100th anniversary of KMSH/ President Begaj, message for religious coexistence
President Bajram Begaj

President Bajram Begaj participated this afternoon in the reception on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Albanian Muslim Community.

Begaj said that the Islamic Community of Albania and other religious communities have made important contributions to the Independence of Albania and the Albanian state.

"Today is the occasion to recall the fact that religious communities, among them the Islamic Community of Albania, are important contributors to the Independence of Albania and a consolidating stone of the Albanian state.

The organization of Muslim believers, who made up the majority of the country's population, in an institution on a national basis, completely Albanian and independent from foreign religious institutions, is an indication of how important and sacred independence and sovereignty was for Albanian clerics and Muslims, even in the framework religious.

As the fruit of the long-standing efforts of Albanian Muslim clerics, the Muslim Community of Albania has proven over the years that religion and nation for them were and are inseparable as two notions that do not exclude each other", he said, while stopping at religious coexistence.

"Without a doubt, coexistence and religious harmony between different religious communities in Albania is a precious and rare asset, and the Albanian Muslim community has contributed to this since its foundation.

Another important aspect of the commitment of this community, over the years, has been helping the needy, as a work that brings them closer to God. The emblematic case is that of Mr. Zyber Hallulli, Mufti and Mayor of the Municipality of Tirana in 1913-1914, who opened the orphanage, which still bears his name today.

After the 90s, religious communities benefited from their rights sanctioned in Article 10 and 24 of the Constitution of Albania, the application of human rights according to the principles of the Council of Europe in our Constitution for the rights of faith", he declared.

The Head of State emphasized that he will support believers of all religions and promote harmony and religious coexistence.

"I am confident that today's Albanian Muslim clerics, as well as those of other communities, as spiritual leaders, will continue to work together to inspire Albanians to engage together, regardless of religious belief, for progress and the prosperity of the country, for the well-being of our common home, Albania.

I would like to assure you that as President of the Republic I will continue to be a strong partner of you and believers of every faith; I will continue to be a supporter and defender of freedom of belief; promoter of religious harmony and coexistence as a national value", underlined the President./ CNA.al
