About 220 Filipinos converted to Islam on the same day in Saudi Arabia after having Iftar (Ramadan evening meal) with Muslims.

The 220 workers at a local company decided to embrace Islam after they were invited to the religion by the Islamic Guidance Office near the Western town of Makkah.

“They had iftar with us for a few days… we then decided to invite them to Islam and they all agreed to embrace the religion,” the Office’s director Sheikh Salim Al Maabadi said, quoted by Sabq daily.
