SOLO, Indonesia (MNTV) — The Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Solo city of Indonesia organizes iftar meals for more than 10,000 people every day in Ramadan, reports The National.
The mosque also organizes a series of activities for more than 12,000 Muslims on a daily basis, including religious lectures as well as Quran recitation competitions.
Emirati charitable and humanitarian institutions are helping to organise the iftar, says Abu Dhabi media office.
Around 20 volunteers from the Solo community and local students oversee the Iftar distribution and other Ramadan activities and events at the mosque.
“The different activities organised by the Sheikh Zayed Mosque board of directors aim to celebrate the holy month of Ramadan meaningfully and to strengthen the ties between the Emirati and Indonesian peoples,” says Dr Sultan Faisal Al Rumaithi, director general of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque Centre in Solo.
It has become one of the region’s most prominent Islamic landmarks, fostering Islamic studies and culture while celebrating the strong fraternity between Indonesia and the UAE, Al Rumaithi added.
The mosque, named after the founding father of the UAE, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, was inaugurated in November 2022.
