Moulana Karim ibn Mosobbir, a former central leader of Hefazat-e-Islam Bangladesh, has urged the two factions of Tabligh Jamaat to resolve their differences and reunite ahead of the upcoming Bisswa Ijtema.
In a statement, he said differences of opinion among Islamic scholars could be a source of mercy, but conflicts that result in division and factionalism could not be considered a blessing.
Referring to previous incidents of violence at the Bisswa Ijtema grounds in Tongi and inside mosques in different parts of the country, Moulana M A Karim called on senior leaders of both factions to set aside their grievances, meet and reach an immediate reconciliation.
He said the core mission of Tabligh Jamaat is to guide people towards the path of Allah and encourage them to reform their lives in accordance with Islamic teachings.
“Before the upcoming Bisswa Ijtema, both sides should clear their hearts of all grievances, meet one another, resolve their differences and reunite,” he said, expressing hope that the two sides would reconcile.
