The holy month of Ramadan came to an end for the vast and vibrant local Muslim communities last week. The annual observance of Ramadan is regarded as one of the five pillars of Islam and lasts twenty-nine to thirty days, from one sighting of the crescent moon to the next. Fasting from dawn to sunset with the predawn meal is referred to as suhur, and the nightly feast that breaks the fast is called iftar.
The community of the Moslem Mosque raised money for Sadaqat al-Fitr, a charity donation that went to food for families in need, as well as raising money for gift bags for the neighbours of the Mosque. Pictured are the children of the Mosque with Iman Hysni giving out the gifts. Photo: Supplied
