As Salaamu Alaikum!
Ramadhan Mubarak
Thank you to everyone who attended BAMBAR’s 4th annual iftar in Philadelphia this past Saturday. As with all BAMBAR initiatives, this iftar required a lot of effort, financial support, and prayer, and we am grateful for each guest who attended, those who donated, and everyone who made sincere du’a for the success of this event.
Naeemah’s goal for this year’s iftar was to create a welcoming and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere for fellowship during this blessed month while educating guests on the leading cause of death among women across all racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds – heart disease. As a result, the menu options and presentation were carefully crafted to encourage us and the women in our families to adopt healthier eating and lifestyle habits. Alhamdulillah, 93% of all guests attended with a family member (i.e. mothers, daughters, sisters, cousins, in-laws, etc.).
It’s her personal belief that iftars should also become more educational, and she could not let the evening pass without tackling the spiritual diseases of the heart. We hope everyone enjoyed “Clinical Rotations,” “Prescription Pick-up”, and “Match Day” and that we work on curing ourselves of spiritual diseases so that we can return to Allah with sound hearts. Ameen❤️
