🕌 Delivered on 29 September 2026 in Moscow, this address by Sheikh Imran N. Hosein explores the Qur’an, Russia, and fraternity between Muslims and Orthodox Christians. The forum was organised by Mufti Albir Kirganov and the Spiritual Assembly of the Muslims of Russia, bringing together muftis, representatives of other religions, government officials, and international guests.

📘 Sheikh Imran recalls a conversation with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov following an earlier Multipolarity conference in Moscow. He explains how the minister’s request that he write on Russia and the Qur’an led to his book, The Qur’an and Russia’s Destiny, available in English and Russian.

⛪ He introduces the book’s central argument concerning Orthodox Christian Russia as the successor of the Holy Byzantine Empire, inviting those present to explore his interpretation of what the Qur’an says about that historical and spiritual relationship.

✍️ Turning to Alexander Pushkin’s engagement with the Qur’an, Sheikh Imran shares his interest in writing a further book on Pushkin, the Qur’an, and Russia. He presents the poet’s inspiration as an invitation for Russian readers to engage more deeply with the scripture.

🤝 Reflecting on his efforts to bring Muslims and Christians together, particularly in the Balkans, Sheikh Imran welcomes the forum as an opportunity to strengthen fraternity despite the painful history between the two communities.

📖 The address culminates in his reading of Surah Al-Mā’idah, verse 82, concerning those who declare, “We are Christians,” and their closeness in affection to the believers. He emphasizes the place of priests and monks, the continuing life of monasteries, and the quality of humility described in the verse.

🕊️ Sheikh Imran applies this passage to his understanding of Orthodox Christian Russia, expressing hope that faith, humility, and a shared commitment to truth can deepen relations between Muslims and Christians.
