Ijtema Special Train is Entering Tongi Junction, Bangladesh. 

The first phase of the three-day 53rd Biswa Ijtema, the second largest Muslim congregation after the Hajj, will end with the Akheri Munajat (concluding prayer) on the banks of Turag River in Tongi on Sunday.

Senior most Imam (Pesh Imam) of Kakrail Jame Mosque Mawlana Md Jubaer will conduct the concluding prayer seeking peace, happiness and well-being of the Muslim Ummah anytime between 11:15am to 10:45am, said one of the organizers.

“Around 2 to 2.5 million people from all walks of life, including cabinet members, lawmakers, professionals and political leaders, are expected to join the Akheri Munajat before the Zohr prayers,” said Gazipur City Corporation Mayor Professor MA Mannan.

Earlier on Friday, the Ijtema formally began with “ambayan” (general sermon) after Fazr prayers at dawn amid tight security.

Noted ulema-mashaekhs in their sermons called for following the guidance of the Holy Quran and Sunnah. The sermons were translated into different languages of the world.

The Bishwa Ijtema (Bengali: বিশ্ব ইজতেমা, meaning Global Congregation) is an annual gathering of Muslims in Tongi, by the banks of the River Turag, in the outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh. It is now the largest Islamic congregation at 5 Million; easily surpassing the second largest now being Hajj which was formerly the largest Islamic congregation at 2 million and 3 million. It is one of the largest peaceful gatherings in the world. The Ijtema is a prayer meeting spread over three days, during which attending devotees perform daily prayers while listening to scholars reciting and explaining verses from the Quran. It culminates in the Akheri Munajat, or the Final Prayer, in which millions of devotees raise their hands in front of Allah (God) and pray for world peace. The Ijtema is considered a demonstration of Muslim unity, solidarity, mutual love and respect and an opportunity to reiterate their commitment to Islamic values.

The Ijtema is non-political and therefore it draws people of all persuasion. It is attended by devotees from 150 countries.[3] The majority of its devotees come from across Bangladesh, the world's third largest Muslim majority country.

Speakers include Islamic scholars from various countries.
