Ramadan Dinner

On behalf of The Dialogue Society Worksop Branch, I would like to take this opportunity to cordially invite you to our annual Dialogue Ramadan Dinner on Saturday, the 15th March 2025. The doors will open at 15:30 and we will begin the event at 16:00. We aim to finish no later than 19:00hrs.

As we anticipate the arrival of the holy month of Ramadan, the Dialogue Society warmly invites you to our Ramadan Dialogue Iftar, themed “Peace and Unity”. In times where societal divisions seem prevalent, our iftar stands as a beacon of mutual respect, understanding, and shared humanity. This year, we are inspired by the essence of Ramadan—a period of introspection, community, and breaking barriers—to highlight our collective journey towards a more harmonious society.

The event will be around a dinner table and alongside our traditional structure as it will include distinguished guest speakers and presentations about the theme, we are also planning on incorporating prayer, reflection, music, art display, quiz as it is organized as a social event that would help to promote inter-social and inter-cultural understanding among the communities from different backgrounds.

We will serve a range of hygienically prepared home-made delicious Turkish dishes. The word “iftar” means fast breaking. Therefore, we will start serving the dinner at the fast-breaking time which will be around 6:10pm.

How about a challenge? We invite you to join us on the event day for a completely voluntary #FastingChallenge. In order to share the spirit of fast breaking amongst all the participants, as part of the fasting challenge, we invite our guests to fast for a day, or half a day or even for an hour to experience how Muslims fast and go on a spiritual journey of self-reflection and self-discipline this Ramadan. As mentioned above, this will be on a voluntary basis. More importantly, if you think that this may not be good for your health, please refrain from joining this challenge.

Thank you for considering our invitation; we are genuinely excited about the possibility of your participation. We are looking forward to your response. Due to limited venue space, we politely encourage you to reserve your place. Therefore, please kindly click on the Eventbrite link below or reply to this e-mail to confirm your attendance and do so by the 2nd March. Your presence at the event will be an absolute honour for us. Please let us know how many adults and children you are attending with alongside with your dietary requirements in your confirmation.
