The first phase of the 58th Biswa Ijtema concluded with the final prayer at Turagtir in Tongi. The prayer began at 9:10 am on Sunday (February 2) and ended at 9:36 am. The prayer was conducted by Maulana Zubair Ahmed.
In prayer, people seek forgiveness from Allah Almighty with tearful eyes and pray for the welfare of the Muslim Ummah.
On this day, as far as the eye can see, only a crowd of devotees was seen. These God-loving people are joining the ranks of millions of devotees and reaching out to the court of the Most Merciful.
The 58th Biswa Ijtema began on Thursday (January 30) after Maghrib prayers on the banks of the Turag River in Tongi with a public address by Maulana Ibrahim Deola of India. Lakhs of devotees participated in the three-day Ijtema, the first phase of the first phase of the Shuray Nizam.
The organizers of the Ijtema said that the first phase of this year's Bishwa Ijtema will be held in two phases. The first phase of the Ijtema will be held from January 31 to February 2. Devotees from 41 districts and a part of Dhaka participated in this phase.
Then, the second phase of the Ijtema will be held from February 3 to February 5. Devotees from 22 districts and the rest of Dhaka will participate in this phase. The followers of Maulana Saad of India will organize the second phase of the Bishwa Ijtema from February 14 with a break of 8 days. The 2025 Bishwa Ijtema will end with the final prayer on February 16.
The first Biswa Ijtema in Bangladesh was organized in 1946 at Kakrail Mosque. As the population increased day by day, Biswa Ijtema was organized regularly on the Turag bank of Tongi after the Haji Camp in Chittagong and Siddhirganj in Narayanganj. The center of Biswa Ijtema's final prayer is the last day of the Ijtema. Every year, on the last day of the Ijtema, ordinary Muslims, in addition to Tablighi followers, gather on the Turag bank. The entire Tongi area is filled to the brim. Many people take up positions around the ground since the previous night.
