Elbasan is considered one of Albania\u2019s important cities with a strong Islamic heritage. It flourished during the Ottoman era and was home to many mosques and educational institutions, becoming one of the country\u2019s major centers of Islamic culture. Although many of its mosques were destroyed during the communist period, the city regained its religious and educational role after the fall of the regime.<\/p>\n
The initiative comes as part of efforts by Islamic institutions in Albania to strengthen Islamic identity and raise generations grounded in knowledge, values, and morals through educational programs for children and youth during school holidays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
