We started Planning for this Ijtema beginning of December 2022. A letter for Dua to Huzur-e-Aqdas (aba) was sent to request special privately for the overall success and fulfilment of the objectives of the Ijtema.

The Ijtema Committee was formed and members were all informed of their roles before the regular meetings commenced. Our first committee meeting was held on 5thDecember 2022. A detailed project plan was created and meetings were held weekly, initially to discuss high level responsibilities, followed by detailed departmental plans andthe progress of these. We utilised Baitul Hamd Namaz Centre for such meetings for better collaboration and to aid productivity.

The venue and date was decided and the attendance campaign then kicked off 4 weeks before the ijtema, with a combination of social media, instant messaging and house visits with individually named invitation letters to help promote the event.

It was decided that due to recent lift of any such COVID and social distancing restrictions, this year the Khuddam and Atfal ijtema will be held jointly.
