Enjoy an Iftar meal with a Muslim family!
2022-04-02 - 2022-05-03
Emerald Hills Institute wants to match and join families together for Iftar dinners during this Ramadan. A centuries-old tradition is where Muslims invite their friends, neighbors, and colleagues to an Iftar meal.
The goal is to share a good time, delicious food, and pleasant conversations around the table to form imperishable and rewarding relationships. We designed this program for everyone who is interested in meeting new individuals and establishing new friendships with people of different backgrounds. Some of the initial benefits will be to see the richness in various traditions & cultures establish ongoing yet satisfying relationships We encourage you to participate in this program by filling out the below form to initiate the family matching process.
Ramadan
Ramadan is a holy month of fasting, reflection, gratitude, and prayer for Muslims. Muslims around the globe respectfully welcome this blessed guest every year as Ramadan is when Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) received the initial revelations of the Holy Quran.
Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam. During Ramadan, Muslims do not eat or drink from dawn to sunset, and they invite friends and relatives daily to share an Iftar meal to break their daily fasting.
Eid-al-Fitr is regarded as a time to celebrate, with Muslims gathering their friends and family to show gratitude toward God following the previous month of reflection and appreciation. The holiday serves as an excellent reminder for Muslims to be grateful for what they have and to share with those who may be less fortunate.
Note: Breaking fast is by the sunset!

Dr. Soltes is an art historian and academic focusing on religious studies those elements of different faiths which resonate with each other; he is also Chair of the Rumi Forum in Washington, DC. His book shares observations on Islam and Imam Gulen’s unwavering commitment to compassionate service and education around the world. The discussion moderated by Andrew Kosorok long time friend of Emerald Hills Institute, stained glass artist and visiting professor at the Utah Tech University. During a 1-1/2 hour conversation Dr. Soltes shared his thoughts on his journey of a Jewish academic learning about Imam Gulen, his Hizmet (Turkish for “compassionate service”) Movement world-wide, the current leadership of Turkey and their targeting of nonviolent educators, and what we can do to embrace difference and serve those around us.

We closed with a question and answer session and book signing, where attendees from many different traditions discovered their common desire for peaceful resolution, selfless service, and grateful understanding.
