Iftars & Eid Celebrations

IFTARS

For many revert Muslim brothers and sisters, this may be the first time they practice fasting and, therefore, feeling a sense of dubiousness and apprehension is part of the territory. Where as some of the reverts may have been fasting for man years and are at a level where they can provide support to others. We understand that for some new reverts, a level of worry will arise because they may not be in the best of personal circumstances, or the practicalities of fasting are an issue. Examples may include living at home with a family who is not Muslim (where you are not openly practicing), or where your family and friends are not yet aware that you have become a Muslim. Ramadan can almost become a period of loneliness and isolation for someone who doesn’t know where to go for support.

Thus in Ramadan, we host iftars in our MAS Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island Centers. These are excellent opportunities to get to know other reverts in the area, your local Islamic Center, the management team of the masjid, and also our Reverts Reconnect Team.

EID EXTRAVAGANZAS

MAS NY Reverts Reconnect Department organizes annual Eid Extravaganzas for new Muslims and the entire community. We do this to provide new Muslims with a space to enjoy the two annual Eid’s and never have to celebrate them alone. We provide entertainment, prominent speakers, food, and much more. This really allows them to feel the joy that other born Muslims feel during these two special times of the year, thereby staying connected with the traditions of Islam.
