SHAH ALAM - After two years of being put on hold, Iftar ala Madinah @ Karangkraf returns once again to serve free meals to guests, starting from today up until April 29.

Over 500 attendees joined in breaking fast at Iftar ala Madinah @ Karangkraf tonight, the first for the whole month.

The event, which took place at Karangkraf Media Group’s office in Shah Alam, was bustling with both staff members and the public.

Around 100 volunteer staff are at the ready to assist visitors.

Project Leader Firdaus Hussamuddin said she was happy with how things turned as things ran smoothly throughout the evening.

“This is beyond my expectations, given the fact that it’s been two years since we last held this event.

“In 2018, we had thousands of attendees but that was also because there was no such thing as Covid-19 SOPs and there were booths to help attract members of the public,”

She added that the number of attendees will only increase from here on out.

Due to Covid restrictions, she said the event requires visitors to book their spots daily and register beforehand. This also helps avoid food wastage.

"Should there be leftovers after the iftar is over for the night, anyone who would like to bring home some extra meal packs may do so," she added.

To join in the fun, visitors must have completed both vaccine doses, use face masks at all times except when eating and drinking, and practice social distancing.

At the feast, women and men will be separated groups, but families and married couples will be allowed to break their fasts together.

After breaking their fasts, visitors that want to perform congregational prayers may do so but must bring their own prayer mats and prayer garments.

If you would like to break your fast Madinah style, be sure to WhatsApp or call +60192133315 to reserve a spot for yourself and your family members or friends throughout this whole month.
