Ramadan 2020 might be more challenging than previous years in light of the COVID-19 situation, but we’re grateful to welcome this blessed month again! As we prepare to fast, perform more acts of ibadah at home while spending time with our loved ones, there’s a question that we ask every year - what are we having for iftar?
