Held at the historic Karak Castle, the iftar hosted a
group of women from Karak active in the fields of education, social welfare,
culture, volunteer work, and charitable efforts.
After the breaking of fast, Her Majesty expressed her
warm wishes for the holy month of Ramadan to the accomplished women in
attendance and their families, adding that she has sorely missed these pleasant
gatherings.
“I am very happy to be here during the first week of
Ramadan, surrounded by my sisters, the devoted women of Karak,” Queen Rania
said.
“Ramadan is always a month of goodwill, blessings, and
reconnecting with loved ones, but this year it feels even more special than
usual — perhaps because we have been unable to get together for iftar like this
for the past two years,” she added.
In turn, the governor of Karak, Mohammad Fayez,
thanked Her Majesty for her work to uplift the lives of people across the
country. He went on to highlight the positive feedback of a group of women
participating in an umra mission organized by the Queen this Ramadan.
A total of 550 women hailing from across Jordan will
perform the lesser pilgrimage to Mecca as part of the mission throughout the
holy month, the first group of whom left Jordan on Tuesday.
