It is a time when our community comes together to support one another and share in its blessings.”

“In Secunderabad, our members gather at Saifee Masjid in RTC Colony, Trimulgherry, and other centres in the city for congregational prayers. Dedicated committees have been formed to oversee daily religious activities, coordinate iftar meals, and ensure cleanliness and waste management within and around community facilities,” added Shakir.
