Inauguration Day

It was another grand function attended by a sizable number of students and parents. The Inauguration of STA and Clubs. The school hall was almost full with parents and students. Plagued with the failure of the sound system, the function had to be stopped for a while and with the help of some School Board members, the function re-started with a new amp and a speaker.

President of Dharivarunge Rooh, Humaid Mohamed of 10B gave his inaugural speech in which he highlighted the plans of STA this year.

The fashion Show of English club was well cheered by the audience, and Miss Kolamaafushi contest by JELA was noteworthy.The presentation about  nutritious food, by the science Club was very informative, while news presentation by Eco club received a huge applause. Notably the pest like cameraman, the superman, the Bangladeshi worker, who mistook  a sindoor on a woman's forehead for a red button of exit in an airplane,   was hilarious. But the whole credit goes to the news presenters.

Finally, the event ended with Islam Club's presentation of an awareness about their activities.
The Madaha presented by the club was beautiful.

The chief guest of the event was Dr. Bikas Shah (medical Ofiicer of Kolamaafushi Health Centre. The Function was attended by school Board, and PTA executive committee members.

Prophet Muhammad's Birthday



وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ
Al-Anbiya, Ch 21, Ayat 107
'We sent thee not, but as a Mercy for all creation.'

Should we celebrate Prophet Muhammad's Birthday?

Celebrating the Prophet's birthday is bida (an innovation in the religion); the Prophet (saaws) did not instruct others to do it, and he didn't have companions around him doing it and then give any type of permission (including silent permission).
We are not to make distinction between any of the Prophets. Distinction in status, for instance. Like to say one is better than another. This leads to idol worship, similar to what the christians did when they began to worship Jesus instead of treat him as the Prophet he was. They just took it a step too far.. and kept running with it, up to what it is today.
  • The Prophet (sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam) has said: Do not over praise me as the Christians over-praised the son of Mary. I am His slave so say: 'Allah's slave and messenger' [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
What is important about each Prophet and/or Messenger is the MESSAGE.
