For Canadian Muslims, second pandemic Ramadan is a time of hope and sadness by Jacob Serebrin, The Canadian Press Posted Apr 12, 2021 4:00 am EDT Last Updated Apr 12, 2021 at 4:14 am EDT MONTREAL — Bilal Abdul Kader, president and founder of the As-Salam mosque in downtown Montreal, said his mosque has been serving meals during the holy month of Ramadan for 15 years. The Iftar evening meal, when Muslims break the daily Ramadan fast, has offered a chance for mosque members to come together and share food with the broader community and people in need, he said in a recent interview. Iftar “has a religious aspect, a social dimension, and of course, a personal sense, because when Muslims share their meals with someone else, they get double the reward of the fast itself,” Abdul Kader said.
