Mangaluru, Jun 25: A majority of Muslims in the historic town of Ullal in Mangaluru taluk on Sunday celebrated Eid al-Fitr rejecting a local Khazi’s order to observe the fast and postpone the festival for a day.

When religious heads and prominent Khazis of coastal Karnataka declared the end of Ramadan yesterday, Ullal Khazi Fazal Koyamma Thangal aka Koorath Thangal had asked his followers to continue fasting and celebrate Eid on Monday.

Hundreds of followers of Koorath Thangal in Ullal and some remote areas of Dakshina Kannada district have accepted the unexpected “order” and postponed Eid. A couple of mosques in Ullal region and a few mosques in rural areas of Belthangady taluk will be celebrating Eid on Monday.

However, Eid prayers were held at Ullal’s prominent Sayyid Madani Juma Masjid on Sunday under the leadership of assistant Khazi Abdul Rauoof Ustad.

Speaking after leading the prayers, Rauoof Ustad said that fasting on the day of Eid was prohibited in Islam. He also urged the Muslims to be united and follow the path of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and his pious companions.

Speaking to media persons, Ullal dargah and mosque committee president Abdul Rasheed Haji said that Koorath Thangal was not in touch with the committee for past one year.

“Dakshina Kannada Khazi Thwaka Ahmed Musliyar and Udupi Khazi Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal had already announced Eid after verifying moonsighting reports from Bhatkal last night. Hence, in Ullal, assistant Khazi announced the Eid in the absence of Koorath Thangal,” he clarified.

Police had stepped up security measures around the mosque and dargah in the wake of differences between Koorath Thangal and other clerics. Food and Civil Supplies Minister U T Khader also visited the mosque and exchanged Eid greetings.

Why confusion?

Koorath Thangal was appointed as the Khazi of Ullal in March 2014 following the demise of his father Thajul Ulama Assayyid Abdurrahman Al-Bukhari, who was the Khazi of Ullal for several decades. Koorath Thangal’s several moves had triggered controversy in last couple of years.

According to sources, the reason for fresh controversy is that management committee of the mosque did not inform Koorath Thangal before announcing the end of the Ramadan last night as he was not in touch with the committee.

As soon as Koorath Thangal realized that announcement of Eid was made without his permission, he sent a voice message on social media stating that Sunday will be the 30th day of Ramadan. A few clerics reportedly tried to convince Koorath Thangal to change his decision but in vain.

Because of AP and EK Politics in Kerala, Dakshina Kannada becoming victim of it. We depend on EK AP just because of Madrasa Board. As we have resources in Ullal, we should stop both AP EK boards and start new one from Ullal. All Kerala political ulemas should be Kicked out. Karnataka should be free from these cunning Kerala ulemas. They create rift in our community. They loot money from us. We should be free from their influence. People should not follow blindly any one.
