Iftar – Ramadan

Iftar (Arabic: إفطار) is the evening meal with which Muslims break their daily fast at sunset during the holy month of Ramadan. It is one of the primary religious observances of the month, often serving as a significant communal and spiritual event.

Timing: The meal begins exactly at sunset, coinciding with the Maghrib (evening) call to prayer.
Sunnah Tradition: Following the tradition of the Prophet Muhammad, many break the fast by eating an odd number of dates (usually three) and drinking water.
Spiritual Meaning: Iftar is a time of gratitude and reflection. It is considered a highly blessed time for making dua (supplication), as Muslims believe prayers made at this moment are particularly likely to be accepted.
Charity: Providing iftar for others—especially the poor or those in need—is seen as a deeply rewarding act of charity (Sadaqah)

We welcomed many members of our school community, both past and present to join us for iftar during the month of Ramadan.

This was a wonderful community event that brought together many people from different faiths.
