The invited schools competed among themselves and each school picturing to take home the stated trophies showed their talents in reciting the words of the Merciful lord. All schools did amazingly well with their melodious voices saying the words of Allah, making the crowd to be spiritually moved. Among the schools that attended were Nusrat SSS, Kotu SSS, ST.

The students of the school on this day prepare foods and drinks for the people and we call it IFTARR. People break their fast in the school and get served with meal partially financed by the students. This has been the case over the years and we hope it to continues for posterity.
