By means of iftar dinners, donations, fundraising, neighborhood, and gathering, I’ve seen the generosity and love of Muslims don’t have any restrict. The iftar final week wasn’t simply concerning the meals on our plates or the heat shared between these of us within the room. We’d gathered for an additional motive, too: Collectively, we raised cash for a Muslim girls’s shelter in New York. A Gazan girl lately arrived, eight months pregnant, after relentless bombing by the Israeli navy.
Pillars Fund, a number one nonprofit that amplifies the narratives, abilities, and management of Muslims, co-hosted this iftar. Kashif Shaikh, the cofounder and president, shared a number of phrases about why internet hosting iftars with Muslims and non-Muslims has been “an necessary organizing endeavor in serving to construct solidarity and neighborhood—notably throughout a troublesome time for our Muslim siblings in Palestine and Sudan.”
