We talk that we are muslim country BUT we did not explore more about the history, life and challenges that the muslim community in the world. If we explore about life of muslim community may be we can develop muslim country and society at par with others in all aspects of economy, living style, food security, science and technology.

Kruszyniany [kruʂɨˈɲanɨ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Krynki, within Sokółka County, Podlaskie Voivodeship, in north-eastern Poland, close to the border with Belarus.


The village has a population of 160. In the past, it was primarily a Lipka Tatar settlement. Up until this day, the Tatars still remain as the only minority in the village. The Tatars are Sunni Muslims. Sites of interest in the village include a wooden mosque from the 18th century (one of the two oldest in Poland), a Muslim cemetery and an Eastern Orthodox cemetery with an Orthodox church.
