Ramadan Tent Project

#OpenIftarAtTate was a beautiful milestone - truly uplifting to break fast together on the Day of Arafat, the eve of #EidAlAdha. Our gratitude to all our guests for coming together to share in the spirit of this blessed day so unreservedly.
JazakakhAllah khayran to our hosts @Tate Tate Britain, collaborators Something & Son​, commercial partners Al Rayan Bank​, charity partners Safe Passage​ and food donors Muslim World League London Office & Chit Chaat Chai​, without whom it could not have come to fruition.
EID MUBARAK, once again, from the #RTPFamily, to you and yours!

#EidMubarak from the #RTPfamily to you and yours! 💚
#EidulAdha, the sacrifice it includes, is not simply a festival of food, meat-eating. It is the spirit of sacrifice and the memory of Ibrahim (A.S)’s self-surrender that ought to shine through the ritual as it is carried out. And so, on this day, let us celebrate the surrender of self to our Creator. - May Allah SWT grant one and all a beautiful day, filled with much joy and love; may He make us one of those that He showers His mercy upon, granting us forgiveness for our transgressions, acceptance of our duas, and a heart that carries forth our love for Him and his creation, inshAllah.

Join us today, on the Day of Arafat, for another Sunnah Fast - #OpenIftarAtTate Britain - the first iftar in the @Tate's 121 year history! We are delivering this event in collaboration with Something & Son, as part of their ‘A Common Ground’ exhibition.
Our speakers:
Maria Balshaw - Director & Chief Executive, Tate... Sagheer Malik - Head of Retail Asset Sales, Al Rayan Bank Mona Mahmoud - Safe Passage Ali Omar Ermes - Artist Abdul Elias - Artist, Something & Son

The Day of #Arafat is upon us, 9th #DhulHijjah, the day on which Allah perfected His religion 💚⛰️
As our sisters and brothers immerse themselves in remembrance of the Almighty, repentance before Him, on the plains of #Arafat, let us do so wherever in the world we may be, inshAllah.
May we all be in receipt of His mercy, find ourselves absolved of our sins, inshAllah 💚✨

Eid Mubarak from the RTP Open Iftar family to you and yours!
May Allah SWT grant you all a beautiful day, filled with much joy and love, may He accept our fasts and prayers from this blessed month, and allow us to take forward and implement all of the goodness we have learnt and been inspired by, ameen.
On this blessed day of Eid, where many of us will be spending the day with family and loved ones, let us take time to remember and make du'aa for all those who spend this day... in solitude, those whose hearts are filled with pain, those who face oppression and injustice at present, and have in the past.
May the Almighty provide all with peace, strength, and freedom, and may He grant us the ability to help those in need, and make us of those who are sincere and stand for justice and truth in all matters, ameen.
Have a blessed day, inshAllah. Love, the Open Iftar team.

Tonight was my first experience at Ramadan Tent Project, I really enjoyed it. Thank you so much for organising such beautiful event and having guest such Tarik Ramadan. The people are lovely and generous.

May Allah rewards for all your work and contribution.

This project is a great initiative that reflects a great community spirit. It brings people from different backgrounds, different religions and different communities to see only the human side of everyone.

Great thanks to all the volunteers and charities that contributed to the Ramadan Tent Project. Special thanks to Omar :)

Peace

This is where you feel the spirit of Ramadan! Huge thanks to the volunteers and organisers, everything works great!

Such an awesome experience. God Bless you for all your efforts.

Nice evening, people from all walks of life, muslims and non muslims alike bringing the community together which is what Ramadan is all about. Reminder yes sometimes we find fasting hard, but it's no excuse to stop dawah and improve ourselves inshallah. Ameen.

MashaAllah!!!! One of the experiences that everyone from any faith should try. Thanks to all the people involved, and may God reward you for your great work.

MashaAllah I have yet to attend one of these open iftaars but honestly what I've heard and seen from friends and social media... it's amazing! Such a great yet simple initiative, simply breaking bread with one another with the doors wide open for anyone and everyone. The execution, the online presence, the feedback is all just phenomenal! Keep up the good wok and may Allah SWT reward you all for your hard work, your good intentions and the endless efforts made to spread what Islam is about and in uniting the community, ameen :)

Masha Allah what an amazing evening. Wasn't sure about attending as these things can be chaos but job well done. Amazing to see everyone come together like this.

I've been intending to come for a few years now and finally had the pleasure, great evening to share our breakfast with new and interesting people while also have an insight in new topics or discussions. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and great to see it all eco friendly :)

I went for the first time last night and mashallah it was an absolutely amazing experience.

I think it is a great idea, bringing people together from all cultures/backgrounds to break fasting with you each evening. We should all be able to live peacefully together with an understanding of others and our own needs! This project needs to be shared as a positive event. There are too many negative attitudes, well done to all of you. x

I hope to come n join u insha Allah this year n bring my mum too who is non Muslim to enjoy the food n atmosphere
