The tradition of Ijtema was initiated Muhammad Ilyas al-Kandhlawi, an Indian savant, and began as a small group of religious-minded individuals gathering at a local mosque. For 41 years Tongi has been the chosen location, although similar programs are held on a lesser scale in other countries. These days India has also been considered a very popular place for organising such congregations. The Ijtema is non-political, and therefore it draws people of all persuasion. Prayer is held for the spiritual adulation, exaltation and welfare of the Muslims community. This immensely popular program gives the people of the different countries an opportunity to interact with Muslims from other countries and is commonly attended by prominent political figures.
Around 1927, TJ entered in the Bengal region. The first Bengal provincial Tablighi committee formed under the secretaryship of Moulvi Abul Hayat with Moulvi Aftabuddin, who was sub- editor of The Light (De, 1998). However, this movement found its inroad into East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) just after the partition of Indian Sub-continent in 1947 (Sikand, 2002). During this period, three Ijtema centres have developed in three parts of the Subcontinents; they are Bhopal in India, Raiwind in Pakistan and Dhaka in East Pakistan (Now Bangladesh). Sooner after partition, East Bengal becomes the part of Pakistan and identified with a new name as East Pakistan. This was the formative period of TJ in East Pakistan. TJ was able to recruit people from various backgrounds during this time. In this early stage of TJ in East Pakistan, many people from the professional class and students have involved with TJ.[7]
Moulana Abul Hasan Ali Nadvi mentioned in a biography of Moulana Ilyas that, in the 1930s, they used to have the annual ijtema at Mewat and they had a fixed place for ijtema. Moulana Ilyas used to take part in these ijtemas regularly. The biggest ijtema was held at Nuh of the district of Gourgano from 28 to 30 November 1941 (Nadvi, 2006:118). That was the notable Ijtema in terms of participating number of devotees. According to Nadvi (2006), there were about 20-25 thousand people in that ijtema. This ijtema was successful in many ways; one of them are to be able to send many jamaats to the various places in India such as Khorza, Aligarh, Agra, Buland city, Mirath, Panipath, Sonipath etc. In April 1943, they had sent a jamaat in Karachi (a major city of Pakistan). The first Ijtema held in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) was in 1954 in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. Later that year they had organised another massive ijtema in Khulna, a south-west district of Bangladesh. Since then they have been organising ijtema every year in a regular basis. During this time, the centre of TJ in Bangladesh was based on the Lalbagh Shahi Mosque. Due to limitation of space, they had to move to the current location at Kakrail.[8] Background of TJ in Bangladesh, In 1954 there were about 15-20 thousands participants took part in the first ijtema. However, by 1965 even Kakrail had become too small for the ijtema. Therefore, they had to think about a new place for the ijtema. In the same year, they had to shift the venue at Tongi near Dhaka. Since then, TJ has been regularly organising ijtema at Tongi
