Addressing on the occasion, they said Tableeghi Ijtema was a small gathering as compared to that to be staged on the Day of Judgement for which every Muslim should prepare him/herself.
Therefore, everyone should follow Allah's commandments and the teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) so that they could get His blessings and forgiveness, they added.
Special dua was offered for the unity, solidarity and developing harmony in the Muslim Ummah. The Ijtema also offered fateha for the souls departed in the October 8 calamity.
