Dhaka, Bangladesh. 22nd Jan, 2023. Muslim devotees travel by overcrowded risky trains after attending the Akheri Munajat or final prayers, at the Biswa Ijtema in Tongi, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Locals tackle the journey climbing on, clinging to and clambering along the roofs of locomotives. With no seats available inside, many commuters decide to take the risk and choose a rooftop view for their journey out of Dhaka city. Millions of Muslim devotees from around the world join the four-day long event that culminates in the Akheri Munajat or the Concluding Supplication (Final Prayer) in which muslims raise their hands in front of Allah and pray for world peace. It is the second largest congregation of the Muslim community after the pilgrimage to Mecca for the Hajj. The Ijtema is considered a demonstration of Muslim unity, solidarity, mutual love, and respect and an opportunity to reiterate their commitment to Islamic values. (Credit: Joy Saha / Alamy Live News)
