In 2025, the 'Bishwa Ijtema' will be held in two phases like the last few years.

Home Affairs Advisor Md. Jahangir Alam Chowdhury revealed this information after the meeting with the two factions of Tabligh on Monday (November 04).

He said that the 1st phase of Bishwa Ijtema will be held from January 31 to February 2 next year and the 2nd phase from February 7 to 9 on the Turag riverbank in Tongi.

He also said that although the date of Ijtema had been announced, it had yet to be decided which faction would hold its event first.

They had discussed topics such as the handover and preparation of the Ijtema ground, security, visas for foreign attendees, uninterrupted power supply, construction of floating bridges, emergency disaster arrangements, hygienic food, and traffic management for the final prayer day, Jahangir added.

It is to be noted that Bishwa Ijtema has been held since 1967 on the Turag riverbank in Tongi, Gazipur. Many Muslims from different parts of the world participated in this gathering of Tabligh Jamaat.

The two-phase Ijtema is led by Maulana Saad Kandhalvi of India and the other by Maulana Zubair of Bangladesh.

Although followers of Maulana Saad Kandhalvi participated in the meeting, representatives of Maulana Zubair were absent.
