Biswa Ijtema’s 2nd phase continue

The second phase of Biswa Ijtema is continuing amid sermons being delivered in Tongi on the capital’s outskirt on Saturday.

The three-day Muslim congregation began on the bank of the Turag River after Fazr prayers on Friday.

Tens of thousands of devotees, both from home and abroad, are converging on the congregation venue and attending the prayers with reciting the names of Allah and hearing the sermons.

Maulana Mohammad Khorshed of India delivered sermons after Fazr prayers while Maulana Sakib Hossain of Bangladesh translated those into Bengali.

The second phase of Ijtema will end tomorrow (Sunday) with Akheri Munajat (concluding prayers).
