Al Haramain Perfumes, a globally renowned fragrance brand, celebrated the spirit of the holy month of Ramadan – a month of sharing and caring – with more than 7,000 guests including dignitaries from the Government of Ajman emirate – where the company is based.
It hosted a grand Iftar gathering, welcoming an astounding 7,000 guests at its head office and factory premises. This milestone event reaffirmed the company’s commitment to unity, charity, and the spirit of giving during Ramadan.
The prestigious evening was graced by H.E.

The guest list also included prominent business leaders, media personalities, and distinguished figures, making it one of the most notable Iftar gatherings in the UAE.
The event commenced with a soul-stirring Quranic recitation by Mr. Muhammad Sheeraz, a respected Islamic speaker from Awqaf Dubai. This was followed by an enlightening bayan (sermon) that emphasized the values of faith, generosity, and communal harmony.
A significant highlight of the evening was the Khatm Al Quran (Recitation of the Holy Quran in full) ceremony, led by the Imam Team, marking a moment of deep spiritual reflection for attendees. The ceremony underscored the essence of Ramadan—faith, patience, and gratitude—resonating with the core values upheld by Al Haramain Perfumes.
As the call for Maghrib prayer resonated, thousands of guests came together to break their fast, sharing dates, water, and a carefully curated Iftar meal. The sight of such a vast and diverse gathering united in prayer and gratitude was a testament to the spirit of Ramadan, a time of compassion, togetherness, and generosity.
Al Haramain Perfumes’ grand Iftar was a collective effort made possible through the collaboration with Ajman Police, ensuring smooth operations for the thousands in attendance. Additionally, volunteers from the Voluntary Giving Team and Al Haramain staff played a crucial role in serving and assisting guests, embodying the spirit of selflessness and generosity that defines Ramadan.
Mr Mohammed Mahtabur Rahman, Chairman of Al Haramain Group, expressed his gratitude, saying, “Ramadan is a time of unity, reflection, and giving. Seeing thousands come together to break bread in a spirit of love and harmony is truly heartwarming. At Al Haramain, we believe in fostering a culture of generosity and togetherness. This Iftar gathering is not just an event—it is a testament to our enduring commitment to community, charity, and spiritual enrichment.”
