Video: This Amazing Woman Invited a Lonely Cab Driver to Iftar

We stumbled upon the sweetest story on TikTok, and we just had to share! It’s about a young Lebanese woman, Mariam Moughnieh, and a simple yet beautiful act of kindness.

While taking a taxi, Mariam got to chatting with the elderly driver and found out that he breaks his fast alone every day during Ramadan. That’s when she decided to do something small, but incredibly meaningful. “How about we have iftar together?” she asked. And just like that, she invited him to a restaurant in Hamra, and he happily accepted. Over the meal, he shared that his wife had passed away a year ago and that he has no children, so he’s been spending Ramadan evenings alone.

The video captures a heartwarming moment as Mariam and “3ammo” the taxi driver share a meal, fattoush, soup, shawarma, while exchanging thoughts on the food. It quickly went viral, racking up thousands of views and an outpouring of love from people touched by her kindness.

Ramadan is a time of generosity and giving, and small gestures like this can make a world of difference. Whether it’s inviting someone to a meal, offering a kind word, or simply sharing a moment of companionship, each of us has the power to bring warmth and joy to someone’s Ramadan.

If you love feel-good moments like this, make sure to follow Mariam. She’s always sharing fun food experiences and restaurant adventures!
