Al Siraat College in Epping hosted their sixth Annual Interfaith Ramadan dinner on Wednesday, April 13 in their newly built auditorium.

The dinner was an opportunity for people from other faiths to observe what the holy month is about and break bread together.

There was about 120 attendees on the night including different faith and community leaders as well as representatives from City of Whittlesea, Whittlesea Interfaith Network (WIN), Victorian Muslim Association and a number of others.

The ceremony was opened with a Qur’an recitation by year 4 pupil Khizar Nauman and the dinner was hosted by college captains Naziihah Hafidi and Ismaeel Ambikapathy.

Federal MP Andrew Giles, MP Bronwyn Halfpenny and MP Lily D’Ambrosio were some of the politicians who came out on the night.

College Imam Sheikh Waseem Khan concluded the ceremony with a closing prayer.
