The first part of the first phase of Bishwa Ijtema ended on Sunday (Feb 2) through 'Akheri Munajat' (final prayers) for the welfare of the country and the world. The final prayer was conducted by Maulana Zubair, top spiritual leader of Shura-e-Nezami, Bangladesh. The prayer began at 9:00 a.m. and ended around 9:35 a.m.
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.
Devotees thronged the Dhaka-Mymensingh highway since early morning on the occasion of the final prayer.
