A large-scale National Imam-Khatib Conference is scheduled to be held in Dhaka on Sunday at the China Friendship Conference Center, organized by the Sammilit Imam-Khatib Parishad. The event aims to promote the independent practice of religious duties by imams and khatibs, ensure their social and state recognition, and present a 10-point demand addressing their welfare and national religious issues. Prominent political and religious leaders, including Hefazat-e-Islam’s Amir Allama Shah Muhibbullah Babunagari, BNP’s acting chairman Tarique Rahman, Jamaat-e-Islami’s Amir Dr. Shafiqur Rahman, and other Islamic leaders, are expected to attend and deliver speeches. Organizers stated that the conference will outline a clear roadmap for protecting national sovereignty, safeguarding Muslim religious rights, ensuring social security and allowances for imams and khatibs, and introducing modern mosque management policies. The gathering is expected to bring together religious scholars from across the country to discuss these national and community concerns.
