Second phase of Ijtema ends with ‘Akheri Munajat’

The second phase of the three-day 57th Bishwa Ijtema – the second largest congregation of Muslims – ended on Sunday (February 11) through “Akheri Munajat” (final prayer) on the banks of the Turag river.

Maulana Yusuf, the son of esteemed Indian cleric Maulana Muhammad Saad Kandhalvi, conducted the 'Munajat'. Thousands of devotees sought mercy from Almighty Allah by raising their hands for divine forgiveness, blessings for peace and prosperity of the Muslim ummah. They also prayed for the country’s welfare.

Earlier on Saturday, the top leaders of Ijtema delivered important speeches on Tabligh to the devout Muslims gathered at Ijtema Maidan.

It is to be noted that due to the Tabligh Jamaat dispute, Biswha Ijtema is being held in two phases for the past few years. The first phase of Bishwa Ijtema began on February 1 and ended on February 4.
