During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to sunset and then break the fast at sunset with an iftar meal. The Buffalo Chapter’s program will include brief remarks on the meaning of Ramadan, followed by reflections from Hindu, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim speakers on the shared values of personal reform, compassion, and justice. Guests will then join the community for iftar dinner.
“Ramadan is a time to strengthen our relationship with God, refine our character, and renew our commitment to serving others,” said Nasir Khan, President of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Buffalo Chapter. “We warmly invite our neighbors to join us—share a meal, learn about Ramadan, and engage in respectful conversation on how faith communities can work together for peace and justice.”
