Eating free iftar at mosque is fantastic, but providing meal to a fasting person is rewarding act. There is a tradition of providing meal to fasting persons in Masjid e Nabwi and Masjid Haram. Both mosques host this tradition entire year.
Dubai is also on foot step of those mosques. It host 30K people at Iftaar.

Whatever you say either Ramazan or Ramadan. You fast... Do you like to host or would you like to attend public iftar.
Please share your opinion.
I love to host !!! I get a rush out of feeding people. the only problem though is, I barely get time to spend with my guests because I get so caught up in making arrangements.
last year I hosted a big girls/kids only iftar (around 15 people) and I ended up missing out on a lot of good conversation :(
but given my living situations now, I likely won't be hosting anymore, and even if I do, it iwll be one or two people MAX.
Generally, fruit mix (chaat), date, milk (rooh afza) juice, pakoory, and rolls are common item in ifatar?
What do you eat in iftaar? What are your tradition when it comes to iftaar?
yes, all of the mentioned items are very common in iftar.
I like to do a mix of items when it comes to opening the fast and the dinner - I do both, and I wait in between. I know some people like to serve everything all at once. but I serve the opening fast part first ( the rolls, pakora etc), and then everyone pray, then serve dinner so no one has to rush to pray and can enjoy the food at their own pace.
no other real tradition I guess.. it's just that.. and when I do my iftar gatherings, I would do one big one for family, and one big one for girls only friends, and well, in the past, a mix of our (me and my ex) friends all together
We also do iftar followed by prayer and then dinner.
Alhamdolillah.
Aftar in masjid is a great blessing for mufta-khor pplz like holy. All we need to do is try a different masjid every other day. Koi pehchan bhi nai pata
now who is inviting over?
Can holy be the one you are inviting over for Iftar?
That will be holy 's roza kushai and holy’s grand entrance will be like…

Though we don't attend public iftar parties, yet we do have this tradtion of inviting family members for iftar dinner every year... We also send over packed food stuff to neighbours and mosques regularly throughout Ramadan...

MashaALLAH ye culture tou bht aam hn yaha aksar masajd mai ye ahtimam hota hn Ramdan k mubarak maheny mai..
Great thread. :k:
We’ve a daily iftar at our masjid that’s sponsored by different people, organizations and community. Usually one family sponsors everyday but over the weekends where larger crowd shows up its mostly a bigger group who finance it. Like this weekend it’ll be ICNA/helping hand and last weekend it’ll be bengali community to host it.
This is pretty much every masjid in NY. Infact, there is one masjid here which is famous for its lavish iftar and the unique thing is it doesnt ask for anyone to sponsor it. Rather does everything on its own. They have a very large kitchen and its own chef. So everything cooks there for a couple of hundred people everyday.
In manhattan/nyc masjids its mostly done collectively. thats due the very large number of visitors/workers/students etc.
However, other than masjids there are iftars organized by several groups in nyc and more on a social basis. I think there is a calendar for it as well so if someone is visiting here, I can share it with them.
Long back, I met a couple of Pakistani families who told me that they practically dont turn on their stove in Ramadan. And I died laughing in both surprise and shock, lol. What they told me they were doing is that doing iftar in masjid and then also make the boxes for sehri from there. So they never have to cook at home whole month long 
That Pakistani couple is misusing Iftari. Apparently this couple is still living in mental age of student life.
I’ve volunteered at mosques and served iftaar but not anymore, i get too hungry waiting for my turn. 
Yeah feeding the hungry peoples in Ramzan or even out of Ramzan is loved by Allah. So v should try to do as much as v can.
What kind of food you usually eat in iftaar?
I don’t attend public iftar. Even in haramain I avoid it because we don’t know whether the person hosting is doing it with the intention of sadaqa or not and we can’t take sadaqa.
I like contributing in hosting iftar because it’s very rewarding in terms of sawab as well as contentment.
I’ve noticed that during ramadhan, people are more giving and more forgiving. If only we carried 50% of that out of Ramadhan too, the world would be a better place. It’s amazing to see people trying to help each other during ramadhan. I miss the ramadhan vibes :hinna:
