UK mosque invites non-Muslims to share free meals during Ramazan

Mosque will provide free meals to thousands during this month

A mosque in Cardiff has taken the initiative to invite non-Muslims for a free meal during the holy month of Ramazan.

The initiative was taken by Bridges for Communities, a charity working to increase understanding through communication between people of different faiths.

A nurse, Sarah Evans, who works at the University Hospital of Wales is one of the organisers for the initiative. Sarah told Wales Online that approximately 150 places were available for non-Muslims to come in and have free meals at the Darul Isra Mosque in the upcoming weeks of Ramazan.

The mosque's estimates providing free meals to thousands during the month where Muslims fast from sehri time to iftar.



Another member of the mosque, Mohammed Alamgir said "The Sharing Ramadan meals are now in their sixth year here but horrific events that took place just four hours away show the importance of having such opportunities to bring communities together. It reminds us that those who commit acts of violence and indiscriminate murder belong to no faith."

The mosque's initiative comes at a time when Muslim communities across the UK are fearing reprisals after a suicide bombing killed 22 people at the Manchester Arena during an Ariana Grande concert

Representatives of the Muslim community have strongly condemned the attack and offered support in helping crowdfunding campaigns to help raise money for the victims of the blast.

However, despite public condemning of such attacks by the Muslim community at large, various reprisals have begun against Muslims in the UK.
