January 16, 2017

Arun Kumar was one of the thousands of knowledge seekers who were impressed by theThe Miracle', an ongoing exhibition on Islam, organised by Karnataka Salafi Association from January 9 to 15 at Nehru Maidan in the heart of the city.

He also revealed that when hired an auto-rickshaw to the exhibition venue on Sunday evening, the driver Johnson too started praising the exhibition. “This shows how people of all faiths were attracted by this exhibition. I salute the organisers for allaying the misconceptions about Islam,” he added.

According to the organisers, though the majority of the visitors were Muslims, thousands of non-Muslims too attended the exhibition and many of them appreciated the selfless effort.

A talk onthe real message of Quran' by Zaid Patel, the founder of the iPlus Telemedia Private Ltd, on Sunday night attracted nearly thirty thousand people. Husain Salafi, president of Sharjah based Indian Islahi Centre, explained that terrorism and Islam cannot coexist.

The exhibition premises was spread over 30,000 square feet of 400 plus informative panels in English and Kannada. Volunteers explained tenets of the religion to the visitors in two air-conditioned pavilions, for women and men separately, at the exposition.

All the panels at the expo were done based on scientific models. Topics such as embryology that speaks about science and Islam; and dangers of alcohol that tells people alcohol does not make anyone healthy or strong, are explained at length. The other counters relate to wonders of the human body, where the purpose of each part of the body is explained.

There was also section to eradicate misconceptions about Islam and clarify that terrorist organisations such as ISIS that use the name of Islam are in fact anti-Islamic groups. There were also separate video theatres in the two languages that offer multimedia sermons.

"This is an attempt to eradicate evil ideas that people have about Islam. To become good from bad and also a campaign against substance abuse, wastage of food and terrorism. The end result we want is that people of all religion to give away communal thinking and live in peace," said Mohammed Haneef Uppinangady, president of the association.

Commenting on people often linking Islam to terrorism and IS, Haneef stressed that Islam teaches about peace and Holy Book clearly points out that nobody has a right to kill anyone. If one does, he/she is killing the entire mankind. The exhibition also exhorted visitors not to get attracted by the teaching of IS and terror outfits and it is against the religion.

Please ignore the guy filled with dung. He needs lot of mental patience.

Dear Althaf, i hope you would have given good statement acceptable to everyone. You should not pin point any one or any organisation. I am not happy with your statement. May Allah bless you with right way of thinking.

Thank you so much for excellent analysis on the Islamic exhibition. This kind of impartial reports should keep appearing on coastaldigest.com.

Viren
Wake up man.. Even indian media could not prove that Dr.Zakir naik is inspiring youths to join ISIS then how can you prove that. If you have proof of this then go and submit to indian government so that they can take action instead barking here.
One more thing if my allah decide something to happen then it will happen no one in this earth can stop that,... Again no one..

Good job going around mangalore.....

Naren you ate a lot of chillis....that is why....

@ Viren

This was supposed to happen and many goods things will happen...

They plan but God is the best planner..
The more you put obstacle.. the better people will be curious about islam..

Finally i want to dedicate

Mashaa allah / Good Work /from KSA team , Mangalore

i really appreciate.................

Jazak Allah Khair

Masha Allha great work from KSA. and its benifit to all not only muslim non muslim also.we need to give clear islam to the world.

Salafis are the ones who had tried to bring Zakri Naik ( who inspired youths to join ISIS) to Mangalore. Now they are trying to say Islam and ISIS is different. They are fooling people. What they are doing is missionary job. How did mangalore police allow this to happen?

If U depend on false media information about islam and Muslims... Many will lose in knowing the reality of LIFE which the CREATOR has given us... to know the TRUTH about life , we should look into the Source... everything will be cleared when we take the knowledge from the original source...

Non MUslims should atleast read one time \the QURAN\" once in their lifetime at the earliest... to know what islam says about LIFE on this earth and the hereafter .... God can give us LIFE again after death, the way he had given us first time... its simple for him... (Praise b to God alone)"

I really appreciate the hard work of KSA for spreading the true message of islam to non muslims. I also believe that all of mangaloreans had attended the exhibition except soofis and so called sunnis and SSF

Bad weather hinders NDRF operation after landslide buries 5 people in Kodagu

News Network

August 7,2020

Madikeri, Aug 7: Two days after massive landslides triggered by heavy downpour in Kodagu, five people including a priest are still missing.

The landslide, which originating at Brahmagiri Hills in Talacauvery, swept away two houses on Wednesday night.

This missing people are: Talacauvery temple chief Narayana Achar (70), his wife Shantha (70), brother Ananda Theertha Swami (87) and two assistants — Ravi Kiran (26) and Srinivas (30). Achar’s neighbour had shifted out of Bhagamandala earlier, fearing a landslide.

The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) had to stop rescue operations due to bad weather. The operations resumed today.

“There are many minor landslides on the way to the spot,” said Kodagu Deputy Commissioner C Annies K Joy, adding that the flood situation at Bhagamandala was not permitting earthmovers to reach the spot. Heavy rain between Wednesday and Thursday triggered landslides.

Bhagamandala Panchayat Development Officer Ashok said a notice was issued to the priest’s family to shift out of the house, but they chose to stay back.

On Thursday morning, when the Talacauvery temple staff went to check on Narayana Achar, as he had not reached the temple for the daily puja, they found levelled land and debris where Achar’s house stood. Utensils, puja material and clothes were found nearly 2 km away at Cherangala.

As rains continued over the last few days, many rivers are flowing above the danger levels, forcing people to move to safer places.

Responding to the situation, which is turning grimmer by the day, Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, who is currently undergoing treatment in a private hospital after testing positive for Covid-19, directed ministers to visit rain-hit areas and supervise relief efforts. He has also assured of providing required financial assistance for those affected.

Centralised system to classify COVID-19 infected persons: Karnataka Medical Education Minister

News Network

July 29,2020

Bengaluru Jul 29: There will be a centralised system in place in Karnataka to classify asymptomatic, symptomatic and mild symptomatic persons and recommend treatment based on the severity of the cases, said Medical Education Minister Dr K Sudhakar on Tuesday here.

"Various existing apps related to COVID-19 will be brought under one platform to get real-time information which will assist in strategising allocation of hospitals/beds to the needy. This will probably remove the delay in bed allocation and treatment which is being faced now. The patients will get all information in one phone call," Dr Sudhakar said.

Sudhakar spoke with a team of experts from the government and Infosys.

Referring to a company by name Step 1, which is providing such services in Delhi and Madhya Pradesh, the Minister said that a similar system will be implemented in the state as well.

"This company is having a team of doctors and nurses which is guiding the people whether they need hospital treatment or home isolation after they are tested positive for COVID-19. More than 70 per cent of the positive cases are being asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic and are advised to go for home isolation," the minister said.

"The load on the hospitals is reduced and severe cases can be administered proper treatment. Infosys co-ordinates with the government to provide technical support for this system," Dr Sudhakar added.

Earlier during the day, the minister held a video conference with the heads of private medical colleges to review COVID preparedness.
The government has already passed guidelines to allocate 50 per cent of hospital beds for COVID patients.
