On the 26th day of the month of Safar (August 20), the Muhammadiya Madrasah hosted a solemn diploma ceremony for graduates of its part-time program. A total of 51 students — 20 men and 31 women — successfully completed their four-year studies and received diplomas from the hands of the Mufti of Tatarstan and head of the madrasah, Kamil khazrat Samigullin.
The graduates of the part-time program came to study from various regions of Russia and more than 20 districts of Tatarstan. The geography is wide: the Republics of Bashkortostan and Udmurtia, as well as the Nizhny Novgorod, Ulyanovsk, Kirov, Chelyabinsk, Sverdlovsk, and Moscow regions.
The ceremony, honoring future imams and abystais (female religious teachers), was also attended by the madrasah leadership, teachers, and ustazes (mentors), who expressed their best wishes to the graduates on their professional path.
Mufti Kamil khazrat emphasized the importance of acquiring knowledge for every Muslim and called for its practical application for the benefit of society. He stressed that the knowledge gained should benefit not only the graduates themselves, but also other Muslims, encouraging the sharing of knowledge. He also reminded that one should not stop at what has been achieved, but always strive for new learning.
In his speech, Kamil khazrat noted that this year, in the current 1447th year of the Hijri calendar, a great event is being marked — the 1500th anniversary of the Prophet ﷺ. The Mufti stressed the importance and necessity of holding Mawlid celebrations.
It is worth noting that the Muhammadiya Madrasah is the oldest educational institution in the Republic of Tatarstan. Its history is closely connected with the prominent Tatar enlightener Galimjan Barudi. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the madrasah resumed its activities in 1993. Today, about 1,200 students study there, with around 200 specialists graduating each year. For the 2025–2026 academic year, the madrasah plans to admit 364 first-year students: 90 to the full-time program, 210 to the evening program, and 64 to the part-time program.
