Edit - updated title to reflect advice provided by ar7ist.

Read this in the Canberra times -

It's also a month of gratitude. By abstaining from food and water during the day, the faithful are reminded of those less fortunate. Each night during Ramadan, mosques and aid organisations set up tents and tables to serve free evening meals for the poor.

I did a bit of research and it appears that this is 1) available in most mosques around the world; 2) is not widely advertised and 3) generally available to everybody.

The timing of the dinner depends on when the fast is broken which will be different each day for each state.

The time for the dinner is the second last column titled "Iftar Maghrib"

Free food and drinks every evening for everyone in most of the mosques - check for local mosque or speak to any Muslim friend, neighbour or colleague for more details.

This is a great way to explore and connect to a different culture.

Ramadan Kareem to those that celebrate Ramadan.

    So we should promote all charity food events as deal too?

    I don't know. It is free, it is good, but this is not the spirit of the website. Nothing commercial about these free dinners, while Ozbargain is 'commercial-minded'. I am also not sure how it looks if mosques are swarmed by Ozbargainers looking for free meals with complete disregard of the spirit of the celebration dinners.

    Plus this is slippery-slope, like others before me have pointed out, soon we will have people posting all free meals by other religious and charity organisations. If you could buy Eneloop, or cheap flights to Bali, you probably should not take part in charity meals for the less unfortunates.

      I mostly agree with everything you said. I do think it's a great idea for muslims and non muslims to connect and share in the experience together. But some comments like "great, I'll bring the family down for a free feed" doesn't exactly sound like the targeted audience. There are these sorts of people on a lot of posts though, like the ones that make several accounts to get deals several times or try and make a good deal free with fraud. And yeah, it's more suitable for the forums.

      Though, I don't agree that it's a charity meal for the less fortunate. It's been mentioned by muslims in the post that it's not about charity, but community, sharing culture with muslims and outsiders alike, raising heavenly favour by the number of people present etc. I think a church free meal is more exclusively a charity thing, evidence in this forum suggests it's different with mosques at Ramadan.

      Very well put. People seem to forget that Ozbargain is a commercial website aimed to make money and IMO that does not mix well with charity posts.

    I posted this so that people can reach out to people to know them and not just read about them in the media. What better way to do this than to do this than over a meal.

    I knew from a start that there will be heaps of negs for this deal. Personally, I don't mind red as it's a nice colour. What I'm more disappointed in is people that post a lot of deals find the need to upvote every negative comment on this and my other deals. Obviously hate reigns.

    If there is hate in an online forum then what hope do we have as people to connect?

    I know they won't turn you away but to be honest the food is provided for the people who have been fasting. If all of us consider it as a deal and turn up to the mosque to eat, the people who have been fasting will be starving for longer.

    I don't understand the negs for this deal (well, sadly, I do actually understand)

    this deal is a bargain because it is for free food following attendance at a mosque during ramadan.

    anyone is welcome to attend.

    anyone, being a homeless person or a millionaire.

    it's about community and togetherness.

    it differs from a soup kitchen as they are established for the less fortunate.

    and I don't understand why people keep equating this deal as being the same as charity kitchens….because it isn't.

      People also make comparisons to the many other religions with daily and weekly free meals to the community.

      In fact, someone posted a free weekly meal, ie. 52 meals/year, by a church. That was removed.

      This only runs for a month. Ie. less than 52 days.

        it was removed as Trolling because it was for a single day event held on 5 Jan. not a weekly event.

        so, that was for 1 meal. not like this post for a daily meal which runs for a month.

              I'd wager you'll find at least one in every state hence matching the nationwide deal.

              P.s. didn't neg your response.

              Some people would neg straight facts. Maybe they didn't agree that a month has fewer than 52 days.

              • Pantagonist on 07/05/2019 - 00:08

                @[Deactivated]: I didn't see the deal when it was posted, but it does look like it should have been allowed to stay up based on a summary I found about the event itself.

                Our community meal is an offering of hospitality and service to all people seeking the sanctuary of a safe space and a place to belong in community.

                So not specifically a charity service.

                Probably depends on the wording of the deal when it was posted. Was it done respectfully like this one or was there evidence of shitposting? The "trolling" reason for removal suggests the latter.

Cheap legal firm offering to declare your parents mentally incompetent so you can have them committed and take their house?

    Only giving my 2 cents because this isn't the first type of post like this on the site

    I'm not really an avid Ozbargain poster but this isn't a bargain..

    However, i do appreciate the idea behind it because it comes from the right place unlike the previous posts in the past which should have been removed.

    It really belongs in a forum or notice board of some sort.

    It is in essence a loophole in the posting rules. I could start saying i'm giving free water to a festival to promote and attract more people.

    • spixder on 07/05/2019 - 01:18

      And only people at that festival would have access to that free water.
      The same should apply to the mosque where the intent is to cater to people who are fasting for Ramadan, going purely for free food is just disrespectful.

      "Each year the LMA host the faithful at Lakemba mosque and provide a free community iftar to ensure all those observing Ramadan have the opportunity to break their fast with freshly prepared food. The LMA endeavour to feed over 500 people each day for the entire month."

    The OP stated himself that it is not widely advertised - could there be possibly a reason for that?
    I am sure that all the mosques offering this could advertise this through local media or nationwide but they choose not to. I am sure their reason is the same as the reason the charities I volunteer for have - to prevent abuse and not to overextend scarce resources.

      I guess they have limited resources yes. Religions don't seem to do the whole advertising thing though (they seem to rely on word of mouth); e.g. they don't advertise their sermons, religious events etc. And these aren't for reasons of abuse.

      However, I'm more inclined to believe the rationale for posting this deal from the Muslim who posted it, than others, no matter how well meaning (I believe you are as well). And yes, it's not really a "bargain" and slippery slope could apply when abuse happens.

        While I appreciate and value your opinion some people's comments here strongly indicate a willingness to abuse anything if only it is free and it does not cost them anything.
        Sad but true and it is a real issue for smaller charities etc.

          I understand your point too, you must see it a lot in charities! There's always a number of people on a lot of deals who try and make multiple accounts to get more freebies or game the deal somehow, so embarrassing. Either way, if it's something that becomes abused, I think they might start to vet attendants more carefully.

          However, I do think some interfaith mingling, while immersed in the other's religious zone is nice/needed, in the muslim context today anyway. Maybe the "scum bags" who do come just for a free meal will end up having a more positive impression and spread the love. I might sound like a total naive person here but I just don't think someone can use a religious free meal like this and walk away without any shred difference in sentiment. Small interactions might change things incrementally.

          If they don't, apparently the mosque still gains in "religious favour" or something. Just loss of material resources.

          But yeah, it can go completely the other way too.

            @Bargainbeth: In my opinion, if one is really interested in interviltural exchange and community one could visit a mosque any time of the year - they are ALWAYS welcoming and friendly.
            I find it leaves a bitter taste that when freed food is involved then suddenly there is interest.
            To me it then appears that the food is the main motivation rather than the intercultural exchange.
            That is the first thing that went through my head reading some of the comments here.

            I wish you were right with your "sentiment thought" but my experience unfortunately thus far has proven very different. Sadly.

              @Lysander: So Macca's deals for free buns with pickles and onion are suitable for OzBargain…but this deal isn't in your opinion?

                @Typical16-bitEnjoyer: Firstly, have I ever said the deals you are referring to are suitable?
                Secondly, I think resources of McD and a small local charity are vastly differing.

                • Typical16-bitEnjoyer on 07/05/2019 - 09:03

                  @Lysander: A lot of your recent comments are for posts of free Steam/game keys.

                  If one is really interested in games one could purchase a game at any time of the year.
                  I find it leaves a bitter taste that when free game keys are involved suddenly you are interested.
                  To me it then appears that the free game is the motivation rather than the gaming community.
                  That is the first thing that went through my head reading some of your previous comments here.

                  I wish you were right with your "argument" and purported high ground, but my experience reading your previous posts has unfortunately thus far been very different. Sadly.

                    @Typical16-bitEnjoyer: Dude, don't you think you are a bit childish. See what this "free" mentality can result in - see "hate speech" above and all the pretty sad comments about bringing the family solely because it is a free feed. Really great.

                    The situation is very different.
                    In fact, as OP stated himself, this is not advertised by the mosques - there is a reason for it.
                    Organisations who give away free keys want to do it regardless of need while charities are for those in the community least fortunate. If you cannot see a difference there, big difference.
                    Plus, making gaming keys and food equal is a bit pathetic. One is a luxury we can do without out while the other is a necessity we cannot do without.
                    And even the free keys giveaways have methods and safeguards to prevent abuse. Sadly, and you seem to be one of them, there are always people that take advantage of good will - going back to gaming keys why do you think HB now requires a $1 minimum for Steam keys? Because people abused the system.
                    Sadly, while implementing barriers is fairly issue and conflict-free online, the same cannot be said in person for charities where volunteers are scarce and the conflict for potential is high -judging from your comments and attitude you would be one of the people who would argue if assessed as not needy and rejected.
                    Volunteers really do not need this.
                    I can tell you one possible outcome of posts like these and abuse of services and resources: ending of the service.
                    We will certainly be calling a meeting soon to discuss posts like these and the abuse of resources with all of its consequences and possible outcomes - hopefully we are not forced to shut up shop but it is a real possibility, at least for one of the charities I volunteer for/with.

                      @Lysander: It IS advertised by the local mosques. I drive past signs outside 2 local mosques regularly.

                      They are welcome to EVERYBODY, including of different faiths. There are very open and friendly. They make extraordinary amounts of food and are very generous.

                      I'm glad you could appreciate when your arguments are used back at you that you didn't really have a defence other than "childish".

                      Your misconceived fears are really baseless and not based on personal experience nor fact.

      There was a deal about Muslim museum couple months back close to the Christchurch incident. I'd say that was tge worst. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/444691

      This deal is not controversial. Nor is the museum deal. Some people just actively like to post to display their ignorance of people that differ than their personal beliefs.

      Thankfully the mods ban hammers have been swift and just so far.

    Clearly the thread has 99% upvotes compared to negs which means it proves that more people agree with this.

    Let the haters troll and winge all they like because statistically speaking all the proof is shown.
    So grab yourself a bargain today or miss out, let’s show the true Ozzie spirit of ozbargain and our community of how good should be shared, God bless you all.

          My vote has been revoked because one of my comments have too many negvotes, just FYI incase you're wondering just how many negvotes there are.

          There are a lot but they're removed.

    OP looks like this isn't free food or deal. Muslim who does fasting and devotion for entire day are eligible for iftar in limited numbers.

    Meals on Wheels, Salvation Army and many other feed people in need regularly.
    So what's so good about this 'deal'? Is it just an attempt to show that mosques can also provide free meals once a year?
    This post should be removed.

      Meals on Wheels:
      * Criteria is that you need to be over 60 or…
      * Under 60 but hombound, disabled or earn less than $1,000 per month.

      Your parables are as similar as Chalk and Cheese.

      Salvation Army:
      * Again, people in desperate need where they can prove.

      The dinner op provided sounds like it's for all walks of life, it's a 'lunch and learn'.
      Come grab some food, sit and learn about the religion.

      • dracarys19 on 07/05/2019 - 09:33

        There's many targeted deals posted here.
