New Zealand: Ahmadi Muslims invite Aucklanders to share Ramadan experience

“Ramadan marks a very important month and fasting is a core tenet of Islamic faith – this event gives our Non Muslim friends a chance to experience first hand how we break a fast, and to gain an understanding of some of the principles that make up the Islamic faith.”

Ramadan is one of the holiest Islamic months

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community New Zealand is inviting their Kiwi friends to their mosque in South Auckland during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. This annual event, planned for the evening of 10th June 2017, gives New Zealanders an opportunity to experience Iftar (breaking of fast), while sharing a meal with a Muslim friend and getting to understand the purpose of the Muslim fast.

“New Zealand is home to thousands of Muslims, and as our society becomes increasingly multi cultural it is imperative that we make an effort to increase understanding amongst different faiths”, says Mr Bashir Khan the National President of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at in New Zealand. “Ramadan marks a very important month and fasting is a core tenet of Islamic faith – this event gives our Non Muslim friends a chance to experience first hand how we break a fast, and to gain an understanding of some of the principles that make up the Islamic faith”.
