🌙 Virtual Iftar Party – A Ramadan 2026 Story

Ramadan had always been a time of togetherness for Nida. Every evening, the family would gather around the dining table, sharing dates, samosas, and laughter as the call for Maghrib echoed in the background. But this year, the situation was different. Many of her friends and family members lived in different cities—or even different countries—and she couldn’t imagine a Ramadan without seeing their faces and sharing Iftar with them.

One day, as Nida scrolled through her social media feeds, she noticed how her friends were talking about virtual Iftar parties, where people would connect online and break their fast together, no matter the distance. The idea struck her immediately: she could host a virtual Iftar party herself. But how would she manage the food, gifts, and supplies for everyone participating, scattered across different cities?

Then, she remembered hearing about Remit Choice, an app that allowed people to send money home—or to loved ones—instantly, safely, and conveniently. Excited, Nida downloaded the app on her phone. The registration was fast, and the interface was simple to navigate. She could send money to her friends and family, making sure everyone would receive their Iftar goodies and gifts on time.

With careful planning, Nida sent transfers through Remit Choice to everyone she invited, covering small treats, Iftar ingredients, and even some surprise gifts. Notifications appeared almost instantly, confirming each transfer. “This is amazing,” she thought. “It’s so easy to make this happen, even from miles away!”

Meanwhile, her friends in different cities were receiving messages and transfers. Asha in Karachi, Bilal in Lahore, and Yasir in Islamabad all received Nida’s contributions, enough to prepare their Iftar tables and enjoy the treats she had planned. Each of them was touched by the thoughtfulness, realizing that even distance couldn’t stop them from celebrating together.

The day of the virtual Iftar party arrived. Nida decorated her apartment with lanterns, lights, and a beautiful table setup. She logged onto the video call platform, and soon, faces began appearing on the screen—friends and family, all smiling, all dressed in their Ramadan best. The camera captured tables full of food, desserts, and drinks, each home reflecting its own unique charm.

As the call began, Nida welcomed everyone warmly. “Ramadan Mubarak, everyone! I know we can’t be in the same room, but today, we share Iftar together, across cities and borders!” Laughter and cheerful greetings filled the virtual room.

They broke their fast together—dates first, followed by water and samosas. The video was filled with chatter, shared stories of childhood memories, and friendly banter. Nida watched as her friends’ eyes lit up while opening small surprise gifts she had sent using Remit Choice. Some received traditional sweets, while others got small tokens of Ramadan decor. Every smile and expression made her feel like she was truly present with them.

After Iftar, the group shared reflections about the month of Ramadan—what fasting had taught them, the importance of giving, and how even small acts of kindness could make a huge difference. Nida realized that this virtual gathering, made possible with technology and thoughtful planning, was more than just a meal—it was a bridge connecting hearts across miles.

Throughout the evening, stories of generosity emerged. Bilal had used some of Nida’s transfer to donate to a local charity, Asha had shared treats with her neighbors, and Yasir had invited a few lonely elders to join his family for Iftar. It became clear that giving, sharing, and connecting were at the heart of Ramadan, no matter the distance.

As the night drew to a close, everyone expressed gratitude for the gathering. “This is the best Iftar I’ve had in years,” said Bilal, smiling broadly. “I feel like we’re all together.” Nida felt her heart swell with joy. Despite the challenges of distance, she had managed to recreate the essence of Ramadan—togetherness, generosity, and celebration.
