MOSQUE OPEN DAY

RAMADAN IFTAR DINNERS

VII ABRAHAM CONFERENCE

Once again, AIS invites Melbournians to take the opportunity to understand Islam through direct encounter with a Mosque and an information session designed to clarify many issues including certain misconceptions regarding Islam. The Mosque Open Day event is organised in a way that during the second half of the program, visitors are split into smaller groups in which they get the chance to ask questions.

Each year during the holy period of Ramadan, the AIS organizes formal and private home Iftar dinners for the members of Parliament, Officers of the Victorian police, faith and community leaders and members of the community in general. This unique project enables people of all faiths and cultures to socialize and learn about each other's customs in a warm friendly atmosphere.
 

The Abrahamic faiths of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam need to listen to and work together with indigenous voices to recognize injustice and to explore common traditions of offering forgiveness and moving forward in a new direction. The Abraham Conference provides a practical way forward for people of all faiths and backgrounds to become aware of our responsibilities and thus work towards reconciliation.

Time: 1:00pm - 3:00pm Time: Iftar dinner Time: 7:00pm - 9:00pm
