Fasting is a highly recommended practice in Islam. The potential yield for increased taqwa through the practice of fasting remains available to those who observe it even outside of the month of Ramadan and there are numerous days through the Prophetic Tradition that it is encouraged to fast. Our hope is to grow this iftar program to include Monday and Thursdays and the middle days of the month (13th,14th,15th) inshallah, but to begin we will start off with Mondays and invite you to join us.

**Imam Khalid Latif**
*Executive Director*, University Chaplain at **NYU**

Imam Khalid Latif is a University Chaplain for New York University, and Executive Director of the Islamic Center at NYU (ICNYU). Under his leadership, ICNYU became the first ever established Muslim student center at an institution of higher education in the United States. Imam Latif’s exceptional dedication and ability to cross interfaith and cultural lines on a daily basis brought him recognition throughout New York City, so much so that in 2007, Mayor Michael Bloomberg nominated Imam Latif to become the youngest chaplain in history of the New York City Police Department at the age of 24.

Most recently, Imam Latif was selected as one of 60 New York City leaders to serve on Mayor Bill de Blasio’s transition team, helping to recommend and select individuals for key roles in the current NYC administration and was also appointed to a “Task Force to Combat Hate” by NYC Public Advocate Letitia James to deal with the rise in Islamophobic, anti semitic, and anti-Sikh sentiment in NYC.
