A Grand Reunion: Rabian Uttara Hosts Annual Iftar

Published: 28 Feb 2026, 12:31 am

On Friday, 27 February 2026, the Raga Art Café in Uttara was transformed into a hub of nostalgia and spiritual reflection. Rabian Uttara, the prominent alumni association of Rajshahi University graduates residing in the northern sector of the capital, hosted its hallmark annual Doa and Iftar Mahfil.

While the association is well-regarded for its year-round calendar of social and cultural initiatives, this particular gathering carried a distinct atmosphere of solemnity and brotherhood, consistent with the sacred month.

A Gathering of Distinction

The event drew an impressive assembly of over 200 former students. These attendees, once peers on the sprawling green campus of Rajshahi University, have since transitioned into distinguished professionals across various sectors, including academia, the civil service, and the media. The evening served as more than just a meal; it was a powerful networking platform and a heartfelt journey down memory lane.

Proceedings and Key Addresses

Presided over by Habibur Rahman Sardar, President of Rabian Uttara, and elegantly moderated by Selim Reza, the session featured brief yet impactful speeches from several notable figures. The speakers lauded the association's commitment to maintaining these traditions, which serve to bridge the gap between different generations of alumni.

A Commitment to Community

"These gatherings are the lifeblood of our alumni community. They remind us that no matter how far we travel in our careers, our roots remain firmly planted in the shared history of our university days."

The Conclusion

The formal segment of the evening concluded with a special prayer (Muna'jat), seeking divine blessings for the nation and the continued prosperity of the university’s alumni. As the sun set, the guests broke their fast together, sharing a traditional Iftar spread in an atmosphere of warmth and camaraderie.
