Iztema – Concept to unite
Aurangabad, March 1,
2018: Maulana Saad organised ‘Iztema’ on February 24, 25 and 26. The event was
successful and approximately 1.2 crore people had attended the function. It was
a state level function and it is organised only 1 time in a year. Also, in
total 412 people from foreign countries attended the function.
First, Iztema was
organised in 1927 in Bengal by Maulana Iliyas Al-Kandhlawi. The concept behind
Iztema is to gather all the Muslims and preach them about the truth of their
religion and different sessions are kept for the same. Also, the arrangements
for food and halt are made by the organisation for all the people who attend
the function. All the certified Maulanas are invited from the city to attend
the function and preach about the religion in the form of ‘Bayan’. Also, after the preaching sessions, question and answer
sessions are also kept for clearing any kind of doubt related to the religion.
Depending on the place
where Iztema is being held, all the big and established mosques from respective
districts gather and collect the money required for the function (Taun) and take the responsibility into
their hands. It usually starts from the Fajr
namaz (Morning Prayer) until Isha namaz
(Night Prayer). In most of the places, arrangements are made for men and women
both separately and no age barrier is kept for the function. Also, food is not
only kept for the people who attend but is kept open for all the people and
anyone can ask for it and not only that, all the beverages and refreshments are
kept free for all.
On the last day, ‘Dua’ is the most important part of the
Iztema for which many of the Muslims attend the Iztema. Iztema is also known as
Islamic congregation and not only food is kept open but, books related to religion are also kept for people to buy at
lower rates than usual rates.
