Biswa Ijtema: Akheri Munajat today

Staff Correspondent: The five-day Biswas Ijtema is going to end today through Akheri Munajat following the extension of the congregation by a day due to inclement weather that disrupted the rituals of Indian preacher Maulana Saad followers.

The Akheri Munajat of the Saad followers will be held at 10:00am. Maulana Mohammad Shamim will administrate the Munajat.

Earlier, Indian Islamic preacher Maulana Muhammad Saad Al Kandhalvi followers began their Hedayeti bayan. Indian Islamic scholar Md Iqbal Hafiz administered the A’m bayan while Bangladeshi maulana Syad Osama Islam translated it in Bangla.

Several lakh devotees from home and abroad are taking part in the Biswa Ijtema amid tight security.

On January 24, the government announced the schedule of Ijtema following a meeting with two factions of Tabligh Jamaat. On December 1, the two factions of Tabligh Jamaat were locked into infighting on the Ijtema ground in Tongi that resulted in deferring the Ijtema from January 11 to February 15.

Tabligh Jamaat has been organising the Ijtema at the venue since 1967 while the Ijtema is being held in Bangladesh every year from 1946.
