DHAKA, April 14 (Xinhua) -- Iftar is the evening meal when Muslims break their fast during Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, when Baitul Mukarram National Masjid in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka becomes a focal point of prayer and congregation for Bangladesh's capital dwellers.
Like previous years, the grand mosque has been hosting a massive nightly meal every day to cater to those abstaining from food and drink, between sunrise and sunset during Ramadan.
