Strength in Unity

It’s great when village celebrations aren’t just fun and games, but have some deeper meaning to them. Events like that really bring people together. I wonder, though, how popular are those old-school national pastimes, like log sawing-do people still genuinely care about them?

In our aul, after Juma prayer, they sometimes hold an alaman baiga - it's breathtaking. Traditions like that really hold the jamaat together, the youth get drawn in too.

Sawing a log - that’s real strength, but it’d be better if they showed that strength in unity when our brothers are being oppressed. Traditions are fine, but the ummah matters more.

In our area, log sawing at the Sabantuy is a real hit. Even city folks come over and are surprised. The main thing is that the judges are fair - sometimes they cheat for the prizes.

Genuine interest? Man, after holidays like these, guys are out doing sports, not hanging around back alleys. As long as they don’t just do it for the 'gram, ticking boxes and forgetting about it.
