On Friday, 13 March 2026, Maison Dawah welcomed reverts for an Iftar Gathering. It was an evening of learning, reflection, and togetherness, beginning at 17:45 and carried out in the essence of Ramadan.
Programme Highlights
Quran Exposition
Br. Sameed guided participants through the meaning and purpose of the Quran.
14 copies of Quran in different languages were displayed. (Arabic, English, French, Creole, Mandarin, Italian, Hindi, Spanish, Somali, Russian, Portuguese, German, Quran Braille for visually impaired individuals, Pen Quran)
He explained that the Quran is Allah’s guidance for all humanity, revealed in 114 chapters, and descended during Lailatul Qadr.
Reverts were invited to approach, explore, and touch the Qurans, making the experience deeply personal.
Talk on Ramadan & Islamic Values
Br. Ahamad spoke about Ramadan as a month of change and spiritual training.
He encouraged honesty, patience, and self-control.
He reminded us to avoid sins such as lying and anger, and to embrace Dawah.
He also highlighted the status of women in Islam, stressing that men—fathers, husbands, sons, and brothers—carry the responsibility of protecting and honouring women.
The event continued with Iftar, followed by Maghrib prayer in Jamaat, and concluded with dinner shared in fellowship. Gifts as sign of goodwill were also given to the guests present. The programme ended smoothly around 19:45.
Alhamdulillah, everything unfolded successfully by Allah’s Will. The gathering reminded us of the Prophet Muhammad’s (pbuh) words:
“Whoever observes fasts during the month of Ramadan out of sincere faith, and hoping to attain Allah’s rewards, then all his past sins will be forgiven.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 38)
Reflections and Feedback from Reverts and a Non-Muslim Guest:
The reverts expressed heartfelt joy, saying “Alhamdulillah, nous in bien content, nous bien satisfait in passe ene bon moment ensemble”. They were thankful for the opportunity to experience how Muslim families observe fasting and organise iftar/namaz/dinner, and described the evening as both uplifting and memorable.
There was also a non‑Muslim guest present, who warmly appreciated being invited. She shared how thankful she was for the opportunity, noting that the programme was very enriching and that she was “content qui invite bann non-muslim, mone gagne l’opportunité pour observer et vivre couma ban musulmans garde carême et casse carême.” For them, it was a rare and meaningful experience to witness the essence of Ramadan firsthand.
This evening was not just about breaking fast—it was about building bonds, strengthening faith, and being grateful to Allah swt for the blessings of Ramadan, Alhamdulillah.
