Dubai Customs Distributes Iftar meals in Ramadan

AS part of its social initiatives, Dubai Customs distributed 18000 iftar meals during Ramadan. In Airport halls of Dubai Internationall Airport, Dubai Customs inspectors distributed the Iftar bags and Sahour supper to the arriving passengers. The Customs inspectors distribute the Iftar bags to passengers at sunset time (fast breaking time), and at late night (sohour time). This doesn't prevent them from working hard to finalise passengers' other travel procedures. A Customs official said, "It is also a step towards reviving the holy prophetic way (sunna) which motivates Muslim community to contribute food iftar for gaining great rewards from Allah".
