MSB Celebrates Milaad in an Array of Joy and Happiness

6th Mar 2012

The sun rose offering Tehniyat on 6th March 2012, the birds sang Madeh merrily and all creation
wished Aqa Maula Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin TUS a happy birthday.
The air was filled with festivity at the MSB Shabbirabad premises too on this day and the entire
school busied in different ways, each action a demonstration of their love for their beloved
Moula(TUS)
The day began with a Darees Mubarak with the neeyat of Huzoorala’s TUS Toolul Umr after
which a five tier cake ceremony delighted the children as the air resounded with the sounds
of “101mi Milad Ki Yeh Baha, Ho Mubarak Mubarak Mubarak Shaha” which
instantaneously brought forth memories of Al Muqaddas Shahzada Huzefa Bhaisaheb. The
children dressed in grand Libaas ul Anwar clapped in merriment as every heart wished that Maula
TUS may grace the land of Karachi soon.
At 9.00 am the Primary section program was initiated with the Tilawat of Quran e Majeed by
Naqiya Mustansir of Class 2 and recitation of Qasida Mubaraka. This was followed by the moving
recitation of Marasi Shareefa of Ya Sayedus Shohadai and Fulkul Husain by the young children of
Class 1 and 2. Grade two also recited the Dua for Huzoorala’s TUS Toolul Umr. An exciting quiz
was held between the students of the four houses,Adal, Sabr, Yaqeen and Jihad. The highlight
of the event was the enactment of a play on Faizul Mawaid ul Burhani by the young students of
Class 4 which succeeded in making us grateful for the numerous blessings of this resplendent
Burhani era.

The Upper Primary and Secondary classes held their tehniyat activities in the first half:

Displayed under a canopy in the courtyard for parents to view, were the creative items that the
students had prepared presenting the skills they had acquired during co-curricular activities.

The Musabaqat of Marasiya of Ya Sayedus Shohada was held between two houses ———-Adal
and Sabr in which Adal materialized as the winner after a neck to neck contest. This Marasiya

Qafiya which was thoroughly enjoyed by the spectators and the participants both as Jihad and
Yaqeen competed for first position in which Yaqeen surfaced as the victor.

The Musabaqat of Fulkul Husain between Sabr and Jihad was an exciting sight as Sabr emerged
victorious. 75 students have memorized this exquisite and poignant elegy inscribed by Aqa Maula
