What Happened
For the third consecutive year, Camosun’s Muslim Student Alliance (MSA) is organizing an iftar celebration aimed at the Muslim student body, while also welcoming non-Muslim participants. This event is designed to foster community and understanding among students during Ramadan, a month characterized by fasting from dawn until dusk, culminating in the evening meal known as iftar.
Why It Matters
The MSA’s initiative highlights the importance of iftar not only as a meal but as a communal gathering that reinforces faith and personal growth. Acting president Yousef Al-odotallah emphasized that Ramadan is a time for reflection, patience, and empathy, encouraging students to reconnect with their faith and focus on self-improvement. This celebration serves as a platform for both Muslim and non-Muslim students to engage in meaningful dialogue and cultural exchange.
What’s Next
As the event approaches, the MSA aims to create an inclusive atmosphere that promotes understanding and respect among diverse student groups. The iftar celebration is expected to strengthen community ties and encourage further interfaith initiatives at Camosun, fostering a spirit of solidarity and shared values during the holy month of Ramadan.
