The Prophet Muhammad's strand of hair given to Supreme Muftiyat of Kazakhstan

The story told by 85-year-old Fatima Dairova from the Atbasar area could serve as a basis for the plot adventure film. "In the middle of the XVIII century a distant relative of my grandmother Fatima Sheikh Ahmaduddin, an enlightened aristocrat, made a pilgrimage to Mecca. There he was presented with a hair from the beard of the blessed Prophet. A priceless artifact was at first kept in the mosque and handed down from generation to generation. After the October Revolution and the subsequent persecution of Islam Fatima's father for security started to hide out the sacred object.

In early March of this year, the keeper of the treasure turned to a local imam and told all about the sacred object. He looked at the box of hair of the Prophet almost speechless. In the greatest secrecy it was sent to be studied in Astana. Two months the experts from Turkey and Saudi Arabia had been studying the strand and the unique ancient certificate attached to it. The paper describes the origin of the rarity. It turns out that Sheikh Ahmaduddin got a hair in 1856 in the presence of a Muslim community in Mecca. Ratification was certified by eight seals of the priests. The experts concluded that the hair was authentic and identical to the one located in the Museum of the First President.

Yesterday in Atbasar Fatima apai became famous overnight having given the gift to the Supreme Muftiyat of Kazakhstan. Local clergy and the sponsors in return for the unprecedented action has bought Fatima apai a bedroom apartment. The news about the authenticity of the relic gives strength to the old woman. On this day it looked as if the world turned kinder, clouds have gone and the long-awaited sun appeared in the sky.
