Ramadan Interfaith Iftars Unite S. Africans

Sharing the festivities of the holy month with the wider community, the Union of Arab Communities of South Africa has organization an interfaith iftar which gathered several religious groups to celebrate special Ramadan night in Johannesburg.

"We organized the interfaith ifar to create unity between Muslims and other faith groups in the area," Union Chairman Abdeslam Habiballah Ahmed told Anadolu Agency on Tuesday, July 1.

Organized in Johannesburg's predominantly-Muslim suburb of Mayfair, the event was attended by more than 200 people of different faiths such as Muslims, Christians and Hindus.

It was cosponsored by Union of Arab Communities of South Africa in partnership with the Pan-African Business Forum.

Ramadan, the holiest month in Islamic calendar, falls this year between Sunday, June 29, and July 28.

In Ramadan, adult Muslims abstain from food, drink, smoking and sex between dawn and sunset.

The sick and those traveling are exempt from fasting especially if it poses health risks.

Around the globe, Muslims observe Ramadan with a set of traditional rituals including family gathering at iftar, religious lessons, special evening prayer and helping the poor.
