During the Iftar dinner at the White House, Donald Trump also prayed for peace in the entire world, including the Middle East. "Ramadan is a season of spiritual reflection and self restraint. Everyday during the sacred month, the Muslims fast from dawn to dusk deepening their focus on prayer and devotion to God. Then Muslims all over the world join families and friends each night and give thanks to the almighty, break their fast with Iftar dinner. We all looking for peace for entire world," President Trump said.
Meanwhile, the traditional iftar celebration marks the conclusion of daily fasting during Ramadan, culminating in Eid-ul-Fitr. The festival will be celebrated on March 31.
