🕌 Speaking from Makhachkala on the Caspian Sea, Sheikh Imran N. Hosein shares his impressions of Dagestan, reflecting on the faith, hospitality, and warmth of the Muslim community he has encountered.

🤝 He describes a meeting with the mufti, whose humility left a deep impression upon him. Their conversation turns to Islamic eschatology and Sheikh Imran’s hope of teaching a method of daily Qur’an recitation to the children of Dagestan.

🌙 At the heart of this message is his approach to completing the Qur’an each lunar month, beginning with the sighting of the new crescent. Sheikh Imran explains how he connects this practice with living by the moon and remaining conscious of sacred time.

📖 He outlines three stages of engagement with the Qur’an: reciting it, understanding what is recited, and studying it deeply. He expresses his wish to return to Dagestan for a longer stay to teach this subject, hoping that those who learn it can share it throughout the wider region.

🏡 The address also recounts an evening of Dagestani hospitality, where families and scholars gathered to welcome him. Sheikh Imran reflects warmly on the reception he received from the local scholars and the community’s attachment to Islam.

⛰️ Remembering his visit to Derbent and expressing his admiration for Imam Shamil, he concludes with a prayer that Allah might enable him to return to Dagestan and continue this work.
