The only Madani Ijtima's that go on for all night are the Main Big [Division] Ijtima's which take place in Rabi un Noor [Milaad Ijtima], Rajab [Laylatul Mir'aaj Ijtima], Sha'ban [Shab e Barat Ijtima] and Ramadan [Laylatul Qadr Ijtima]...

**Dawat-e-Islami has split UK into divisions [similar to counties] in which there are at least 5 cities that make up one madani Division..There are some divisions that have 6 or more cities. eg My division is called Zia e Murshid and is made up of Nottingham, leicester,Derby, Peterborough and Chesterfield. We have a Divison Ijtima every Thursday in Nottingham, Islami bros/sis travel from throughout the Division to the Ijtima. This weekly Division Ijtima is for only 2 hours. Although Islami brothers do Nafali Itekaf all night in the Masjid and return home after salatul Fajr [this is not the case with many people that attend the ijtima, mostly it is zimadaars of Nottingham that do itekaf after this division Ijtima].

This tarkeeb is the same in every other divison of Dawat-e-Islami in UK. From my notes late last year there were 9 divisions of Dawat-e-Islami in UK.

** Every Big Ijtima that goes on for all night is also a Division Ijtima, but Islamic brothers tend do more Mehnat and invite more people, because these are prime opportunites to guide people onto the path of the Qur'an and Sunnah.

**Last year the people of Nottingham witnessed the first annual Shab e barat Graveyard ijtima. Islamic brothers prayed salatul Maghrib at the nearest masjid, then made their way to the cemetry. The Ijtima went on for 1:30 mins then people made their way back to the masjid and continued the ijtima till Fajr. [It is sunnat to visit the graveyard on the night of Shab e barat. Alhamdullilah this was the first of its kind in Nottingham, was mentioned in local newspaper and a magazine. Insha'Allah azzawajal the responsible brothers are in talks with the graveyard representatives and the local council and we hope that this year the ijtima will be for at least 4 hours in the graveyard. I was really impressed with the way Dawat-e-islami organised this ijtima last year, Carpets had been lain, there were lights and good speaker systems. This was also a Division level ijtima. The magazine people reported that there over 400 muslims had gathered that night!
