Muslims across country join Juma\\\'tul Wida

Muslims across the country joined Juma'tul Wida, the last Friday prayers of the holy month of Ramadan, with due with religious zeal and reverence.
Millions of fasting people joined the Juma'tul Wida at mosques seeking forgiveness from the Almighty Allah and divine blessings for peace and progress of the country and unity of the Muslim Ummah, said a news agency report.
The devotees also sought Allah's blessing for the solution of a spectrum of individual and collective problems.
During the Jum'a prayers, ulema and khateebs delivered sermons on the importance of Ramadan, Eitekaf, Eidul Fitr and other religious issues, and exhorted the faithful to submit themselves to the will of Almighty Allah to seek His mercy and blessings.
They also called for a greater unity among the world Muslims to counter the present-day challenges.
Juma'tul Wida has a special significance since it is a prelude to the departure of Ramadan and considered the harbinger of the end of the showering of divine blessings that characterise the month.
The largest 'Juma'tul Wida' congregation was held at Baitul Mukarram National Mosque in the capital. Thousands of devotees took part in the congregation with due religious solemnity.
Special arrangements were made to accommodate the extra-ordinary surge of the faithful in all mosques in various parts of the city.
The management of mosques in many places had erected 'samianas' (tents) outside the main mosque buildings to create additional space for offering of prayers.
At many places, the congestions spilled over onto the streets as mosques lacked sufficient space for the increasing number of devotees.
