To celebrate the holy month of Ramzan, the US President Donald Trump is getting ready to host an Iftar dinner at the White House next week.

As per the information from White House, the Iftar dinner is scheduled to be held on June 13. The guest list is not made available till now. Muslims around the world fast from pre-sunrise hours in the morning and ends
the fast after sunset through an evening meal called Iftar. After the Trump regime took over the reins of America, it is the first time they have decided to give an Iftar. Previous year Trump didn’t host Iftar breaking a
long-established tradition.

Former US Prez Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton were the followers of that American tradition of hosting Iftar function at the White House.

Last month Trump issued a statement marking the start of Ramzan which said that Ramadan reminds them(Americans) of the richness Muslims add to the religious tapestry of American life.

Trump’s attitude towards the Muslims was reportedly inimical. After he became President last year, Trump called for a ban on immigrants from certain Mulsim countries including Syria and Iraq. He considered them as refugees and terrorists which received much condemnation worldwide. An executive order had been signed by him which banned Muslims from several countries such as Iran, Iraq and Syria from entering the US.

Celebrating and commemorating the first revelation of Quran to Prophet Muhammad, Muslims across the world have been observing fasting from pre-sunrise hours to the post-sunset hours since May 17. In this holy month, they are vowed to do good deeds and abstain from sinful deeds.

Eid-ul-Fitr which will hopefully come on June 14 or June 15 depending on the visual sightings of the crescent moon will mark the end of Ramzan.
