Community Iftar in celebration of Ramadan
BackWednesday 21st March saw King’s Leadership Academy Liverpool host a Community Iftar in celebration of Ramadan.
An iftar is a significant tradition in Muslim communities, especially during the holy month of Ramadan. Iftar is the name of the meal eaten by Muslims at sunset to break their fast during Ramadan. It is the main meal of the day for those who are fasting.
Iftar gatherings go beyond mere consumption of food. They are a vibrant expression of cultural identity, a testament to the power of communal ties, and a reaffirmation of faith. Each sip of water and bite of food nourishes not only the body but also the soul, reinforcing bonds of empathy, compassion, and brotherhood.
The event held at the schools was well attended by staff, students, families and members of the local community.
Assistant Principal, Mark Collins said “Tonight we come together not only as a school but as a diverse and vibrant community, representing a range of cultures and traditions. It is in this diversity that we find strength, unity and the foundation upon which we build our shared vision of inclusivity.
Ramadan holds a special significance for many of us, a time of reflection, spiritual growth, and communal bonding. Hosting this Iftar we aim to foster a sense of togetherness for students, families and our community to come together in fellowship and celebration.”
Principal, Scott Cordon described the day as one of his proudest days as a headteacher and thanked his “amazing team of staff” for organising the special event.
