5th September 2009 – In the spirit of Ramadhan, UMNO Auckland, together with Belia Cergas Auckland (BECA) and Petronas’s Students Union in Auckland (PETUNIA) organized an Iftar for Malaysian students. The event was held at the University of Auckland.
The event started with students gathering at the venue in the Engineering Building to break the fast with dates and water before performing Magrib prayers.
After the prayers, students moved to the Quad Area to have the dinner prepared by the organizers. The menu that night was Nasi Ayam. This event was also a ‘potluck’ and many of the students cooked and brought their dishes to be shared with others. There were plenty of food and they were really mouth watering.
After the dinner, everyone took the ablution and performed Isyak prayers at the Tutorial Room in the Engineering Building. We also performed Terawih prayers together after the Isyak prayers.
Solat Hajat was also performed before the end of Terawih prayers to ask Allah S.W.T for forgiveness and help in protecting our county Malaysia with respect to the 52 years of Independence and also to seek for Allah S.W.T.’s help to protect and put an end to the suffering endured by our brothers and sisters in Palestine from the cruelty of the Israel regime, hoping for them to going through Ramadhan in a better condition.
