Via @arabworldmedia - We spoke about Ramadan earlier in the week and we are now three days in of the 30 day fast. At sunset, after a day of fasting Muslims break the fast with a meal called 'Iftar'. The meal starts simply with dates and possibly a drink of water or milk, taking part in the Maghrib prayer, the fourth of five daily prayers, is what follows and then it is when the real eating can begin. Many communities and families will lay out a glorious, delicious Iftar spread including all types of dishes. It is a meal that varies widely depending on where in the world you are and for many families it has taken on new traditions from new cultures and fuses many different flavours creating a truly diverse table of food. This time of day is a celebration for Muslims as they come together as families and communities, sharing food with one another and spending time together. Do you have a Muslim community near you? Maybe you could pray specifically for the Muslims in your area or if your feeling really brave ask your Muslim neighbours what they like to eat for their Iftar? Maybe they'll extend you an invitation to this fabulous sounding meal and an opportunity for you to learn more about them #rethinkingramadan. . #ramadan #iftar #culture #food #travel #missions #impactmissions #faith #gritandvirtue #calledtobecreative #community #pray30days #30daysofprayer
