[@Sultan-gr5tk]

@Hikma History, I believe the correct pronunciation of the term is "Moreed" instead of "Murid" as Sheikh Shamil was their Imam or Pir (پیر) in Tasawwuf and his followers were his Moreeds (مرید). The same terms that we use in Afghanistan.

[@HikmaHistory]

Gotta look into that; I hope you are right though, the way I pronounce the word is much more difficult than the way you are suggesting.

IMAM SHAMIL fought for 24 years and 10 months. His sister, so that her body would not be touched by the Russians, threw herself off a cliff and died. He gave one of his sons to the Russians to save his soldiers; after many years he returned and died in Dagestan. Dozens of Avar villages in Dagestan were burned for their obscurity. Another son, after the end of the war in Dagestan, moved to Turkey and became the head of the Dagestan regiment in Turkey. Truly, this is a legendary person. May Allah forgive his sins.
