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.
