ADAMS Plans Interfaith Ramadan Iftar in Sterling Sunday

The All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) has planned its 6th annual National Interfaith Ramadan Iftar at 7 p.m. July 28 at the group’s main facility, 46903 Sugarland Road, in Sterling.

Ramadan is a period of spiritual reflection, renewal and community service for Muslims. The Ramadan fast is performed to learn discipline, self-restraint and generosity, while obeying God’s commandments.

Fasting – along with the declaration of faith, daily prayers, charity, and pilgrimage to Mecca – is one of the Five Pillars of Islam.

Because Ramadan is a lunar month, it begins about 11 days earlier each year. Communal prayers called Eid ul-Fitr, or Feast of Fast-Breaking, mark the end of Ramadan. Eid ul-Fitr takes place Aug. 8 this year.
