Public religious events and sacrifices were conducted all over Chechnya on the Prophet Muhammad’s birthday.
The relics have already been delivered to Grozny. In September 2011, the Prophet’s sacred bowl and two carpets that covered Muhammad’s tomb for a long time were brought from London.
Another Islamic relic, the Prophet’s hair, was delivered to Chechnya from Uzbekistan in late January 2012. Later, on February 3, three more hairs were brought to Grozny, which the Chechen Government said were a gift from Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. On July 11, 2012 relics related to the lives of the Prophet’s relatives were also delivered. They were displayed at the Central Mosque, the Heart of Chechnya, for four days. The Prophet’s hair from his head and beard, clothings, goblet, and other items were brought to Grozny.
