Some of our associates who pray from this mosque told us that there are women and families who do not have enough to share iftar; so instead of taking the meal to the city where everyone can afford, we decided to share with the people who are really in need,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Encouraging everyone especially Muslims to keep supporting the disadvantaged, Mrs. Mambo said, \u201cBeing a Muslim myself, we should not stop giving and supporting one another.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Imam of Mar\u2019wa Rah\u2019Man Mosque, Sheikh Daoud Niyigena appreciated Kigali Marriott\u2019s support for the iftar, saying that the selection of beneficiaries considered most their members in need.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe really appreciate Marriott Hotel for sharing iftar with us. It is a support and good gesture as they join us to share the meal. The one who gives iftar to somebody receives additional rewards from Allah. We are very happy and pray Allah to give you rewards for the support,\u201d he told the visitors quoting in part the Prophet Mohammed.  <\/p>\n<p>Millions of devout Muslims around the world observe the holy fasting month of Ramadhan every year. For this year, the month started on May 17 and is expected to end on June 14. During the month, Muslims observe fasting and break it at sunset.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-25696 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\"
