Madressa Annual Prize Ceremony
ANNUAL PRIZE DISTRIBUTION CEREMONY
Alhamdulillah, all the madressa administration, teachers, parents, students and Jamaat EC and general members got together on 20th December to celebrate the end of a successful year. We embarked on madressa project last year and this year has seen the end of first successful year with achievements in academics, co-ordination, team-building, community sense and real brotherhood.
Annual Prize Distribution started at 11 AM. Brother Zuhair Merali commenced proceedings and invited Mohammad Iqbal (Student Class 1) for Tilawat. This was followed by nasheed recitation by Ammar Abbas (Class 4) and Hamza Abbas (Class 7). The audience joined them in their praise with ‘Allah-hu-Allah’. Imran Ladak (Class 7) reflected on his year at madressa. It was the followed by Principal Brother Qamar Abbas’s annual report. He summarised last year and presented plans for next year. His presentation can be viewed by clicking here.
Madressa students then presented a play on hajj. It was in light of Imam Ali Zain-ul-Abidin (AS)’s famous saying when he advised us to follow the spirit of Islam rather than just following rituals. Sister Aqila Manji and Sister Shabnam Valji had taken the responsibility for organising the play and Farwa Jeddy narrated the story.
The Parents’ representative and Br Nadeem Sheikh (Jamaat Secretary) then spoke to audience. Later on trophies and certificates were distributed among the children. Madressa annual magazine was also distributed at the same time.
Programme finished with Salaat Dhuhrain and lunch.
A DVD of the programme was recorded which can be purchased for £5 (contact Parents Representative) and all money will proceed to madressa funds.
