The Ramadan Ifthar Programme to mark the breaking of fast at the mid fasting season was held at the cafeteria of SLAF Base Katunayake recently. This special religious activity was organized to celebrate the holy month of Ramadan and to enhance the religious solidarity among the members of the Air Force.



Ifthar or Iftharee, refers to the evening meal for breaking the daily fast during the Islamic month of Ramadan or a meal served at the end of the fasting day during Ramadan, to break the day's fast. Literally, "breakfast." Ifthar during Ramadan is often done as a community, with Muslims gathering to break their fast together.



The officiating Moulavi blessed and prayed to all mighty Allah on behalf of the souls of all brave men and woman of the Sri Lanka Air force, who made the supreme sacrifice, in defence of our motherland. The event was successfully held under the patronage of the Base Commander Air Cdre SK Pathirana, COs and OCs with the participation of all Muslim service personnel stationed in the Base.
