DEAR VISITORS!

We kindly ask you to follow the rules of behavior while
visiting holy places and cemeteries.

1. Every visitor should be prepared spiritually and physically (to make ablution), to dedicate the visit to Allah, temporarily to be free from everyday concerns and think about the hereafter.

2. On a pilgrimage to a holy place bring greetings and memories of the deceased by reading Surah's from the Koran.

3. Men and women should enter the holy place separately observing the right order and queue, to respect the memory of the holy people and to be dressed simply.

4. It is prohibited to kiss the tombstones; to bow to the stones; to walk around with shining candles; please do not tie ribbons on trees; do not write words on the walls.

5. It is prohibited to take photos next to the tombstones; to sit or step on them, do not speak loudly, please do not make noise, please do not behave badly.

6. Please, keep the holy place clean. It is prohibited to cook and eat food; to listen to music, rest, sleep, smoke and drink alcohol.

7. The holy people and the deceased were Allah's servants. It is a sin to ask for help from the deceased or sacrifice animals on graves. Sacrifice is only for Allah and his reward for the dead.

8. Please, don't put money on graves. Put money into donation boxes instead.

9. Please, leave the holy place quietly and noiselessly. When leaving, don't bend over stones.

10. Holy places and mausoleums are gems of the Homeland as well as masterpieces of national spirituality, culture and values. It is the honorable duty of every citizen - to preserve and to pass to future generations with great care.

May your visit please Allah so that your wishes can come true!
