In a meaningful gesture of outreach and solidarity, Captain Moodie of the NYPD 105th Precinct recently visited Masjid Al-Welayet to participate in an Iftar gathering during the Holy Month of Ramadan. The evening brought together members of the local Muslim community and law enforcement in a spirit of mutual respect and shared tradition.
Iftar, the meal that breaks the daily fast at sunset during Ramadan, holds deep spiritual significance for Muslims around the world. By attending the gathering, Captain Moodie and members of the 105th Precinct demonstrated their continued commitment to building strong relationships with the diverse communities they serve.
In a statement shared following the visit, the precinct expressed gratitude for the warm welcome and the opportunity to take part in such a meaningful tradition. The engagement reflected ongoing efforts to strengthen trust and collaboration between law enforcement and community members in Queens.
Community leaders at the mosque welcomed the visit as a positive step toward fostering open dialogue and understanding. Events like these, they noted, help bridge gaps and reinforce the shared goal of ensuring safety and harmony throughout the neighborhood.
The visit underscored a broader message that public safety is most effective when rooted in partnership. As Ramadan continues to be observed across New York City, moments of connection like this serve as reminders that unity, respect, and communication remain vital pillars of a strong and inclusive community.
