The annual event, which combines spiritual reflection with communal breaking of the Ramadan fast, continues to serve as a platform to honour Sound Sultan’s legacy of social consciousness, faith, and unity.
Delivering the lecture, respected Islamic scholar Imam Abdurrahman Ahmad spoke on the importance of spiritual preparedness and “morning fortification” as tools for maintaining focus and discipline in daily life. He also urged attendees to use digital gadgets responsibly, warning against excessive distraction and information overload.
