We at Iyzil gathered for a heartwarming Iftar event that brought together families, friends, in the spirit of unity and gratitude. The event, held at Margalla Grande, was beautifully decorated to reflect the essence of Ramadan, with lanterns and intricate decor adding to the festive atmosphere. Attendees enjoyed a variety of traditional and contemporary dishes, thoughtfully prepared to cater to diverse tastes. The aroma of freshly cooked meals and the sound of cheerful conversations filled the air, creating an ambiance of togetherness and celebration.

The evening began with a warm welcome from our host, followed by a brief reflection on the significance of Ramadan and the importance of community. As the sun set, the call to Maghrib prayer echoed, and everyone gathered to break their fast with dates and water, following the blessed tradition of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This moment of collective spirituality and reflection was truly touching, reminding us of the blessings we share and the strength we find in our faith.

Throughout the night, attendees engaged in meaningful conversations, strengthening bonds and building new connections. The children’s corner was a hit, with fun activities and games that kept the younger guests entertained. Our heartfelt thanks go out to the volunteers and sponsors whose generous contributions made this event possible. The Iftar gathering was not just a time to enjoy delicious food, but also an opportunity to reinforce the values of compassion, generosity, and community spirit that are central to Ramadan. We look forward to many more such joyous occasions in the future.
