Letter of Congratulation
Dear Muftiy!
On behalf of Muslim Board of Russian Federation, Council of Muftiys of Russian Federation and personally myself, I congratulate you on receiving Certificate of State Registry of Islamic Academy.
Praise be to Allah that as in times of our great ancestors like Imam Bukhariy, Imam Termiziy, Abdulhalik Gijduvaniy, Bahouddin Naqshbandiy, today as well due to the support by President Shavkat Miromonovich Mirziyoyev and great work of Muslim Board of Uzbekistan under your management new traditions of Islamic Higher Education are reviving in Uzbekistan.
Мен Ислом академиясининг Ўзбекистон ва ислом манфаати йўлида муваффақиятли ва самарали фаолият олиб боришига тилакдошман. Ўз дини ва умматига фидокорона хизмат қилиб келаётган инсон сифатида Сиз азиз биродаримнинг барча эзгу ишларингизга Аллоҳнинг ўзи мададкор бўлишини чин дилдан тилаб қоламан!
I wish successful and fruitful efforts for the activity of the Academy for the sake of Uzbekistan and Islam. For you, dear brother, as the person who sincerely serves his religion and ummah, I genuinely wish you help from Allah in all your efforts!
With much respect and prayers,

Saudi Arabia has implemented a ban on tobacco shops operating within 500 meters of mosques and schools, according to new guidelines from the Ministry of Municipalities and Housing.
The measures aim to safeguard public health, ensure legal compliance, and maintain orderly business environments in urban areas.
The regulations affect all stores selling tobacco products, including cigarettes, shisha, and e-cigarettes. Shop owners must possess valid commercial registration, Civil Defense approval, and full compliance with municipal licensing laws.
Stores must occupy at least 36 square meters within commercial buildings, with additional local municipality conditions possible.
Exterior signage cannot display logos or promotional materials - only the store name. Operations require security cameras indoors and outdoors, adherence to hygiene standards, electronic payment options, and prohibited sidewalk use.
All tobacco products must meet Saudi Food and Drug Authority standards, feature clear warning labels, and be sold in sealed packages. Vending machines, price reductions, gifts, and product testing are forbidden.
