As Muslims in Uganda observe the holy month of Ramadan, Islamic scholars are urging Muslims to provide Iftar the meal used to break the daily fast highlighting its deep spiritual and social significance.

Religious leaders say that feeding someone who is fasting allows the giver to share in the reward of the fast without reducing the fasting person's blessings.

In a month when good deeds are multiplied, this act offers believers "exponential spiritual profit," enabling them to gain merit through those they feed.

Providing Iftar also promotes empathy and mercy, ensuring that those who cannot afford a meal are not left hungry.

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that even a single date, a sip of water, or a small drink grants the same reward, making the practice accessible to all.

Scholars add that sharing Iftar strengthens community ties, fosters social unity, and brings divine blessings into homes.

Mosques and community centers across Uganda continue to organize daily Iftar gatherings, encouraging generosity, compassion, and togetherness throughout the holy month.
