About Iftar at UQ

* Iftar is held on many days at UQ Multi-faith Centre

* Muslims like you donate money for the daily Iftar because the Prophet (s.a.w) said that by doing so you get the reward of every person’s fast! Donating for one day Iftar can get you the reward of over a 100 people’s Ramadan fast of the day!

* Please click here for details about donating or attending Iftar.

If you have exam scheduled at time of fasting in such a way that it makes it very hard for you to do the fast, or the Friday Prayer, please see the Muslim Chaplain for a letter informing the University of the situation.
