Each night of Ramadan, thousands of pilgrims come together to pray and break the fast at the holy shrine of Imam Reza, in Mashhad, Iran. It’s the world’s largest iftar, a meal eaten after sunset by Muslims observing Ramadan to break their daily fast. Cooking for such a crowd starts early and goes long. Over 400 volunteer chefs arrive at 5 a.m. to make culinary magic from 2 tons of fresh vegetables, 3 tons of meat and 4 tons of rice.

Sometimes I wonder how the world would be if so many people ate this way together more of the time
Allah offers them food and thus world grows enough for everyone but some people are hoarding the stock to make people servant of people to rely on people not god I say who gave life will give food that's a muslim thinking
There's a manner where we should finish everything on the plate no matter a single rice is left behind.
If only this could be done for the homeless….
That's pretty cool tbh
You can glorify it as much as you want but shit like this was the reason I left my country, there's nothing interesting about this
"fasting" XD
You know I have a question. What happens if a person is hypoglycemic and cannot skip a meal? Are they excused or do they still fast and just try to survive?
Cooking is also hard when you can't do tasting. They have to go by look, smell, and touch.
In the City of Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia,they also held a special iftar during Ramadhan at the Merdeka Square.Many tourists join in the iftar.
Well they were work up a real sweat chucking people from rooftops….😮
Allah bless the faithful ❤
I thought it was revolting to see that little girl at the end with her swathed in cloth.
Wow. They eat more meat than vegetables.
Feeding the rich with free labor lololol
Fasts the whole day and eats like hell after sun down.
it would be great if they feed the poor people 😂😂😂😂 deyum religion not only muslim knows how to fest with there imaginary god
And wake up neighbours in the middle of night 🎉
There is no God except Allah.
Getting paid for the time somehow. Stop the cap
Heard about golden temple? Serves 100K people everyday.
Holy cities in Islam are 3 and this is none of them.
That's so great. They're so peaceful. Lololololol
Pedos all
long live good people
Next meal they should make them is pork chops with mashed 😋
WOW that's a lot of labor. That also means save the fresh baked cookies until AFTER sundown! I accidently tried to give my neighbors cookies first thing in the morning on Ramadan. facepalm I know better now; and deliver them in the evening!
That's Nothing compared to Mekkah's iftar
