Dubai, UAE – The Islamic Information centre, a main branch of Dar Al Ber Society, has run an array of activities during the holy month of Ramadan to enlighten people, particularly new Muslims, about the tolerance of Islam.

Abdullah Ali bin Zayed Al Falasi, Executive Director of Dar Al Ber, said the Centre ran a very informative lecture on the virtues and rulings of Ramadan in English and Chinese during the holy month.

“The IIC also organised an Iftar tent for new Muslims where 200 free Iftar meals were being served on a daily basis, let alone several cultural programs that targeted the labour camps of Dubai.”
