Allah doesn't need any mediators | Aidar Khairutdinov. Ph.D. in philosophy, Islamic scholar, teacher
At all times, prophets have come and brought the Truth for all people, for all mankind. But gradually, the Truth was distorted and religions were created on its basis, which became institutions of power and instruments of human enslavement. What the prophets taught was replaced or erased, thus, the opportunity for a person to communicate with God directly was taken away. On March 20th, 2021, the event took place, the significance of which cannot be overestimated - it was the world conference “Creative Society. What the Prophets Dreamed of.” For the first time in the...
