Sep 03, 2010

The Zakat Foundation of America (ZF), with support from Bridgeview's Mosque Foundation and volunteers from the Chicago-land area are providing daily iftar-dinners for approximately 250 to 300 people per day at six Chicago-land mosques during the entire month of Ramadan. This is the fifth Ramadan during which the ZF and its partners have provided daily iftars-dinners at local mosques.

"It is a good opportunity for Muslims to share the blessings of Ramadan while strengthening the bond between neighbors,"î" says Social Service Director, Sheryl B. In Islamic tradition, the Prophet Muhammad is to have said that the one who goes to bed while his neighbor is hungry is not a true Muslim.

In the USA, ZF and its partners will also sponsor iftar-dinners in New York, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Nevada, California, Michigan and Minnesota during the holy month of Ramadan.

ZF continues to provide hot iftar dinner, food packages, and other necessary goods to those in need worldwide. Due to emergency conditions, flood victims in Pakistan are given additional meals this year.
