00:00Ramadan is almost over and our Muslim brothers and sisters are about to pray.
00:03The first prayer is the Iftar of the Embassy of Malaysia.
00:07It is a type of prayer that brings the Muslim community closer to each other.
00:14At the end of the month of Ramadan,
00:16which is an important part of the day for Muslims all over the world,
00:20is the traditional occasion called Iftar.
00:24Iftar is a word in Arabic
00:27which means the eating of Muslims in order to stop their fasting.
00:33This is done every night
00:36after they perform their fasting from the rising to the setting of the sun.
00:42This is the time when people gather together to pray
00:47and share food with family and friends.
00:51Because of this,
00:52an Iftar was organized by the Embassy of Malaysia in the Philippines
00:56for those in the media industry.
01:12Iftar is not only the time when Muslims can eat
01:16after the whole day of fasting.
01:19It is also the time for them to eat together
01:23as a community that strengthens their relationship and trust in each other.
01:49Muslims pray, of course, to seek guidance from Almighty Allah SWT.
01:56At the same time, also inculcate this peace among our families,
02:01peace among our religion, and peace among our communities.
02:05Iftar is not only a simple meal after fasting.
02:10It is also a time of faith and opportunity
02:14to thank Allah for the blessings of Ramadan.
