The holy night of boundless blessings is considered greater than a thousand nights in sanctity and rewards from God.
The congregation is the annual edition of the monthly prayer meetings held at the Ma'din Academy, which is one of the largest educational centres of South India.
Sayyid Ibraheemul Khaleel Al Bukhari, chairman and the leader of the prayer conference, delivered the key-note address and administered the pledge against terrorism.

The pledge read: "Terrorism, extremism, subversive attempts, factionalism and discrimination on the basis of religion, community, caste, politics and languages are sure to destabilise our great India.
"As patriotic Muslims,we have a great responsibility to reach out to others with this message.By the holiness of this evening we once again pledge loyalty to our great nation,and remember the great personages who sacrificed themselves for the cause of the country."
