Ferdinand Samardzi with 32 programs on CNA TV/ A spiritual and historical

Ferdinand Samarxhi, the well-known journalist of all religious faiths, winner of the "Golden Antenna", "Grand Master" and "Honor of the Nation", this year on this jubilee of the 35th anniversary of the opening of freedom of religion in Albania, starts with 32 programs throughout the Balkans. He will talk with the great leaders of the religious faith of our nation, among whom we can mention: Haxhi Naim Tërnava, Grand Mufti of Kosovo; Grand Mufti of North Macedonia, Reisul-Ulema Efendi Shaqir Fetahu; Grand Reisi of the Republic of Montenegro, Reis Rifat Fejziq; President of the Muslim Community of Albania, Bujar Spahiu; World Patriarch, His Holiness Haxhi Dede Edmond Brahimaj; as well as academics, professors, theologians, muftis, grand leaders, etc.

The conversation focuses on how they experience this year, the holy month of Ramadan, framed in this 35th anniversary of freedom of religion. Faith, 35 years ago, played a major role in the identity of the nation. All those people prayed to God in those years when faith in Albania was forbidden, but they never denied their love for God. They mythologized our faith with the nation and thanks to this mythologizing, today after 35 years they remember that savage persecution of communist terror, the time when they were not free, nor could they speak, and when mosques, churches and tekkes were closed.

On this 35th anniversary, they commemorate the freedom they had missed. The journalist, in collaboration with them, shows how this month of Ramadan is very well intertwined with the great love for the Creator of the Universe, but also with the love for faith and nation, which led to the preservation of peace and love among those who never lost faith in God. The journalist travels through all the regions of our nation such as Tuz, Dibër, Ulcinj, Ro?aje, Podgorica, Prizren, Prishtina, Skopje, Tetovo, Gostivar and Manastir. He connects all the conversations with the history of the countries and the way Islam in those regions was beautifully intertwined with the love for God; such as in Manastir, where they gathered, united and wrote our Albanian alphabet, synonymous with our nation.

Samarxhiu's show will be broadcast every day on CNA TV at 20:00 and will be shown in all regions of the Balkans, in all cities where the filming took place. CNA TV always remains close to religious communities, broadcasting shows and "live" coverage that promote coexistence and spiritual values.

Tune in to CNA TV every evening, at 8:00 PM, to experience the atmosphere and wisdom of Ramadan through the conversations of journalist Ferdinand Samarxhi./CNA
