SLC33-W5: My Community, My Story – Festivals, Culture & Traditions
Hello dear friends,
How are you all? I hope you are well. I am also fine by the grace of Allah. Today, I have come to participate in the fifth week of the Steemit Challenge SLC-S33/W5, organized by the Honorable organizer @josepha sir. He brought a wonderful and thoughtful challenge, whose name is "SLC33-W5: My Community, My Story – Festivals, Culture & Traditions" I feel proud to participate in this challenge.

Traditional religious ceremony is Baisharashi Bishwa Zaker Manzil.
Today I have arrived at Bishwa Zaker Manzil, located in Baishrashi of Faridpur district. The founder of Bishwa Zaker Manzil is Mr. Hazrat Maulana Hashmatullah Faridpuri, who is widely known as the Pir of Atrashi. About 50 years ago, he came to Atrashi of Faridpur and established an Islamic institution. The institution gradually developed further. Peace-loving people from all over the country started coming to Bishwa Zaker Manzil. The place has become a historical site.

Every day, peace-loving people come here and gain valuable knowledge about this world and the next. Gradually, the fame of Bishwa Zaker Manzil has crossed the borders of the country and reached abroad. During special religious events, millions of people gather here. Although Bishwa Zaker Manzil, built over a vast area, is located in Atrashi, due to the large number of followers present here, its perimeter has reached Baishrashi as well.

Renowned scholars are giving speeches.
Today I have chosen Baishrashi as a place to celebrate a historical festival or tradition. It is a place where it is possible to gain spiritual knowledge along with worldly knowledge. The followers of the founder come here like locusts. And worship and attain peace.

Today I am talking about the famous community tradition celebration of our country, which is the Holy World Islamic Conference. It is celebrated as a religious festival. Although various religious festivals are held here every day, religious programs are held in a very big way on special days for Muslims. At that time, millions of devout Muslims come here from all over the country, and Allah is remembered. This gathering of millions of religious people is held in Baisharashi of Faridpur district.

As Muslims, we always follow the instructions of the great Lord of the worlds. We obey his commands. But sometimes, due to the greed of the world, we forget the commands of Allah. We deviate from religious rules. When such a big Islamic gathering is organized, all the famous scholars of the country come. They discuss many important issues in the light of the Holy Quran and Hadith. Listening to those discussions brings peace to the mind and creates interest in obeying the commands of Allah.

That is why the peace-loving people of the country come here on special religious days. And after purifying themselves, they return home and obey the commands of Allah. It is said that the Islamic gatherings held in Baishrashi are a huge platform for self-purification. And therefore, such events are important for our community.

Since the Islamic conference held in Baishrashi is to obtain the grace of the great creator, to gain his presence, there is no music or dance in this event. Rather, everyone here appears with a pure heart and humanity to gain the presence of the great creator. It does not matter who wears expensive clothes and who wears less expensive clothes. Rather, special respect is shown to those who are elderly and religiously experienced. Everyone who comes here is a creation of one Creator, and everyone comes here to gain his mercy.

Speech is being made praising the Creator.
Food is arranged for everyone present here. Everyone enjoys the same type of food sitting on the ground. Everyone accepts it as a special blessing of the Creator. Respect for the elders and affection for the younger ones are expressed in this Islamic conference. And to gain the immense mercy of the Creator, people spend time here by performing prayers, dhikr, and various kinds of worship.
Tell us what you enjoy the most about the tradition or celebration. |

Every moment of the Islamic conference held in Baishrashi is enjoyable. Millions of people attend the prayer and zikir milad organized here. The entire area is filled with Allah Allah zikir on their lips. The atmosphere of celebration prevails in the area on the occasion of this conference. Hundreds of mobile businesses are doing business. Everyone has a joyful atmosphere on their faces. However, the most enjoyable thing for me is the way the food is served here.

The food is always open for the guests who come, except during prayer time. So that they can eat their food on time, many volunteers start cooking, deliver the food to the food court, and then distribute it to the guests. They work day and night but do not take anything in return. They are happy to serve here. I really like their sacrifice.

The history of Baishrashi Bishwa Zaker Manzil is very long. Islamic conferences have been held here for 50 years. The beautiful environment here, the love of people for people, and the choice of the way of self-purification after coming here make people interested in this place. Seeing one person, another comes here and changes himself and takes a vow to become a devotee of the Creator. Currently, there are several crores of devotees in the country and abroad who come here regularly, and they believe that the peace that can be found after coming to this place is not found anywhere else.

People are listening attentively to the speech.
I myself am a devotee of this Bishrashi Bishwa Zaker Manzil, and whenever there is an event here, I try to attend it.
I would like to appeal to the new visitors: if you want to achieve closeness to Allah, if you want to see the love of people for the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), then come to Baisharashi Bishwa Zaker Manzil at least once, where Allah is always remembered. There is worship and worship all night. I am here
By observing the environment here, your love for the Creator will increase. The desire to follow His instructions more will be awakened.

A religious gathering like the one you have shared often promotes peaceful coexistence among worshippers and serves as a way of offering homage. I can see the multitude of people in attendance. Since you're closer to Bishwa Zaker Manzil, you didn't need to miss such an event.

You have written in great detail about the atmosphere of Bishwa Zaker Manzil and the Islamic Jalsa there. The way people gather here in search of self-purification and spiritual peace, leaving behind the material noise, is clearly understood. I think the most wonderful aspect of this event is its discipline and the selfless service of the volunteers. It is not easy to arrange food for millions of people and that too completely free of cost and with a smile. Without any kind of music or external pomp, the scene of everyone sitting on the ground, forgetting the distinction between high and low, eating together, and being engaged in the remembrance of Allah is truly exemplary. Such gatherings play a big role in increasing mutual sympathy and social brotherhood among people. As a common visitor, this spiritual atmosphere of Zaker Manzil and the experience of people's sacrifice that you have highlighted will give anyone a clear idea about this atmosphere. Many people from our area go there every year. Best wishes to you in this contest. 😊
