The Lipka Tatars (also known as Lithuanian Tatars, Belarusian Tatars, Lipkowie or Muślimi) are a group of Tatars living on the lands of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania since the 14th century. They followed Sunni branch of Islam and their origins can be traced back to the descendant states of the Mongol Empire of Genghis Khan - the White Horde, the Golden Horde, the Crimean Khanate and Kazan Khanate. In the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth they initially served as a noble military caste but later they became urban-dwellers known for their crafts, horses and gardening skills. Throughout centuries they resisted assimilation and kept their traditional lifestyle. There are still small groups of Lipka Tatars living in today's Belarus, Lithuania, Ukraine and Poland.

Towards the end of the 14th century, these Tatars were granted asylum and given noble status and land in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by Vytautas the Great and settled in the lands of present-day Belarus and Lithuania. From the very beginning of their settlement in Lithuania they were known as the Lipkas. While maintaining their Islamic religion they united their fate with that of the mainly Christian Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. From the Battle of Grunwald onwards the Lipka Tatar light cavalry regiments participated in every significant military campaign.

    The Bible as you know it is not writtin by God but by men.

    A big part of it is fiction, for exemple Christmas ıs originqting from the Germanic joelfeast

    and the date 25 decembre is decieded by Constantine.

  • Mashallah. Kudos to Professor Selim Chazbijewicz. Polish Muslims are a good example and role model to Muslims living inside Western societies across the world.

  • May Allah bless all Turkic people around the world.

  • 75% OF MUSLIM CONVERTS LEAVE ISLAM WITHIN 3 YEARS

    But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.

    John 1:12

    For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

    John 3:16

    For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

    Ephesians 2:8-9

  • I co?

    The Polish have been religious for a long time. Now that they have a secure country they are developing or re-developing their identity and are discarding the need for religious beliefs.

    None of my friends are religious any more and laugh about the ludicrous Muslim claims of their inerrant and perfect book, simply because they are educated.
