The event started with the recitation of the Holy Qur'an by Hafiz Akeel from Ashton and this was followed by a beautiful Nasheed by Sister Humaira Tabassum from Sheffield.

It was an evening of entertainment for the whole family with Nasheed performances by young Nasheed artists, Nasir Kareem from Bradford and Shahbaz Hassan Qadri from Ashton.

Ms. Nasreen Akhtar (MWL North President) gave a talk on the importance of giving charity especially in regards to helping orphans and she, also along with Adnan, did a great job at motivating and encouraging the audience to donate towards the projects.
