Peace be upon you and the Mercy of the Almighty!
Dear my brother in Islam, Professor Ali Erbash!
It was with great worry and concern that I received the news about your coronavirus infection, which has become a great trial for humanity. I pray to the Almighty to grant you, and in your person to all the sufferers of the Turkish Republic, who have suffered this misfortune, a speedy healing. I am convinced that you will follow the recommendations of doctors with the dignity inherent in people who have submitted to the Will of the Creator and will soon overcome the virus, showing a good example for your co-religionists, a consistent fight against the disease.
We followed with great concern the stages of the fight against the pandemic in a fraternal country and prayerfully appealed to the Creator so that people would meet this trial with all seriousness. I would also like to note the role played by the Department of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Turkey in stabilizing the situation in the country and helping the population in this difficult time.
Dear brother, I pray to God to give you a quick healing and to return to your mission as the religious leader of the Muslims of Turkey as soon as possible. My words are echoed by the members of the Religious Board of Muslims of the Russian Federation, as well as the multi-million Ummah of Russian Muslims who come in good prayer for you.
With kind prayers and best wishes,
Mufti Sheikh Ravil Gaynutdin,
Chairman of the Religious Board of Muslims of the Russian Federation and the Council of Muftis of Russia,
Member of the Council for Interaction with Religious Associations under the President of the Russian Federation
General Secretary of the Muslim International Forum
