In a secular state, the need for the spiritual development of Muslim Ummah members may be realized through various scientific, theological and cultural activities jointly organized by the authorities and Spiritual Administrations of the respective region. In a number of subjects of the Russian Federation, there are well-established social practices aiming to preserve spiritual heritage of the Muslim people. In the Perm region, such practices include a complex of events under the title «Interregional forum of Muslim culture “The Muslim world”». This forum has been held since 2009 and has become a traditional event for the Muslim community of the Perm region. Modern practices of preserving the spiritual heritage of Muslim peoples include a wide range of different activities, from scientific and theological to cultural and folk ones. All these activities give an opportunity to involve a wide range of individuals and social groups, both belonging to Islam and not, in practical action aimed at the preservation and dissemination of the Muslim spiritual heritage. The current study offers some generalized recommendations for the organizers of the following meetings of Muslim culture: to hold more different events in the field of Islamic science and Islamic education, actively attracting famous scholars of Islamic studies from Russia and abroad; to expand the representation of the Spiritual Administrations of Muslims and ethnic communities from other regions of Russia; to increase the number of participants in trade fairs by inviting manufacturers and suppliers of products «Halal» from neighboring countries and beyond; to hold more events with the active participation of Islamic youth.

Keywords: heritage preservation, Islam, Muslim organizations, religious traditions, social practices.
