The five-day Jor Ijtema organized by the Shura-e-Nezam faction of the Tabligh Jamaat is set to begin at the Tongi World Ijtema ground in Gazipur on Friday after Fajr prayers. The event, which serves as a preparatory congregation held about 40 days before the annual World Ijtema, will conclude with the Akheri Munajat (final prayer) on Tuesday, December 2. According to media coordinator Habibullah Raihan, followers of Maulana Zubair Ahmad from home and abroad have already started gathering at the venue’s tin-shed mosque, where senior scholars will deliver guidance and sermons. Tongi West Police Station Officer-in-Charge Md Harun-or-Rashid confirmed that additional police forces will be deployed to ensure the safety of the attendees. Earlier, followers of Maulana Saad Ahmad Kandhalvi held a similar five-day Jor Ijtema in Atibazar, Keraniganj, from November 7 to 11.
