The Spiritual Direction of the Muslims of Crimea (SDMC) (Crimean Tatar: Qırım Musulmanları Diniy İdaresi, QMDİ; Russian: Духовное Управление Мусульман Крыма, ДУМК) is considered the largest Muslim organization in Ukraine. Established in 1991, it currently represents over 70 percent of all Muslims in Ukraine. It is widely regarded as a spiritual centre for Crimean Tatars. The organization publishes its own Crimean Tatar language newspaper Hidayet. The Mufti of Crimea (today Emirali Ablayev) is the head of the organization.
