Saudi Arabia Hosts Communal Iftar for Over 1,500 at Jama Masjid During Ramzan Saudi Arabia organized a large communal iftar for more than 1,500 fasting worshippers at the historic Jama Masjid in New Delhi as part of its international Ramzan initiatives. The event was coordinated by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance through the Saudi Embassy in India under the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques’ iftar programme. Worshippers gathered in the mosque’s courtyard before sunset, where meals were distributed ahead of the Maghrib prayer. The initiative aimed to support fasting individuals and promote the spirit of unity and generosity associated with the holy month of Ramzan. The gathering was attended by the mosque’s imam and preacher, Ahmed Al-Bukhari, along with Islamic scholars and community representatives. Attendees praised the initiative, commending the Saudi government for its efforts to serve global Muslim communities. They highlighted how such humanitarian programs underscore the Kingdom’s commitment to Islamic and charitable activities while fostering solidarity and cooperation among people. Jama Masjid, built in 1656 by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, remains one of India’s largest and most prominent mosques, attracting thousands of worshippers daily, especially during Ramzan. Saudi Arabia regularly organizes similar iftar events in multiple countries each year to support Muslim communities and strengthen bonds during the sacred month.#saudi_arabia #jama_masjid #ministry_of_islamic_affairs #ahmed_al_bukhari #shah_jahan
