Kashmir Muslims hold world record Iftar
Championing the largest Iftar ever recorded in Asian history, a Muslim group in Kashmir has invited people for a historical fast breaking meal in India-administered district, making a new world record.
Ahmer Khan, 22-year-old Kashmiri Muslim, said that the idea of Srinagar largest iftar meal was inspired by Egypt’s successful bid to break the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest iftar spread, Indian Express reported.
Khan admitted that putting this event together has been quite a struggle, especially when it came to convincing people that this was a non-profit venture.
Around 7000 people gathered on the banks of the Dal Lake to break their fast together.
It is to mention that the previous record for the single-largest ‘Iftar’ in the world was created in Sharjah where over 3,000 devout Muslims sat over a 1.3-km-long stretch to break their daylong fast.
