Surviving Religion


Different historical events had influence on Islam among Tatars. It struggled with difficulties then had alleviations. In times of difficulties it was very important for Tatar-Muslims to not lose? But to find the ways to preserve the knowledge about ideas of Islam. Celebration of the Prophet Muhammad’s birthday –“Maulid-bairam” has become the one of the most important phenomena of religious life of Tatar-Muslims of 20th century, which helped to save the religion.
To understand role of Islam among Tatars it’s important to follow the historical aspects which affected the life of Tatar-Muslims. The main stages of the history of the Northern Islam in the Middle-Volga region of Russia were as follows.
Tatars are descendants of a wide variety of peoples ranging from Huns and Medieval Bulgars to the Mongols of Genghis’ Khan’s time. In the middle of the 5th century after the death of Attila, the Great Hun Empire began to disintegrate into several Turkic Kingdoms, among them in the 7th century, the kingdom of Great Bulgaria. Around the middle of the 7th century the Bulgars divided into two brunches. One crossed the river Danube and founded a kingdom in the Balkans.
The Danube Bulgars were strongly influenced by the native Slavs and the neighboring Byzantine Empire. By the 9th century, their language had been replaced by Slavic, and in 864 they were converted to Orthodox Christianity. The modern state of Bulgaria is named after them. The other Bulgar remained in the Eastern part of the European plains. A portion of these in the 8th century moved to the Middle Volga River and the Ural mountains where the ancient State Magna Hungaria was located. Bulgars of Great Bulgaria and Ugro-Finnic tribes of Magna Hungaria established the feudal Volga Bulgar State in the 9th century. “Balkan Bulgars, having accepted Christianity, soon lost their Turkic characteristics; nonetheless they preserved the old name of their country. The Volga-Ural Tatars, on other hand, accepted Islam and preserved most Bulgarian features except their name.”
M. Shamsutdinova states, that Tatar mythology tells that Volga-region people accepted Islam at the times of Prophet Muhammad. According to this mythology, Muhammad sent his followers – Gabdrakhman, Zubair bin Talka and Zubair bin Jadga to spread Islam to the North. He gave them his crozier, turban and inkpot, and told them to go to Great Volga-Bulgaria, Bulgar city (ancient capital of Tatars – S.B.) and preach them to accept Islam. When they reached the city, Bulgar’s Khan’s daughter was sick. They healed Khan’s daughter and Khan ordered his inhabitants to accept Islam. Zubair bin Talka married to Khan‘s daughter, whose name was Tuybike. Tuybike and Zubair bin Talka opened the Medrese for aristocratic women and started teaching them. It is said that those first 66 women who studied in that Medrese Spread Islam throughout the North. It’s believed Islam among Tatars was taken voluntarily, and it has a soft streak.
