Muezzin Farewell After 16 Years of Unpaid Service in Jhalokati

Syed Ali has served as the muezzin voluntarily for sixteen years at the Baitussalam Jame Mosque in Purba Chandkati, Jhalokati municipal area. In recognition of his long service, the mosque management committee and worshippers gave him an emotional and formal farewell.

Following Jummah prayers on Friday, November 14, a discussion meeting, prayers, and milad mahfil were held on the mosque premises. Having retired from the LGED department in 2011, he performed this duty without remuneration, and the committee arranged this farewell as he stepped down due to old age.

Committee leaders and local dignitaries delivered speeches during the event, and gifts were presented to him. The committee also requested him to continue calling the Azaan at the mosque as long as his health permits, while special prayers were offered for his health and long life.
