Ramadan Prayer Congregation

Ma'din organises an annual prayer meeting during Ramadan, which is reported to be the largest in India and the third largest in the world, after those held in Mecca and Medina.[3][4][5]

The central attraction and the focal point of all activities where Ma'din takes its inspiration from is the Swalath congregation held on the last Thursday of every month which is led by Sayyid Ibraheemul Khaleel Al Bukhari[6] with up to 600,000 people attending.[7]
