Islam.ru

Islam.ru is a Russian-language web portal devoted to setting out the provisions of Islam and its social and cultural role, with a full English version. Several Russian scholars, Alexey Malashenko and Roman Silantyev among them, count it among the largest Islamic sites of the Russian-speaking internet. ¹

The site was established in 2001 by the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Dagestan with several foundations. According to Kavkazskiy Uzel (Caucasian Knot) it was financed by the Dagestani businessman Abusupyan Kharkharov, and its first chief editor was Marat Sayfutdinov. ¹

It publishes news, articles and religious texts, among them the texts of prayers, and has an "Online Consultation" section for psychological, legal and theological advice; Russian media such as REGNUM, Interfax-Religion and Kommersant cite its material. ¹

In February 2011 the site was redesigned; Murad Osmanov, an employee of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Dagestan, became its director, and its headquarters moved to Dagestan. ¹ On 5 March 2018 Magomed Yusupovich Magomedov was appointed chief editor. ¹

The site is active at islam.ru in Russian and English and has articles in the English and Russian Wikipedias. ²
