Students of various institutes of the university including INS, IPM&R, IPS, IMH&BS, and IPH&SS participated in Husn-e-Qirat and Naat Khawani competitions while Qari Fawad Hussain and Qari Inayatullah were the judges of the competition.

Qari Abdul Rauf Madani, while addressing the ceremony as a chief guest, said that such positive and healthy activities in educational institutions are the need of the hour. He said that the Holy Qur'an is the last inspired holy book of Allah, which is obligatory for all Muslims to understand, read, follow, and convey to others. He said that the recitation of one letter of the Qur'an is rewarded with ten good deeds, so we must give some time in our twenty-four hours of life to the recitation and translation

 of the Holy Quran.

He said that naat is an excellent way of expressing love and devotion to the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and the interest of our students in naat khwani is a practical expression of love and devotion to the Holy Prophet (PBUH). He expressed the hope that such positive activities will not only be continued in Khyber Medical University but students from other public and private institutions affiliated to KMU will also be given an opportunity to participate in them.
