According to him, "faith does not require spectators or admirers. It is an intimate conversation between a person and the Creator."
Shykmamatov emphasized that despite differences in nationality, views, and social status, in Mecca these boundaries disappear, leaving only the aspiration for peace, purification, and the search for deep meaning. He added that true faith does not divide or judge but teaches compassion and helps to cope with aggression.
The head of the State National Security Committee noted that Islam is not only about performing religious rituals but also about understanding one's place in the world and the responsibility towards oneself and others. "Its true essence is to unite, heal souls, and open hearts," he stated in his publication.
Furthermore, Shykmamatov highlighted that faith is not about proving one's correctness to others. For him, faith is primarily a path of inner development and the desire to become better.
In conclusion, he expressed gratitude for the opportunity to be in Mecca as a simple believer and wished for everyone to find their path to Allah and inner peace, reminding that each of us will sooner or later stand before God, so it is important to live with faith.
