-i Türk was first published in Leiden in 1726, the French translation served as an original for a Russian translation published in 1768-1774, in 1780 it was published separately in German and English, and during the 18th century was widely read in Europe.
In the 19th and 20th centuries were published numerous critical translations of the Shajare-i Türk, which serve as historical sources for modern scholars. The first critical translation, performed by professional scholars, was published in Kazan in 1825. The Turkish translation of the text published in Kazan was done by philologist Vefik Ahmed Pasha and initially published in 1864. The most influential Western publication was Historie des Mogols et des Tatares par Aboul-Ghazi Behadour Khan, publiee, traduite et annotee par le baron Desmaisons, St.-Petersbourg 1871-1874.[4]
N.Ya. Bichurin was the first to notice that the biography of the epic ancestor of the Türkic people Oguz-Kagan of Abu al-Ghazi and the Türko-Persian manuscripts (Rashid al-Din, Hondemir, Abulgazi) has a striking similarity with the Maodun biography in the Chinese sources (feud between father and son and murder of the latter, the direction and sequence of conquests, etc.). That observation, confirmed by other scholars, associated in the scientific literature the name of Maodun with the epic personality of the Oguz-Kagan.[5] The similarity is even more remarkable because at the time of the writing, no Chinese annals were translated into either oriental or western languages, and Abu al-Ghazi could not have known about Eastern Huns or Maodun.
The literary significance of Shajare-i Türk is that Abu al-Ghazi openly spoke against Chaghatay literary language because it carried a strong Persian influence. Abu al-Ghazi language is easy, simple folk language of the Khiva Uzbeks and is quite different from the Chaghatay literary language. The style of Abu al-Ghazi, despite a scientific nature of his compositions, is distinguished by clarity and richness of vocabulary, and is interspersed with the falk Uzbek expressions and proverbs.[6]
Abu al-Ghazi son Abu al-Muzaffar Anusha Muhammad Bahadur reassigned to complete the work of his father Shajare-i Türk to a certain Mahmud bin Mulla Muhammad Zaman Urgench, it was finalized in 1665. The work lists Türkic genealogy starting from the biblical Adam and primogenitor of the Türks Oguz-Khan, and provides legendary details on their descendents including Chengiz Khan and Shaybanid dynasty, providing a good picture of Mongol and Turkic historical understanding of the time.
