Makhachkala is the name of a city in Russia. It is located in the south. Precisely in Dagestan republic. In 2002, the city has a population of 462,412 people and has an area of 466.3 km ².
Welcome to Russia. The most extensive country in the world, stretching from the continent of Asia to the European continent. This superpower, predicted will be the largest concentration center of Muslims in Europe.
There are 28 million or about 20 percent of Muslims from 143 million Russians. The Muslim life in Russia, much centered in the state. Dagestan one of them.
The village of Kubachi became the first goal of the Islamic Jazirah team. And when it comes there is a market day in Kubachi, which is only there once a week, ie on Thursday. All traders from neighboring villages, gathered to peddle merchandise. A variety of fruits, vegetables to a variety of spices, sold by traders who are average women. Kubachi village market is similar to the traditional market in Indonesia.
One of the special things when visiting the Muslim enclave in Dagestan is the appearance of a woman who is very synonymous with Muslim women. Interestingly from Kubachi Village, the Muslim women have a traditional veil called kaz.
Kubachi villagers belong to the Dargin ethnic group. Currently, there are about 3,000 residents living in the village. And for more than 10 centuries, Islam is here.
