Controversy Surrounds 100,000 Tenge Gas Shares in Zhambyl Region
In a recent statement, the Dumankeldi Uyghur Mosque (DUMK) has denounced rumours circulating about the sale of "tickets to heaven" and emphasised that spiritual enlightenment cannot be bought or sold. The source of the "tickets to heaven" rumour remains unknown, as reported by DUMK.
Meanwhile, the representative of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kazakhstan in the Jambyl region, Askar Satylganov, has addressed the situation regarding the payment for conducting janaza-namaz (funeral prayers) in the Sarisu district. According to Satylganov, charging or demanding payment for religious rituals contradicts both Sharia and human moral principles.
Currently, there is no evidence of a dispute or discussion regarding payments for funeral prayers in the Sarisu and Zhualy districts of Kazakhstan. The fee for conducting a janaza-namaz in the Sarisu district has been reported as 100,000 tenge. This news has sparked outrage among the local population, who question how those without the funds are supposed to cope.
DUMK encourages the public to be cautious of false rumours and to rely on official religious institutions for accurate information. The mosque also advises the public to report any suspicious activities or rumours to the appropriate religious authorities.
Askar Satylganov emphasised that religious rituals should be conducted by imams attached to the mosque to avoid misunderstandings. He also explained that the person demanding payment for janaza may not even be an official imam.
DUMK reiterates its commitment to upholding religious principles and promoting spiritual growth within the community. The organisation urges the public to focus on their spiritual journey and not be swayed by false promises or rumours.
Local public figure Alik Bekmusayev and Liter.kz have reported the news of the fee for the janaza-namaz with reference to Halyqstan. Despite the controversy, there are no search results indicating any current status related to such a dispute. If you need detailed or updated information on this specific matter, it might require searching local news sources or official statements beyond the current search results.
- In light of the concern over payments for religious rituals, DUMK urges the public to align with the financial principles of business and industry, emphasizing that spiritual enlightenment and religious rituals should not be monetized, for it contradicts Sharia and human moral values.
- Meanwhile, the representative of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kazakhstan encourages the community to ensure that imams attached to the mosque conduct religious rituals to prevent misunderstandings in financial matters, safeguarding the integrity of the industry and the faith.
