The Open Republican Tournament of the Crimean Tatar National Wrestling Kuresh for the “Alraid” Cup was held in Simferopol, on August 21, on the third day of the Muslim fast breaking festival Uraza- Bayram (Id Al-Fitr). The idea to include the tournament in the festival program was articulated last year, gained popularity and laid the beginning of a good tradition. The atmosphere in this sport event was in full keeping with this joyful day for Muslims.
Not only adults, but children as well were willing to gain Islamic knowledge, taking active part in the process. It has been a good tradition to hold children’s contests in Ramadan, which unite children in search for knowledge and offer them a chance to compete in goodness. It’s a good stimulus to develop children’s perseverance and self-discipline.
Children look forward for Id-Al-Fitr, as not only the festival prayer, joy of meeting friends and dear ones or good wishes to each other are expected, but also a joyful festival program and, indeed, the long waited announcement of the contest winners.
