GAZIPUR, Feb 18 (BSS): The five-day Biswas Ijtema will end tomorrow through Akheri Munajat following the extension of the congregation by a day due to inclement weather that disrupted the rituals of Indian preacher Maulana Saad followers.
On Sunday, Indian Islamic preacher Maulana Muhammad Saad Al Kandhalvi followers began their A'm bayan (general sermons) after Fajr prayers.
After the beginning of the bayan, heavy shower and thunderbolt disrupted the rituals of the devotees prompting the authorities to extend the ijtema by another day.
The time has been extended so that Islamic scholars from home and abroad can deliver their sermons properly, State Minister for Youth and Sports Zahid Ahsan Rasel said.
Maulana Saad followers entered the Ijtema ground on Saturday after another faction of Tabligh Jammat led by Maulana Zubair Hasan, imam of the Kakrail mosque in Dhaka, left the ground after performing Akheri Munajat in the morning on that day.
Senior Islamic scholar of Kakrail mosque Hafez Mawlana Mohammad Zubaer led the prayer both in Bangla and Arabic languages.
From Sunday, Syed Wasiful Islam, who leads the other group that follows Indian preacher Maulana Saad Kandhalvi, is supervising the ijtema on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
Several thousand devotees from home and abroad are taking part in the Biswa Ijtema.
