"In Bangladesh's capital city of Dhaka the magnificent Al Mustafa Mosque has transformed into a beacon of communal harmony during Ramadan, as thousands of people from all walks of life gather daily to break their fast together. Footage captured on Thursday shows the sprawling premises hosting one of the city's largest Iftar gatherings, where devotees, labourers, rickshaw pullers, office workers, students, and the underprivileged sit side by side - a powerful display of equality. Behind the scenes, volunteers work tirelessly to prepare and distribute meals, funded entirely through charitable donations from local businesses and community members. "This mosque was built mainly for the pleasure of Allah, and every year during Ramadan, Iftar is served to the fasting people. Pedestrians, construction workers, and the poor and helpless come here to break their fast. This is basically an initiative of our group to serve the people," Rubel Rana, a local resident, stated. As evening approaches, the scene buzzes with anticipation. Long red mats are spread across every available space, and volunteers carefully arrange plates of traditional Bengali delicacies. When the call to Maghrib prayer echoes through the neighbourhood, the diverse crowd simultaneously reaches for dates and water to break their day-long fast, embodying the true spirit of Ramadan: compassion, charity, and community bonding. "It's wonderful that many people can break their fast here together. Additionally, praying in such a beautiful mosque creates a unique feeling in your heart. After every prayer, special prayers are made here, and everyone sits together to break their fast. That is why I come here. I travel from Saeed Nagar, where I am working on a project. I come here to pray and break my fast," another local, Nayem Hossain, shared. The Iftar spread typically includes chickpeas, lentil fritters, batter-fried eggplant, and sweet jilapi, accompanied by refreshing drinks. For many among the thousands - particularly daily wage earners and transients who cannot return home in time - the mosque's open invitation provides not just sustenance but a sense of belonging. The spectacular Al Mustafa Mosque has upheld this tradition for years, reinforcing that Ramadan transforms mosques from mere places of prayer into sanctuaries of sharing and unity. About 3,000 worshippers break their fast together every day in this beautiful architectural place of worship. This five-storey mosque can accommodate about 11,000 people, both men and women, praying at the same time. This year's Ramadan began on February 17 and continues until March 19."
