Kazakhstan Muslims Prepare for Kurban-ait Holiday
Kurban-ait approaches: Kazakhstan prepares for the holiday. The Muslim holiday of Kurban-ait will be celebrated in Kazakhstan from June 6th to 8th. The time of the Ait-namaz prayer has been announced by the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kazakhstan (DUMK). In Nur-Sultan, special places for sacrifices have been designated in the Baikonur and Almaty districts. "For those who cannot participate personally, the DУМК has launched an online platform for the selection and payment of sacrificial animals," reports Madina Almoldinova, a presenter for 7 канал. The convenience of online participation is particularly appreciated by those living outside urban areas or with mobility issues. Prayer times vary across the country, starting at 6:00 AM in most regions, 6:30 AM in the west, and 7:00 AM in the east. The holiday is a time of community and celebration, with families coming together. The DУМК's online initiative ensures that everyone can participate, regardless of location or circumstances.
