On 27 March 2025, Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya Norway hosted an Iftar event under the theme “Iftar with a Muslim”, attended by around 200 people, including Minister of International Development Åsmund Aukrust, Pastor Annette Dreyer from Haugerud, representatives from Gurdwara Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji in Oslo, as well as a diverse group of guests from various communities.
The programme included a presentation about Ramadan, a video showcasing a typical day for a Muslim during the fasting month, and speeches from Minister of International Development Åsmund Aukrust; Sadr Majlis Khuddam-ul-Ahmadiyya Norway, Unib Sarwar Sahib, and the Amir of Jamaat-e-Ahmadiyya Norway, Ch Zahoor Ahmad Sahib. Sadr Sahib highlighted that this was the first time they hosted such an Iftar programme and warmly welcomed everyone. He expressed hope that this would become a tradition that strengthens the community and fosters understanding between people of different backgrounds. After the programme, an Iftar meal was served, followed by a tour of the mosque, where they learnt more about the values and beliefs of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat. The event received excellent feedback from the guests.
