Millions of devout Muslims participated in it.
Even today on Friday, Muslims from different places are coming to the place of Ijtema. Their main purpose is to attend the grand Friday prayers. On Saturday and Sunday, the Ijtema ground of Tongir will be filled with the speeches of elders from different countries. This year's World Ijtema will conclude with the last prayer on Sunday. A major objective of this Ijtema is to seek peace and prosperity of the world community including Bangladesh. Millions of devout Muslims flock to the shores of Turag in the hope of gaining closeness to the Almighty Lord.
It may be noted that the World Ijtema has been divided into two phases for the past few years due to crowding. 32 districts participated in the first phase and 32 districts in the second phase. However, even though there is a break from Sunday to Friday, many Muslims of Taklib Jamaat are staying there. After participating in the second phase of the final prayer, they will return to their respective districts.
