Bishwa Ijtema 2nd phase ends with ‘Akheri Munajat’
The second phase of the three-day Bishwa Ijtema ended Sunday
The second phase of the three-day Bishwa Ijtema, the second largest global congregation of Muslims after Hajj, ended Sunday with ‘Akheri Munajat’ (final prayers).
Maulana Muhammad Yusuf Kandhalvi, son of Maulana Muhammad Saad Al Kandhalvi, conducted the ‘Akheri Munajat’ at 12 pm.
Thousands of devotees raised their hands, seeking divine forgiveness and blessings for peace and prosperity of the Muslim ummah. They also prayed for the country’s welfare.
As part of the rationalized traffic system, movement of vehicles remains suspended from 6 am this morning till the Akheri Munajat – from Bhogra Bypass to Addullahpur on Dhaka-Mymensingh highway, Khamarpara Road, and Abdullahpur to Bypile on Ashulia Road.
The second phase of 56th Bishwa Ijtema began on Friday (January 20) with “aam bayaan” (general sermons) after Fajr prayers with the participation of the followers of Indian Islamic preacher Maulana Muhammad Saad Al Kandhalvi.
The first phase of the three-day Bishwa Ijtema ended on January 15.
Tabligh Jamaat has been organising the congregation in Tongi since 1967. In 2011, it divided Ijtema into two phases to accommodate a large number of attendees.
