Samira shares on Twitter that “Black iftar is a 100% volunteer effort led by black muslim women. Literally – the hosts thought, ‘this is dope, I want to bring this to my community & city too’, & are making it happen during Ramadan, while also fasting, praying, reading Quran, working fulltime, lovin on they fam.”

“#BlackIftar was created with the intention of celebrating a daily Ramadan ritual, the sunset meal with Black Muslims & their friends.”https://t.co/YqNxaOSYpI

As Young Adult Black Muslims in Grand Rapids, we feel just as the founder of this event, Samira Abderahman felt in Chicago.That our African Diaspora Muslim community needs an event to come together and just have an open space to communicate and get to know one another #blackiftar pic.twitter.com/sWgYbfPMuC

The main purpose is to just create more friendships and bridges within our humble community. #blackiftar

So I hear people have beef with #BlackIftar and I want you to square up. Nah son. Not today. What you won't do. pic.twitter.com/5zA3bcUnbG

Some Muslims in the community have tried to shut down the idea of #Blackiftar but have been shut down, because there’s no space for that negativity!

And to any non-Black Muslims mad about #BlackIftar, shut the hell up. Y’all aren’t going to do shit. Y’all can’t fight and need to worry more about the deadly and violent harm you have caused to Black Muslims. Annoying asses. pic.twitter.com/ZsTNPdaXDF

Funny how Arabs and and Asians support Senegal in the world cup out of "Islam" but when we try doing #blackiftar and #BlackoutEID all of the sudden they're racist again.

You can’t pick and choose when to co-opt our black excellence.
