The central shura of Talblighi jamaat has decided to organise the three-day annual international Muslims congregation (Tablighi Ijtima) in Raiwind, close to Lahore, for a very limited number of people because of the fear of the second wave of coronavirus in the country. After the final supplications on November 8, the people would leave for their respective areas by following the same SOPs to halt the spread of Covid-19, according to the elders. Elders at the regional Tablighi centres in Peshawar, Swat, Dera Ismail Khan, Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan, Quetta and Karachi would decide participants’ names from their respective regions. According to the elders’ decision, the participants would have to get permission letters from their regional Tablighi centres that would be shown at the entrance of the congregation. Once the participant entered the site of the congregation, they would remain inside the tent through the end.
