Ramadan 2025 was a time of togetherness, gratitude, and meaningful dialogue for Rumi Forum and our valued community partners. Our Iftars once again provided a space for connection, where old friendships were rekindled, new relationships were formed, and our shared commitment to fostering understanding and collaboration was strengthened.

We are deeply grateful to our partners, allies, and dedicated volunteers, whose presence enriched these gatherings and made this Ramadan a truly special experience. Beyond the joy of breaking fast together, we engaged in thought-provoking conversations about our collective aspirations and how we can continue working toward a more inclusive and compassionate society.

As we reflect on this sacred month, we carry forward the spirit of unity and renewal, inspired by the bonds we have strengthened and the meaningful exchanges we have shared. Thank you to everyone who made this Ramadan a time of deep connection and purpose!
