Lahore: The first phase of a four day Raiwind Tablighi Ijtima (religious gathering) ended on a high with heartfelt prayers by Maulana Zubair al Hasan of India on the last day of the spiritual meeting. The prayers, on the last day, began in the morning at 8:50 and continued for half an hour. Thousands of devotees joined the prayers with ‘Ameen Ameen’ on their tongue.
Meanwhile, thousands of more groups left for Raiwind from nearby areas to attend the three day Tablighi Ijitma which is going to begin from 15th November that will be attended by followers from Karachi, Balochistan and South Punjab.
The number of participants increased to more than four lacs on the last day of the event. Central Ameer of Tablighi Jamaat Haji Abdul Wahab addressed on the last day of the four day Tablighi Ijtima that started from 8th November where he said that the one and only way to revive the Muslims is coming back to Islam and adopting the mission of preaching Islam all over the world. It is very unfortunate that instead of preaching Islam to the non-Muslims, the majority of Muslims today takes pride in following the footsteps of Jews and Christians.
Maulana Zubair al Hasan said that Muslims should not get involve in useless discussions like Deobandi-Barelvi or Hanfi issues. It will be the wastage of time, if we get indulged in discussions of green, yellow, black, white or red turbines. Due to these futile debates we are left away from the race of the world, we should see who follows the Sunnah of Prophet Salallaho Aliyhe Wasallam and judge through it who is a good Muslim.
