Masjid Bilal Udoe Hosts a Memorable Open Iftar in Commemoration of the Death Anniversary of Imam Ali (‘A)




In a heartfelt display of unity and devotion, Masjid Bilal Udoe hosted a remarkable Open Iftar on Saturday, March 22, 2025, during the blessed month of Ramadan. This event also coincided with the commemoration of the death anniversary of Imam Ali (‘A), a revered figure in Islamic history and the first cousin of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). 


The event attracted over 400 attendees from different Muslim Communities and non-Muslim community, all gathering to break their fast together in the spirit of solidarity. The Open Iftar, now a cherished tradition at the Mosque, aims to bring together diverse communities, fostering understanding and cooperation across sectarian lines. 


The evening began with an enlightening lecture delivered by Sheikh Muhammad Mubarak, the Imam of Masjid Bilal Udoe, who provided the attendees with a deep and insightful reflection on the life and legacy of Imam Ali (‘A). 


As one of the most influential and revered figures in Islamic history, Imam Ali’s life continues to inspire millions of people around the world. Sheikh Mubarak’s talk helped illuminate the profound wisdom, justice, and leadership of Imam Ali, inspiring attendees to reflect on his virtues in their own lives.



After the lecture, attendees gathered to break their fast with dates. Following the Maghrib prayer, all participants joined together in a communal Iftar meal, marking a significant moment of togetherness and mutual respect.



This event exemplified the Mosque’s commitment in promoting unity, peace, and harmony within the broader community. People from all walks of life, regardless of sect or background, were invited to partake in the spiritual occasion, a testament to the mosque’s open-door policy and inclusive spirit.


On behalf of Masjid Bilal Udoe, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who attended and contributed to the success of this gathering. A special thanks goes to the generous donors and dedicated volunteers, whose unwavering support and hard work made this occasion possible. Without their efforts, this beautiful event would not have been possible.
