Jumatul Wida, the last Friday of Ramadan, was observed across the country on Friday with religious fervour and sanctity. A large number of devotees attended the Juma prayers at different mosques, seeking divine blessings for peace and progress of Bangladesh and unity of the Muslim Ummah.
The biggest Jumatul Wida congregation was held at Baitul Mukarram National Mosque in the capital. Taking part in the congregation, thousands of devotees sought blessings of Allah for peace of the departed souls of their near and dear ones and for the peace and prosperity of the Muslim Ummah.
Special arrangements were made to accommodate the devotees at mosques in different parts of the city.
The authorities at many places erected `shamianas’ (tents) outside the mosque buildings to create additional space for offering prayers.
At many places, the devotees even offered prayers on roads. Khateebs and ulema delivered sermons highlighting the significance of Jumatul Wida. – UNB
