Biswa Ijtema’s 2nd phase enters 2nd day

Staff Correspondent, Gazipur: The second phase of Biswa Ijtema, one of the largest religious congregations of the Muslim world, entered second day on Saturday.


The second phase of Bishwa Ijtema began after Fazr prayers on Friday with the ‘Aam Boyan (religious sermon) by Islamic scholars and prayers and it will end with Akheri Munajat on Sunday, seeking spiritual well-being and welfare of the Muslim Ummah.


Lakhs of Muslim devotees from home and aboard have thronged the Bishwa Ijtema.


After Fazr prayers on Saturday, Islamic scholars are delivering sermon.

 

Members from different law enforcement agencies have been deployed in and around the Ijtema ground for ensuring security of the devotees.


Several health centres have been set up at different parts of the venue along with beds and almost all first aid and other treatment facilities with doctors doing round-the-clock duty at each centre.

 

Special measures have also been taken to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply during the three-day Ijtema.

 

The first phase of Biswa Ijtema started on January 13 and ended on January 15.

 

Tablig Jamaat has been organizing the Ijtema at the venue since 1967. Now, Ijtema is held in two phases since 2011 to ease the accommodation problem.
