Dhaka, Bangladesh (BBN)– Muslims across the country on Friday observed the holy Jum’atul Wida, the last Jum’a (Friday prayers) in the holy month of Ramadan, with due solemnity and religious fervour.
A large number of devotees attended the Jum’a prayers held in mosques across the country with special munajats seeking divine blessings for peace and progress of the country and the unity of the Muslim Ummah.
The largest ‘Juma’tul Wida’ congregation was held at Baitul Mukarram National Mosque in Dhaka. Thousands of devotees took part in the congregation. Special arrangements were made to accommodate the extraordinary surge of the faithful in all mosques in various parts of the city.
