Biswa Ijtema
Biswa Ijtema ameliorates ethics and morality, teaches people to sustain pains and affliction in distress and to remember Allah as much as possible. The best way to remember Allah is to offer Namaj five times a day and the recital from the Quran at dawn.
1. Establish prayer for My remembrance-20/14
2. The remembrance of Allah is the greatest-29/45
3. Establish prayer from the decline of the sun [from its meridian] until the darkness of the night and the recital of the Qur’an at dawn. Indeed, the recital of the Quran at dawn is ever witnessed-17/78.
4. And establish prayer at the two ends of the day and at the approach of the night. Indeed, good deeds do away with misdeeds. That is a reminder for those who remember-11/114.
Every year tens of thousands of Muslims from home and abroad assemble on the bank of the River Turag in Gazipur district, braving cold weather and scarcity of transports. Nevertheless, they are not worried whether they will be able to sleep at night and cook their foods. They eagerly listen to what is said by the Islamic scholars of home and abroad and are satisfied at all situations.
But for this, we need patience, courage, education and knowledge. It has been said in the Quran that Allah is with those who are patient and do good to others.
1. He said: Read! In the name of thy Lord, who created-96/1
2. O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.-2/153
3. Allah teaches us how to invite the misguided to the light of Islam. The text of the Verse No. 16/125 is: Call unto the way of your Lord with wisdom and good admonition and argue with them in a way that is best.
