The topics of discussion were specifically based on the Surah Ad-Dhuha and its meaning.

An example of what they discussed in the forum was the development of youth and the role of orphans and how society today should be concerned about the youths.

The panels of judges were made up of religious scholars.

The youths were guided prior to the forum with their, assigned "mentors", usually an officer from the Mosque Affairs Department, who have the responsibility to ensure the contents of their talk will revolve around the stated surah.

The participants were mainly made up of youths not only who are still studying but also those who are employed.

He also stated that the forum is a continuation of the Surah Ad-Dhuha 4, 5 and 6 from the same forum that was held in Bangar at the Utama Mohammad Salleh Mosque, Temburong.
