Some very positive initiatives have been held this Ramadan.
The Canadian Turkish Friendship Community members have been holding Iftar gatherings across the city and inviting friends from other faith groups to attend. An excellent initiative that should be adopted by the entire Muslim community.
The Faith of Life Network recently held an interfaith Iftar gathering, in which religious leaders, as well as, civic and political leaders were in attendance. Another great project that should be done by Mosques in the city who should set aside one day during Ramadan for such a program.
The Muslim Association of Canada also held an Iftar gathering at the Ontario Legislature. Politicians and Muslims broke bread together in the hallowed sanctuary of Queen’s Park. A much needed initiative that helps in normalizing the Muslim presence in Canada.
MuslimServ has been collecting donations from Muslims and purchasing halal chicken which is then donated to the Daily Bread Food Bank. This single initiative, if it continues to grow, can define how others understand Ramadan. Imagine the possibilities …. and support this project.
To the organizers of these projects – Thank You!
