During the holy month of Ramadan, the Bosnian community in Qatar came together to provide iftar meals to over 1,200 workers in Abū Nakhlah area, as a demonstration of brotherhood and humanity. The event was made possible through a generous contribution from Bosnian residents in Qatar and in collaboration with Wa’hab, a local company that aims to reduce food wastage.
Vahid Suljic, the project manager of the Bosnian community, highlighted the significance of volunteering and communal good, stating, "There are a million reasons why we should help one another. It’s beyond amazing when people from all different walks of life come together for a noble cause.”
The Bosnian community takes pride in its efforts to deliver the greater good to society, and Ramadan is a unique opportunity to demonstrate the importance of charity work and its benefits to the community.
Seid Halilcevic, a member of the Bosnian community, emphasised the importance of involving children in such activities to teach them the value of communal good and the belief in things larger than themselves, an essential trait in today’s world. "Ramadan is a month of blessings from Allah. We want to share the blessings we have received from our Lord with our brothers who are in need,” said Halilcevic.
Vahid Suljic stressed the importance of serving not only during Ramadan but throughout the year. "If we all pitch in, we’d be able to help more deserving families. Hopefully, we will remember those people in our prayers and do our best to assist them not only during Ramadan but all year.”
The Bosnian community’s efforts to serve society are commendable and set an excellent example for others to follow. By promoting communal good, they have demonstrated the true spirit of Ramadan and the value of coming together to help those in need.
