Special Assembly

There was a special assembly to mark the day Maldives embraced Islam. Like the previous special assembly, there were invitees, the councilors of the Island, School Board members, and a large number of parents. The assembly began with recitation of holy Quran (more verses were recited than normal assembly) by Mana Thagiyyu, followed by the translation of verses by Amal Jaleel. The assembly was introduced by President of Islam club, Ramla Hilmy.

There was a Madhaha presented by a group of students and also a piece of presentation of the folklore story of how Maldives embraced Islam.

The chief Guest of the assembly, Ahmed Jameel, (president of Kolamaafushi Council) spoke on the importance of the day, importance of retaining the Islamic faith for ever in the country for the future generations. In his speech he emphasized that we are the custodians of the religion and therefore we as Muslims must protect the religion, revive the values of Islam by fulfilling the five pillars of Islam accordingly.

The ceremony ended with a special sermon,(duaa) led by Shimshaz of grade 12

There was also a Dharus (on screen) conducted by Islam Club and a very large number of parents and students  attended to watch it. Furthermore, there was a Quran recitation program (complete recitation of Quran from beginning to end) on 7th March after Subha prayers. Parents prefects PTA members and SMT members joined the function.
