SPECIAL SIGNIFICANCE Juma-tul-Wida has special importance for Muslims, who offer prayers on this day and seek mercy of Allah Almighty. Imams and Khateeb in their Juma sermons highlight the significance of Juma-tul-Wida and Ramazan, and urge the followers to make a solemn pledge to follow the teachings of Islam in letter and spirit.
Special prayers will also be offered on the occasion particularly, for the ending of miseries facing the Muslims across the world including Pakistan in the aftermath of recent devastating earthquake.
Moreover, rallies and protest demonstrations will also be held across the country to mark the Al-Quds Day on Friday.
Religious and politico-religious parties and organisations in all major cities and towns would hold rallies before and after the Friday prayers to show their sympathies with the cause of Palestinians.
