As the holy month of Ramadan approaches on June 18, 2015, Muslim families across the country will be gathering together in the evenings for iftar, the traditional breaking of the daily fast. And they want you to join them.
Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama`at Canada is launching a national campaign this week dubbed "Fast with a Muslim Friend" to encourage non-Muslim Canadians to participate in Ramadan alongside their Islamic compatriots.
In a statement, the organization said they hoped that by sharing the Ramadan experience "the community also hopes that this campaign will help remove any misconceptions about Islam, and bridge gaps that may exist amongst Canadians."
They added that the idea behind fasting for Ramadan is to "teach self-control, discipline, and inspires awareness of those who are less fortunate." Then at night, the fast is broken with the iftar dinner.
