Hazrat stressed that the speeches of the delegates were devoted to the study of tombstones as historical and cultural monuments, the organization of historical museums, the collection of samples of old letters, the popularization of national crafts.

As a result of the work of the discussion platform, the delegates put forward the following proposals: at the state level, take measures to preserve ancient gravestones, involve scientists and religious leaders in the study and identification of gravestones, create state programs to popularize national crafts, organize a system of national educational historical museums in each region, to organize work to identify samples of the writing of the Tatar people.

Ilyas-khazrat Ziganshin also expressed his opinion about the role of the imam-khazrats as people who are an example for believers.

“We must educate disciples who will selflessly work for the good of their people. Only in this way will we grow up individuals who determine our national identity. The clergy should become a beacon on the path of educating the younger generation, ”stressed Ilyas-khazrat Ziganshin.
