in the name of IFTAR FUZUL KHARCH you have to give answer in the day of judgement my show up muslim brother of dubai....

Its good that the BCF included the non muslims to the iftar party... I request whenever U invite them atleast convey the message of the CREATOR of all that exits...
Some honest hindus support hindutuva agendas cos of their ignorance of our deen, and when we muslims enlighten them, they will realise and come to know the reality of hindutuva agenda who divide the society with our ignorance...

Good luck, hope More Islamic knowledge is shared to non muslims in the future events.

masha Allah.. great event

Having iftar with hindu and christian mandem cos they are not racist and respect all religions :)

good work BCF, my dua is always with you.

Beary Cultural Forum always working for the good cause, large number of Hindus and Christians also participated in the meet this is the proof that this group always has the good intention and believes in the UNITY,
