Abstract
The article is devoted to the charitable work of an authoritative Muslim theologian of the Middle Volga region, Sheikh, Akhun Nurgali Khasanov (1852–1919). This part of his life is revealed on the basis of the pre-revolutionary Tatar newspapers the Koyash, the Yoldyz, the Azad, the Mаglumat magazine, the memoirs of contemporaries, published documents and his work “Al-Gauatyf al-Hamidiya fi ssayakhati nuriya” (Commendable Feelings of Light Travels), dedicated to pilgrimage. The events described cover the period from 1886 to 1917.
On the example of charitable activity of this bright personality, it seems possible to perceive the historical processes of that time, to understand what diffi culties Muslim religious fi gures, theologians of the Middle Volga region of the late XIX – early XX centuries encountered in life.
