Alhamdulillah.. very fortune for mangaloreans, what I see is not many muslims make use of Islamic banks as may be it bacame a habit of using interest banks though they never take interests .. or these banks aren't reaching them .. or any other issue .. recently we planned to buy a flat with a interest loan of 10lakhs , but somewhere we felt like war against Allah ..We dropped it as it involved interest loan .. then suddenly it stroke to my head I can opt for an loan from Islamic bank.. was looking for interest free bank and I found this and same in bangalore as well... In shaa Allah..I hope these bank benefits people like me ..And all Muslims as well..Keeps them away from dealing with interest. May Allah safeguard us from this kind of grave sins
ARE the Cheddi members so WEAK, that they need to be informed that Human life is more valuable than the COW?
Cheddi foot soldiers should use their intellect rather than depending on Cheddi orders and make cow as mother or not.
SEE How Cheddi Foot Soldiers are used by the Cheddis... When they want, they make the CoW the mother. and foot soldiers are used to do violent in the society to protect cow.. and now they even cant control what they sow ...
When PUBLIC Wake up in the society even the cheddis who have 60% will also bow down to PUBLIC... People should note this stand and whenever someone trying to disrupt the society ... The whole like minded society should come together and speak for the truth and give justice...

Muslims must increase their eemaan to get the help of Allah. Remember 310 Muslims won war against thousands of kafirs. This is the type of help Allah will provide if we become mu'min. Forget this kafirs because Allah has given them the strength inorder to test us. That's it.
This RSS is a real anti human group. Send all those chaddis to andaman nicobar islands
