Check out the photos.
It was topped off with a tour of the mosque.
The event has been a regular part of their calendar since 2007 and also allows the general public to get up close with a mosque.
Association external affairs secretary Mirza Ramzan Sharif said it was a way for them to reach out to the broader community.
``By celebrating we instil the love further, particularly in our younger generation,’’ he said.
