Hide AdNadeem Mir, Chair of Calderdale Council of Mosques, said: “During Ramadan, the mosques across Calderdale have raised money to help those most in need.
"We have supported the homeless and those suffering poverty in Calderdale and abroad.”
He added: “Eid is all about children and families, sharing gifts and socialising.
"It is not just about your own family but making sure families that don’t have the funds to celebrate Eid are given money to buy new clothes and gifts. This allows them to celebrate this special day together.

Hide Ad"We achieve this by mosques collecting a prescribed amount of money from each abled Muslim prior to Eid and donating it to those in need.
"Amid the many global crises, I pray the Almighty eases the suffering across the world and brings peace.
"Wishing you all Eid Mubarak.”
