Mother Mary in Islam

Grateful for the beautiful journey of understanding and unity at the ‘Mother Mary in Islam’ interfaith event. We came together to explore the shared reverence for Mary, a remarkable figure cherished by both Muslims and Christians. Our hearts and minds were enlightened by the wisdom and love present in the diverse perspectives shared. Let’s continue fostering dialogue, respect, and compassion as we embrace our common values. 

We express our gratitude to the organizers, volunteers, and supporters who made this event possible. Your dedication and hard work have made a profound impact on our community. Thank you for helping us take a step closer towards a more harmonious and inclusive society.

May the blessings of Mother Mary and the Divine guide us on our path towards unity and peace. #MotherMaryInIslam #InterfaithDialogue #UnityInDiversity #LoveAndRespect #PeacefulCoexistence #InterfaithLove #UnityInDiversity

Power of Nights – Laylat Al-Qadr Iftar Dinner at Summerlin Area Command

We had a wonderful interfaith iftar dinner on the 27th night of Ramadan, which is Laylat Al Qadr a.k.a. Power of Nights. The event was hosted at LVMPD Summerlin Area Command by the collaboration of LVMPD Summerlin Area Command and Silver Sage Foundation.

This Power of Night Iftar dinner event brought people from different faiths and backgrounds together to share a meal, break bread, and learn from one another. While Summerlin Area Command hosted the event, the volunteers of Silver Sage Foundation set up the tables, room, and prepared the delicious meal.

The event started with the welcome speech by Kevin McMahill, the LVMPD sheriff. Sheriff McMahill thanked all the participants and the volunteers of Silver Sage Foundation for being the co-host of the event. Dr. Ali Shehata talked about the Laylat Al-Qadr. Later, participants watched a short video about Ramadan and listened to the “call for adhan” to break their fast.

We believe that events like these are essential in fostering mutual respect, understanding, and appreciation among people of different backgrounds. We hope that this event will serve as a platform for meaningful connections and conversations that will contribute to building a more inclusive and united community.

We, Silver Sage Foundation, want to express our deepest gratitude to all who attended, and to the volunteers who prepared delicious food. Your commitment to fostering understanding and goodwill across communities is amazing.

Ramadan Kareem! 🌙✨

Due to the overwhelmingly positive response, Silver Sage Foundation – Reno Office will continue these interfaith efforts and publicize future events among faith and peoples in the Northern Nevada area.
