In the upcoming Holy Ramadan, the expatriate businessman, Mujibur Rahman Milon is going to take the great initiative of providing generous Iftar to the Fasting peoples with dates, water, juice and other bakery items. This will be provided more than 100 Fasting peoples daily under this great initiative. This Iftar ceremony is exceptional for those who cannot reach their destination timely before Iftar time.

This Iftar program will be continued in 30 spots of Dhaka City throughout month of Ramadan. A group of volunteers from VoiceAsian.news, the only mouthpiece of the Bengali community in Asia, will work to implement this great initiative of Mujibur Rahman Milon. They will be at their designated spot after Asar prayer every day and hand over the Iftar items on time.

When asked why this initiative, Mujibur Rahman Milon said that although there is a desire of many people, due to lack of manpower/ lack of proper management, it is not possible to offer Iftar to the fasting people every day, So this is my small initiative for the satisfaction of Allah and I hope to continue this great work throughout this upcoming Holy Ramadan . Breaking the fast is a special act of the believer and in exchange for this special deed, Almighty Allah forgives all his servants during this auspicious month of Holy Ramadan.

Another sunnah of iftar to be noted is to break iftar with dates. Hazrat Salman Ibn Amer (RA) said, The Prophet (SAW) said, when one of you breaks his fast, he should break his fast with dates first & if he does not get dates, then let him break his fast with water. Because water is pure. (Musnad Ibn Abi Shaiba-Musnad Ahmad-Sahih Ibn Khuzaima).

Another hadith of the Messenger of Allah , Hazrat Zayd Ibn Juhani (R.A.) narrates, the Messenger (S.A.W.) said, ‘Whoever breaks the fast for a fasting person, he will be rewarded like the fasting person; However, the reward or goodness of the fasting person will not be reduced at all. (Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, Nasa’i).
