 Cardiff, Wales (IINA) - A Cardiff mosque is on standby to feed 400 people every evening during the holy month of Ramadan, which started on Thursday, Wales Online news reported.
Revealing the beauty of Islam to the community, a group of Muslims have planned to make this year Ramadan pleasant to everyone by providing free daily night meal to their guests from all faiths.
The Dar Ul-Isra Mosque estimates it will serve thousands of free meals during the holy month when Muslims fast during daylight hours and then come together to eat at sunset. Volunteers at the mosque in Wyverne Road, Cathays, will serve food when the fast ends at 9.30pm each night.
Muslims and non-Muslims are being asked in to share the meal and the mosque is also expecting homeless people to join them, as they have in previous years, said community outreach manager Muhammad Alamgir Ahmed.
“This year we have three dates booked in where are expecting about 30 non-Muslim guests per night."
Ahmed hopes the move will help links with the local community and break down any cultural and religious barriers.
“Our doors are open and we would welcome the chance to show the public what really happens at Ramadan and what Muslims really believe in, how we live, and how Welsh Muslims adapt to fit in their jobs, studies and lives along with their religion.”
The meals will be cooked and served by volunteer members of the mosque some of whom are professional chefs and all of whom come from different backgrounds.
