Grand Iftar 2024 at College Green in Bristol Cathedral!.

We have delivered the last grand Iftar at College green in Bristol Cathedral. It was another successful event and the turn out was great. Grand Iftar is all about bringing the community together from all walks of life, the theme was 'peace and hope' this year, it's delivered by the community for the community. Grand Iftar is about illuminating one of the five pillars of islam and the extension of kindness and generosity for our fellow Bristolians .

Ramadan is all about discipline, experiencing hunger and thirst, this helps us to better understand how privilege we are and thinking of the less fortunate whom experiencing fasting on a daily basis. It gives an opportunity for the youth to learn more about Islam and Ramadan and to feel more confident understanding that Ramadan is part of our identity. Grand Iftar allows us to build a notion of understanding between the community and also giving the opportunity for top officials to have an insight access to learn about our beautiful religion and the meaning behind this holy month.

Lastly, but by no means least I would like to extend my sincere gratitude towards Bristol Cathedral for allowing us to host Grand Iftar at Church, weather was tricky huge and beautiful space in Cathedral comfort the guest, our local MP's Kerry McCarthy, Thangam, Lord Mayor Paul Goggin, deputy Mayor Asher Craig and the chief Constable Sarah crew, Keith Openshaw and all other dignitaries, the volunteers and the people who contributed to the success of the event. Specially organising team , head of this work Mohammed Elsharif and rest of the team who made this happen Abdul Ahmed Afzal Hussain Shah,Mohammed Arif Busharat Ali Suad Biciid Mushtaaq Hussein Aynul Islam and rest.

Special thanks for young people, Without them and the vivacious energy this will not be made possible. Thank you all, for being ever so gracious in attending our event.

We hope to look forward to next year learning more form this experience in bettering our grand Iftar for the years to come.
