Iftar Dinner Invitation
As you may noticed Ramadan is approaching quickly once again. The holy month of Ramadan is special in Muslims' spiritual lives as it is the time to renew one’s devotion to God Almighty by performing obligatory fasting, giving compulsory charity, and performing other forms of worship.
Ramadan is the Islamic calendar's holiest month and is seen as a time of reflection.
Muslims abstain from eating and drinking from dawn till dusk in an effort to renew their focus on spiritual rather than material matters. At sunset, they invite their friends and neighbors to share a fast-breaking meal, or Iftar.
Muslims fast as a means to intensify worship and contemplation as well as strengthen ties within the family and community.
In this context, Anatolia Cultural and Dialogue Centre is inviting its sincere friends to share Iftar Dinners at ACDC. Individual community members will begin to host guests on June 28 and continue through July 27.
One of the unfortunate consequences of 21st century lifestyle is the weakening of relationships and interactions between neighbors and neighboring communities. As a result, people care less about each other because they don't share with and know enough about each other.
We believe that a sustainable dialogue can only be achieved if we experience it at all levels of the society.
We believe by breaking bread together we will have a stronger dialog and better understanding of each other’s values and ethnicity. This will set an example for our children to follow and make our and future communities a better place to live in.
We are hopeful that this project will deepen the relationship amongst members of all indivuduals in our community, be fruitful with many outcomes, and continue in the coming years.
So we want worthy friends of yours and from your organization be a part of this project and enjoy warmth of Turkish hospitality along with ingenious and delicious Turkish food, you are warmly welcomed to sit together around Iftar table this year.
If it is convenient for you we warmly welcome you and all other friends to gather around Iftar table on
14th or 15th of July.
We are looking forward to hearing from you.
