mashaun: Organization was good, lecture was fantastic. I was carried along till the end of the lecture though a non-nairalander friend that accompanied me was not served iftar.
If everyone could practise the deen as described, Perception of the world would change ....except those who have vowed to being sentimental irrespective of how good.... (Ota eni kii pa odu oya)
Jazakum Lah to the host and the Ummah.

Wizeboy: Al hamdu lillaahi rabbil 'alameen

Thanks to everybody for participating in this year RAMADAN IFTAAR, your attendance and contribution really makes the programme a success. Brothers and Sisters arrival before time was really commendable and appreciated, as this help us to start the programme at the time stated (let us keep this good character in all our future programme). I think this is the biggest RAMADAN IFTAAR we have ever hosted, the attendance stood at 51 people. May Almighty Allah accept it from us as an act of Ibadah (AMIN) and I pray next year programme will be more elaborate and successful than this.

May Almighty Allah accept it from us as an act of Ibadah (AMIN) and I pray next year programme will be more elaborate and successful than this.

The lecture too was inspiring and fascinating, but please don’t let us NOT forget all the message in the lecture especially those and I quote: “You don’t expect your opposite to praise you; so, when they abuse you and your God, the best way to show you are a good Muslim is not to respond, they will really get tired when they hear no response” and[i] “don’t abuse their belief and God so that they wouldn’t abuse your belief and Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and Allah and always show ISLAM is the best through your behaviour online and daily activities”[/i]… I sincerely hope we will adapt to this important message both online and in our daily life. May Almighty Allah continue to strengthen us toward the deen and on the right path (Amin).

We now have one lecturer in our archive for future programme and I hope we will invite some other good lecturers in our subsequent programme to learn new things about our religion.

I am having of the sum of N20,000.00 with me, been the balance from the money hrmkz, thirty and Dynamo1 contributed for the programme, meaning that I only spent the sum of N60,000.00 for the programme including food, fruits, little money given to the lecturer, the Imam of the mosque and the cost of petrol that was used to power the generator; the remaining balance of N20,000.00 will In Sha Allah be released when we finalise the opening of the Account as proposed yesterday.

Even though the programme was rated perfect, I am using this medium to say, I am very sorry and also accept responsibility for any flaw that may have been witnessed by any Nairalander’s Muslim and Non-Nairaland Muslims that attended the programme.

I will post some pictures I took at the event yesterday here in the evening In Sha Allah, so watch out for it!

Pertaining to the issue of the Corporate Account, I will suggest we discuss that on this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/1788627/nairaland-muslim-forum in order not to change the purpose of this thread. So, any suggestions, observations and talks about Nairaland projects and Account should go to the NAIRALAND MUSLIM FORUM thread. I have already posted what me and the banker discussed yesterday on the thread.

FINALLY, I say big thank you to the hosts in person of hrmkz, thirty and Dynamo1 and everyone of us that attended and those that showed interest to attend but which one way or the other couldn’t make it to the event. May Almighty Allah continue to guide everyone of us to the right path and also accept our intention in the holy month of RAMADAN as an act of Ibadah. May Almighty Allah also strengthen the health Sister Ariyke who mail me yesterday morning that she is so sick and wouldn't be able to make it again; but my bad, due to the long time the lecture took, I could ask everyone of us to say a prayer for her as requested by her; Almighty Allah will perfect His health on her In Sha Allah.

Wizeboy: NAIRALAND IFTAAR IN PICTURE...

tohirah: Alhamdulillah, the Ilorin Iftar was a good one too. It turned out to be an interactive session and it was interesting.

Thanks to kokozain and his wife for hosting. Jazakallah

Wizeboy:
As Salam Alaykum Warahmotullahi Wa barakaatuh

We are less than 13 days away from this year Ramadan, I believe planning and preparation for this year RAMADAN IFTAR should start earnest in order to create more awareness and for people to incorporate it in their schedule for the Holy Month as early as possible. 


BACKGROUND

As those that have been around for some time already know, Nairaland Muslim Ummah organize Iftaar (Joint Breaking of Fast) on chosen day(s) during Ramadan. The first edition started in 2009, hosted by JARUS at Mama Cass Restaurant, Ajose Adeogun, VI, Lagos. We had two editions in 2010, Mainland Edition at Sweet Sensation, Allen Avenue, Ikeja and the Island Edition hosted by Majoroller at Mama Cass, Awolowo Road, Ikoyi. The 2011 Edition also came up in two parts: Island at Mama Cass, Ajose Adeogun VI and Mainland @ Sweet Sensation, Allen Avenue, Ikeja – both bankrolled by Majoroller. The 2012 Edition (Season 4) was also in two places; one at Jarus residence in Ajah while the second was hosted by Majoroller at Surulere. The 2013 Edition (Season 5) was hosted by Jarus @ his residence in Ajah. 

The 2014 Edition (Season 6) was co-hosted by hrmkz, thirty and Dynamo1 and was held at Araromi Central Mosque, Gbagada, Lagos. The last year edition was assumed to be the biggest IFTAAR we would ever held with over 50 Nairalanders in attendance. 


SEASON 7: 2015

This year (2015) Ramadan is around the corner and Insha Allah, we are having Season 7 of Nairalnders' Ramadan Iftar. Bearing in mind that it is better held on a weekend, we have these possible dates: 
Saturday 27th June
Sunday 28th June
Saturday 4th July
Sunday 5th July
Saturday 11th July
Sunday 12th July


HOST/SPONSORSHIP

Individual, Group or part sponsorship will be welcomed. Contribution is also welcomed. Any member may as well decide to host us in his house or any convenience venue. From past experience, budget will be around 50 - 60k depending on attendance.

Assembling will start by 3pm at the chosen venue and lasts till after break of fast and moghrib, or we wait till 8pm for Ishai. Programmes lined up for the event include: opening remarks by the moderator(s); faces behind the IDs(introduction); general discussions; short lecture; breaking of fast with fruits; main menu etc. Its going to be fun, Insha Allah. People that attended past editions will tell you. 

Muslim Nairalanders in other parts of Nigeria and outside can also plan to organize their own at their locations on this thread.

Page9 has shown his intention to host us this year. We are also expecting to hear from others that may be interested in hosting, co-hosting, contributing or sponsoring one of the IFTAR for this year. The earlier we show our interest in hosting/sponsoring the better for everybody to schedule their programme for the wonderful event.

MODS: Sissie and Mukina2 should please help in making sure that this thread hit the front page as early as possible and also, assist in ensuring that this thread make it to the front page every Friday as well, in order to create more awareness for this programme, so that it wouldn’t be like last year when some Nairaland Muslims said they were not aware ontime. Lets encourage more Muslims to join this thread and also participate actively too.

Let the planning, deliberation and preparation start now!

May Almighty Allah accept it has an act of Ibadah and spare our lives to observe the forthcoming Ramadan and beyond in good health (Ameen).

Ao can one pay. To which account? I mean supporting sponsorship
