- Supplicating for the flourishing of humanity, unity, and global peace
- Massive Bhopal Tablighi Ijtema concludes
Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh — The four-day Aalmi Tablighi Ijtema concluded peacefully on Monday at Eintkhedi with the emotionally charged Dua-e-Khaas (special mass prayer). Over 15 lakh attendees participated, listening intently as Hazarat Ji Maulana Saad, the chief speaker and head of the Delhi Markaz, led the 27-minute prayer for global peace and well-being.
= End discrimination with respect
In his address before the final prayer, Maulana Saad delivered a powerful message on communal harmony. He stated that the best way to eradicate sectarianism (Tassub) from the country is for Muslims to become known for honouring non-Muslim brethren.
“Respect non-Muslim brothers more than your own kin, and discrimination will end in this country,” he urged. He emphasized that every Muslim must be committed to reviving and populating mosques as centers for faith and good conduct.
= Mass prayer for peace and prosperity
The prayer session was marked by “pin drop silence,” punctuated only by the resounding echoes of “Aameen” from the massive gathering. Maulana Saad prayed for prosperity, forgiveness of sins, good health, blessings in livelihood, salvation, and the pursuit of truth.
= Seamless logistics amidst exodus
Despite the immense crowd that had converged since Sunday evening to attend the final Dua, the event management excelled. 12 ambulances were escorted effortlessly through the vast gathering by volunteers forming human chains, showcasing remarkable discipline. Following the Dua, the organized dispersal began, with thousands of pilgrims, including Jamat members departing for missionary work in various parts of India and 23 foreign countries, smoothly making their way home.
= International participation
The global reach of the event was evident, with 23 countries sending religious delegations, including the US, UK, Malaysia, Germany, and France. The Ijtema, centered on spiritual renewal and piety, now sees the departure of thousands of missionaries for year-long, four-month, and forty-day tours.
