2000 Iftar Meal Boxes
Over the past three days, the courtyard of Hamel Al Ghaith Mosque in Barsha Heights has been bustling with activity as more than 2000 iftar meal boxes are distributed daily to residents of Dubai, both Muslim and non-Muslim alike.
Iftar Charity Meal Box Included
Each iftar box contains a variety of delicious and nutritious items, such as fresh salad, fruit, and mandi – a traditional rice dish with meat. Nutrient-rich beans are also included to balance the diet, along with a delectable dessert to satisfy everyone’s sweet cravings. Dates and water are provided for breaking the fast, while a serving of laban, a refreshing yoghurt drink, completes the meal.

Q: Who oversees the distribution of the Iftar Boxes?
A: A volunteer overseeing the distribution emphasized that people of all faiths are welcome to partake in the meal. The meals are prepared in a kitchen, packed, and transported to the venue by trucks. They are then arranged for everyone to sit together and break their fast.
After iftar, volunteers promptly clean the area to prepare for the Isha and Taraweeh prayers, accommodating the faithful.
Q: How Ramadan Food Box Distribution Starts and Managed?
A: The volunteer described the process, stating that work begins after the Zohr prayer at 2:30 pm. The parking lot is blocked off, and mats are laid on the ground. The iftar boxes are then arranged in ten rows, each accommodating 200 people.
Delivery rider Amir Mahmood expressed his gratitude, saying,
“The generosity of the government and the people of Dubai ensures we have a delicious iftar meal without worry.” He also highlighted the significance of government officials joining them for iftar, making everyone feel special.
A Nigerian resident, Allan Abube said;
This campaign aims to unite people of different nationalities in Dubai, promoting inclusivity and a sense of belonging. “No matter where you come from or what you believe, everybody is welcomed”
Abube shared his positive experience, noting how he was warmly invited to break the fast with Muslim brothers, despite being Christian. He felt treated with utmost respect and hospitality.
Q: What organizations are collaborating on the Ramadan in Dubai campaign?
A: Organized by the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department (IACAD) in collaboration with the Community Development Authority (CDA), this initiative is part of the Ramadan in Dubai campaign.
