Mangaluru, May 15: In the wake of growing heatwave and acute water shortage in the region, a group of Muslims offered special prayers in Mangaluru today, seeking rain and prosperity.

A considerable number of women also took part in the Salat-al-Istisqa held at Nehru Maidan, in the heart of the city under the open sky. The arrangements were made by the local unit of South Karnataka Salafi Movement (SKSM).

Muhammad Shaikh Saqib Saleem al Umri, the Khateeb of Kudroli Salafi mosque, led the prayers and delivered sermon highlighting the significance of water.

Many of the devotees were found weeping while offering prayers seeking forgiveness for their sins and pleading for rains.

The Salat-al-Istisqa is a way to humble oneself before the Creator of the universe and seek forgiveness so that the rains descend. “It is a special namaz and Muslim ummah is guided to offer it when there is great scarcity of water and hope of rain dwindles,” said the Khateeb.

Mangaluru City South MLA D Vedavyasa Kamath was present at the prayer venue.

Dear Vadood,

I have faith & trust in our god, so i know it will rain in June, july, aug.. But do you have faith & trust in your god?

it seems you are doubting that he will not send rains so you need to pray...As God has created everything he knows well what to do when & where. He doesnt need your prayers to do that. He is not a small child who needs to be reminded again and again that he has to send rains.

Dear Vadood,

I have faith & trust in our god, so i know it will rain in June, july, aug.. But do you have faith & trust in your god?

Dear Suresh

What will happen if it does not rain in June??

Dear Suresh,

You might be aware of farmers and citizens suffer due to drought in the state

Cheap mentality

Every year it rains from June to oct even if they dont pray.

Mosque to host Hindu couple’s marriage

News Network

January 4,2020

Alappuzha, Jan 4: The management committee of a mosque in Kerala is all set to solemnize the wedding of a Hindu couple, setting yet another instance of the communal harmony prevailing in Kerala.

The Cheravally Muslim Jamaat Committee at Kayamkulam in Alappuzha district in South Kerala is conducting the marriage of Anju and Sharath after the bride's mother approached the Jamaat authorities seeking help.

The marriage will be held at the mosque premises on January 19 as per Hindu rituals and the Jamaat Committee has also prepared the invitations.

Anju's father Ashokan died a few years back and her mother Bindhu was struggling to win bread for her three children. Nujumudeen Alummoottil, a businessman and secretary of the Jamaat had helped the family earlier also.

Hence Bindu sought his help for the marriage of Anju. Nujumudeen discussed it with other members of the Jamaat committee and members of the mosque.

Najumudeen said that there was no hesitation from anyone on conducting the marriage by the mosque at its premises. A gift in cash and gold would be also given to the couple.

Kerala recently witnessed a church allowing the Muslim believers who participated in an anti-CAA meet to offer namaz at the church premises and another church conducting a carol service with the youth of the parish dressed up in traditional Muslim attire.

Well educated, good decision makers , intelects and wise people are keralites.

Kerala is unique in India for cordial relation between different religions. However, this is not being digested by sanghis and are trying to build gulf between the communities. I am sure that people will not let theese anti national succeed in their wicked behaviour. This communal harmoney is a slap on the faces of enemies of society. Well done keralites. Salute to all of you.
