ANNUAL DAY 2023
Quranic Recitation
21st Annual Day program brought 20 Islamic schools/Masajids together from 3 states
including Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio. Annual Day brings together youth from regional
Islamic schools for a weekend of competition and fun. We had a total of 44 basketball teams, 67 Quranic reciters from 20 schools, and many guests from across three states.
Program on such a large scale is impossible without the help of 100s of volunteers
from our community.
Br. Munam Syed, Br. Nadeem Quraishi, Br. Isa Ar-Razi (the backbone of the Basketball Tournament), Sr. Tilat Rizvi (Annual Day Program Organizer & Vice Principal
IWS), would like to thank each one of you who helped us to make this program successful.
May Allah SWT bless all these dedicated volunteers and their families.
