 Riyadh, (IINA) - As spirituality reaches its peak at the end of Ramadan, 644 expatriates have reverted to Islam during the holy month in Saudi Arabia, pronouncing Shahada or declaration of faith at a Riyadh mosque, according to media reports.
“In Ramadan, our guests see and witness themselves the spirit of generosity, brotherhood and integration through offering daily meals to those who are fasting,” Sheikh Nooh Al-Qurain, the head of the Islamic Da’wah center in Batha.
"Passersby and even strangers are invited to join others in their Iftar.
“We even invite non-Muslims to join the Iftar,” he said. “I encourage people, companies and sponsors to introduce the beautiful teachings of Islam by treating the workers with respect and value.”
Sheikh Nooh said that nearly 4,000 foreigners have reverted to Islam through his center from various nationalities since the last Ramadan.
The latest group of 21 expatriates pronounced the Shahadah at a mosque in Dhubbat district, bringing the number of expatriates who embraced Islam through that mosque to 74 since the beginning of the fasting month.
The increasing number of reverts was reported despite increasing anti-Muslim attacks.
The good manners of Muslims were the key to correct misconceptions about their faith, the Imam of the grand mosque in Dubhat district, Malaz, Sheikh Turky Qelaiwy, said.
