INTERVIEWEE: Aysegul Ergul
Do you want to have iftar (fast breaking) dinner with a Muslim family?
During the month of Ramadan in the lunar calendar, Muslims fast by abstaining from consuming water or food from dawn to sunset. After the sunset, they break their fast with a meal called “Iftar”. This is an important time not only to break fast but also share this meal with friends including those of different faiths. It is truly a special time when people of different backgrounds come together and share in the Iftar experience, learning about different cultures and faiths in the process as we believe building peaceful societies start with knowing one another.
