President of Religious Affairs Prof. Dr. Ali Erbaş shared an emotional message on his social media account on the occasion of the 4th anniversary of the opening of the Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque for worship.
Erbaş reminds that the longing that turned into a deep heartache for the nation ended 4 years ago today and noted the following:
- “Today is the day when takbir,analiz and salawat echo from the domes of Hagia Sophia and when the call to prayer and salah rise from its minarets.”
- “May God Almighty not deprive the prostrations from His mihrab, the calls to prayer from His minarets, the lessons from His pulpits, and the sermons from His pulpit.”
