Alhamdullilah, the Management of Minhaj-ul-Quran Dallas arranged Iftar dinner for the community of Dallas Fort Worth area with the passion to serve the community in all three Ashrahs (30 days of Ramazan). People from far and near came in droves to receive Allah’s blessings by joining the Iftar dinner.

The programs in the first two Ashrahs were commenced before Iftar with the recitation of the Quran followed by nasheed performed by local naat reciters including brother Maamoon, Malik Akram, Mushtaq Hussain and by a famous actor and poet Talat Iqbal. Imam Yousef Al-Agemi made collective dua for everyone before the Iftar. Shaykh Imam Aseel also made special dua for all the deceased people of the loved ones in the community at the commencement of the Third Ashrah.

Welcome gift packages were given to all the ‘Mutakifeen’ performing I’tikaf. Special Suhoor has been arranged for all the Mutakifeen and general people who stayed for Qiyam al-Layl. Several young Hufaaz from Dallas Fort Worth Community have come to lead Qiyam al-Layl. Imam Dr. Zafar Anjum also leads Salat al-Tasbeeh on odd nights.

Gifts were also given to the children and adolescents who answered the quiz questions in all three Ashrahs. Furthermore, books written by Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr. Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri, CDs and other items were placed on sale for the proceeds to Jame’ Hasan al-Basri.
