This week on Monday evening, some Muslims ending their fast in Dubai got a surprise: an iftar meal from the local Sikh Gurdwara.
Members of the Al Manar Islamic Centre had their iftar meal provided by the Guru Nanak Darbar - the biggest Gurdwara in the Gulf region. Afterwards, scholars from both religions held a discussion on the values they shared.
Surinder Singh Kandhari, chairman of the Gurdwara, said it was an excellent opportunity to "forget our egos and come together and share a meal with our Muslim brothers."
He told Gulf News: "We consider the month of Ramadan an excellent time to observe interfaith harmony and bond with the community."

- What is happening in the photo?
- Why did people following Sikh and Muslim faith eat together in the Gudwara?
- What does this photo show us about different religions?
- What do you notice about the gender of the attendees?
- Next year how can the Gudwara make their meal even more inclusive?
- Shall we write to the Gudwara and thank them for inviting people of different faith to their meal, and suggest next time they invite people of different gender too?
