DECISION OF MUFTISM OF TUZLA AND APPROVAL OF ISLAMIC COMMUNITY IN BIH CONDITIONS CREATE THAT BELIEVERS CAN PERFORM PRAYERS IN COMPLEX OF MEMORIAL CENTER IN POTOČARI

SREBRENICA, APRIL 2 (ONASA) – With the decision of the Mufti of Tuzla and the approval of the Islamic Community in BiH, conditions have been created for believers to perform prayers in the complex of the Memorial Center in Potočari.
The faithful now have the opportunity to pray in the area of the musala in the grounds of the Memorial Center, and the number of believers at Juma and Teravih prayers is proof that the competent institutions have made a good move.
Mothers from Srebrenica who lost their loved ones and buried in the Memorial Center in Potočari come every night for yacja and teravih prayer. One of them is Mejra Đogaz, who says that it is a special feeling to pray in the Valley of Martyrs.
– Every night I come and pray with my people and there are many of us, thank God. It is difficult to describe the feeling during the prayer, for us mothers, the best medicine is prayer. Our loved ones are here. I buried my two sons in the Memorial Center and somehow I feel better when I pray here, near them – said Đogaz, adding that her house is only 200 meters away from the Memorial Center.
Idriz Mustafić, from Gostilje, says that there is a congregation 500 meters from his house, but he continues another two kilometers to pray teravih prayers in the Memorial Center every evening.
– All five daily prayers are the same, but those that are prayed in the Memorial Center and next to the white niches and my two sons’ niches, for me, have a special difference and give the soul some relief – Mustafić emphasized.
Believers from Potočar, Pećište, Đogaz, Budak, Dugi Polje and other settlements come to the Memorial Center for teravih prayers, but also believers from other cities who come only to pray teravih prayers here and immediately return.
Muhamed Hatunić from Lukavac, a fourth-grade student at Behram Bey’s madrasa in Tuzla, leads the prayers at the Memorial Center this Ramadan.
