Mass Iftar Dinner: Durban - All Welcome

Mass Iftar Dinner: Durban - All Welcome

Date: 2019-05-31

Durban's Muslim community has responded to the cry for much needed global peace by inviting communities of all religious denominations to share in the gracious spirit of Ramadaan with a Mass iftar (breaking of fast). The term "breaking bread" is a universal metaphor for peace. It is hoped that this act of sharing meals will provide an opportunity for people to interact with each other in a way that will add positively to the conversations around peace, tolerance and goodwill.

Therefore, a special invitation is extended to family units to attend and experience this unique event.

This event is hosted solely for the purpose of promoting interfaith peace, unity, respect, tolerance and social-coexistence. High profile community and religious leaders of different faiths will address the gathering. The event will conclude with a universal prayer for peace.

The Mass Iftar dinner will be held on 2 June 2019 at the Kingsmead Cricket Stadium from 3 to 6pm. Meals and refreshments have been generously sponsored by the Muslim community. Prayer facilities, parking and security have been arranged. This event is an initiative of the Ummah Convention.

It is hoped that the citizens of Durban will respond to this invitation with the great enthusiasm and spirit that our beautiful city is renowned for.
