Iftar Ceremony

The KPKSB held a iftar ceremony during the Ramadhan 1426H year 2006 for its staff at the KPKSB Kota Bharu headquarters. Then all the staff performed the ‘solat terawih’ organized by KPKSB’s Managing Director, Tuan Hj Mohd Fadzli Ab. Samat. The purpose is to enable staff to iftar together and be friendly to each other.

Iftar is one of the religious observances of Ramadan and is often done as a community, with people gathering to break their fast together. Iftar is taken right after Maghrib time, which is around sunset. Traditionally but not mandatory, three dates are eaten to break the fast in emulation of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad, who broke his fast in this manner. Many Muslims believe that feeding someone iftar as a form of charity is very rewarding and that such was practised by the Prophet Muhammad.
