Thousands of Muslims are expected to attend the Johannesburg and Kwa-Zulu-Natal Ijtima this long weekend.
The Ijtima which takes months of planning and preparation is taking place at Mias Farm in Johannesburg and Escourt in KZN from 19 April to 22 April.
Among one of the largest gatherings, the four-day event hosted by the Tabligh Jamaat was revived in 1926 by Moulana Muhammad Ilyas Khandhlawi.
The objective of the Ijtima is to inspire Muslims to go out in the path of Allah and to sacrifice their time and wealth for the sake of Allah.
Radio Islam’s Ml Habib Bobat has encouraged Muslims to attend the Ijtima.
“Upon the culmination of the Ijtima, groups are prepared and they are sent out to the different corners of the country to spread the message of deen and to propagate Islam.”
Last year the ijtima was held in the North West town of Rustenburg.
