These events typically focus on religious education, spiritual development, and community building among Muslims.

Ijtemas are held in various locations around the world, with the most notable being the annual Bishwa Ijtema in Tongi, Bangladesh. This event attracts millions of attendees, making it one of the largest Islamic gatherings globally. The ijtema emphasizes unity, faith, and the importance of spreading Islamic teachings.
