EduAsiaNews, Jakarta — The Mosque Prosperity Council (Dewan Kemakmuran Masjid/DKM) of Universitas Pembangunan Nasional Veteran Jakarta is organizing a communal iftar program for students and educational staff during Ramadan 1447 Hijri. The program is centered at Masjid Manbaul ‘Ulum and Masjid Al Fikri as part of efforts to strengthen unity and promote religious values within the campus community.
The activities will run for 15 days, with faculties and administrative units participating on a rotating basis. In addition to iftar (breaking of the fast), the DKM is also organizing religious lectures, congregational Tarawih prayers, and short religious sermons (kultum) following the Dhuhr prayer.
The Chair of DKM UPNVJ, Suprima, M.Pd.I., explained that the iftar program provides light refreshments (ta’jil) and evening meals for approximately 100 congregants at Masjid Manbaul ‘Ulum, Pondok Labu Campus, and 50 congregants at Masjid Al Fikri, Limo Campus. The program is intended for students, lecturers, educational staff, and members of the surrounding community.
