Mangaluru, Jan 16: “I have attended several major events organised by various organisations and political parties at Nehru Maidan. But this is the only event which instigated me to think seriously about life,” said Arun Kumar, city based a college student.

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.

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..

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

The Bharatiya Janata Party workers belonging to Muslim community are bewildered over the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act. A considerable number of BJP’s Muslim workers have distanced themselves from the pro-CAA meetings being organised by the party in different parts of India.

There is a deep divide within members of the BJP minority wing, with many upset and angry with the party. During its membership drive in 2018 for the minority wing, BJP had enrolled lakhs of Muslims across India.

A senior Muslim member of the saffron party in Hyderabad explained, “We are very upset. There is no one listening to us within the party. Majority of the members are introspecting on their future role in the party. Few are vocal about it. Those, who believe they still have a future in the party, have decided to keep quiet on this issue.”

This is the reason why they are not attending the pro-CAA rallies or interacting with people. If anybody approaches and questions them about CAA, they maintain they have no idea, just like the common man. A member of the BJP belonging to the minority community says they have been hurt by the decision of the government on CAA.

“Shia Muslims in Pakistan are suffering. They have been targeted in that country from time to time. The BJP patronised a large number of Shia Muslims. The Shia community in Uttar Pradesh even sided with the BJP. But what has the community got in the end? The persecuted Shia minorities in Pakistan have not got justice,” the party member from minority community lamented.

There are 400 families belonging to the Shia community in Hyderabad, who have relatives in Karachi and Quetta in Pakistan. These Shias had migrated to Pakistan from the Nizam state after its accession to India. These families were hopeful that after aligning with BJP, there would be a reprieve for them. But the stand taken by BJP has left them in lurch. The CAA provides for granting Indian citizenship only to non-Muslim minorities from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.

“We have been left with nothing. Shias have not been politically active in all the three countries of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh and have suffered due to this reason. There was some hope in India, but even that has been lost now,” the minority wing leader remarked.

National vice president of BJP minority cell Farid Sheikh Liaquat Ali says, “Party workers and common people are asking the same question.”

I have told them what union home minister Amit Shah has said in Parliament, that CAA is not against Indian Muslims. But people are not convinced. Every meeting or social function that I attend, I find that people are angry and upset. I have been with the BJP for 33 years and whatever I hear from the people is being conveyed to the party.”

The incident that occurred at the madarasa in Uttar Pradesh has led to a pointed question: “If this can happen to Muslims in UP, will it not repeat elsewhere?”
