Nationwide Eid-ul-Azha Congregations by Hezbut Tawheed Reflect Unity and Spiritual Awakening
A Celebration of Unity, Faith, and Sacrifice Across Bangladesh
In a powerful display of spiritual devotion and national unity, Hezbut Tawheed successfully organised Eid-ul-Azha prayers across Bangladesh. From bustling cities to serene rural fields, thousands gathered under the open sky with one shared intention: to seek peace, express devotion, and revive the true spirit of Islam.
Marked by inclusive participation and meaningful sermons, these congregations not only highlighted the religious significance of Qurbani but also echoed a call for social harmony and justice.
Central Congregation in Noakhali: A Spiritual Epicentre
The central congregation took place at Hezbut Tawheed’s headquarters in Chashirhat, Sonaimuri (Noakhali). From the break of dawn, worshippers arrived from every corner of the country. Imam Hossain Mohammad Selim led the prayer and sermon, delivering a powerful message on the essence of sacrifice, urging the Ummah to unite under Tawheed.
Speeches by coordinator Nizam Uddin and Women’s Secretary Rufaidah Ponni highlighted the importance of gender inclusion in worship — a practice rooted in Islamic history but often overlooked today.
Highlights from Major Cities & Districts
Dhaka (Uttara)
A massive congregation was held in Uttara. Farid Uddin Rabbani, president of Hezbut Tawheed Dhaka North, led the prayer. Divisional leaders such as Dr. Mahbub Alam Mahfuz and Moshiur Rahman emphasised Islamic unity and resistance against global injustices.
Rajshahi
Thousands gathered at Talaimari Field, with both men and women praying together. Sermons focused on Palestine solidarity and Muslim unity.
Barisal
Held at Cadet College Field, Maulana Latif addressed the ongoing crisis in Gaza. The mood was emotional, and prayers were made for oppressed communities.
Mymensingh, Kushtia, Meherpur, Natore
Each of these regions witnessed remarkably organised congregations, led by local imams and leaders. The recurring themes were self-sacrifice, unity, and the revival of early Islamic values.
Jessore, Jhenaidah, Jamalpur, Thakurgaon
Spiritual leaders addressed the need to sacrifice ego, division, and injustice — not just animals — as a way to attain Allah’s pleasure.
Women’s Participation: A Return to Prophetic Practice
In many districts, the presence of women praying alongside men in a disciplined and respectful setting was not only notable but historic. As one female worshipper expressed,
"For the first time, I prayed with my family on Eid just as the women did in the Prophet’s time — it was deeply fulfilling."
A United Message for the Ummah
Hezbut Tawheed’s sermons this year were unified in their core message:
“True sacrifice lies not only in slaughtering animals but in offering your ego, hatred, and disunity on the altar of peace and justice.”
The prayers ended with special supplications for global peace — particularly for Palestine, where countless innocents continue to suffer under occupation and war.
Conclusion
Eid-ul-Azha 2025 under the banner of Hezbut Tawheed stood out as a nationwide movement of spiritual awakening, gender inclusion, and moral unity. At a time of global crisis and religious misunderstanding, these congregations served as a reminder that the true essence of Islam lies in sacrifice, equality, and peace for all.
