Mangaluru, Jan 31: Thousands of devotees on Sunday crossed a bridge made from boats to get to a historic Dargah-cum-mosque located on an island in the Netravati river near Adyar Kannur on the outskirts of the city.

Sixty-seven boats were used for the temporary bridge to reach the Dargah where normally people take individual boats to. However, for the Urus, the bridge was laid out for convenience since many people were expected to attend the ceremony.

The 400-year-old Rahmania Dargah Masjid Shariff also known as Nadupalli is surrounded by river which flows serenely around an isle where this ancient mosque is located.

Tombs of three saints, who had spent their entire lives in providing spiritual guidance to the people, are located at this Dargah.

It is said that bodies of three persons, two brothers and a sister, had flown from west to east to this spot. The bodies were seen to be having some divine powers. The people had arranged to bury them and build their tombs on the right side of the mosque. Since then, people across different religions have made it a practice to visit the Dargah and seek fulfillment of their wishes.

According to the organizers of the Urus, this Dargah is known for granting the wishes of farmers. There are many instances in which farmers, troubled by lack of rain, came here, made gruel mixed with jaggery as is customary, distributed it among the needy, and prayed for rain. Heavy rain soaked them on their way back. To celebrate these divine powers, every year, Urus and other religious programmes are held, say the organizers.

Another unique feature of this Dargah is the presence of two sweet water wells in the area, although normally wells in the vicinity of the sea have salty taste. Water from these wells is used by the people living in the locality.

Islam is very simple religion which is based on oneness of Allah. Khulafa-Ur-Rashidun's, Sahaba's, Tabi'uns not took long time to understand the Islam and their emaan was very strong. But still after 1400 years, we are unable to understand the simple teaching of oneness of Allah.

Here it is mentioned some farmers came here and prayed for rain and it rained on their way back.

Point to note here that only Allah can shower rain, and also for these farmers Allah showered the rain. But a VERY VERY CRITICAL AND PEAK POINT is that it may be the test from Allah to these farmers that after he showers rain whether they are going to trust this Dargah or Allah. At this point if someone puts his trust on the Dargah instead of Allah then he has lost his imaan then and there itself. A very dangerous test where most people fail. And most muslims who visit such places for any benefit or blessings are the ones who no more trust Allah.

May Allah save us from such situations and trials of life.

At any situations put your trust only on Allah and ask with him. He will answer.

The Organiser says (6th para) in the article.. which contradicts, Please read & PONDER on below verse from the QURAN
ALLAH SAYS IN QURAN:
Quran 6:99 - And it is ALLAH who sends down rain from the sky, and We produce thereby the growth of all things. We produce from it greenery from which WE produce grains arranged in layers. And from the palm trees - of its emerging fruit are clusters hanging low. And We produce gardens of grapevines and olives and pomegranates, similar yet varied. Look at (each of) its fruits when it yields and (at) its ripening. Indeed in that are SIGNS for a PEOPLE who BELIEVE.

So ask with ALLAH ALONE dont associate Partners with HIM. ALLAH is able to do all things. TRUST him.

I read the above statement in which it says that the Three bodies flown from west to east of Brothers And Sister My question is
How did they know that the Bodies is of Brothers And Sister?
Were they a Muslim?
If they were a saint why the people of their Community allowed them to flow in the river?
If they had a divine power then why they themselves could not rescue from floating in the river?

@ Anjali,

Certainly, your question can be answered if you search in youtube from Dr. Zakir Naik or other speakers. But Dr. Zakir Naik is recommended because he has been asked several questions of similar kind.

Hope it is clear.

Dear All

we don't want to learn Islam from your side Alhamdulillah we have better Ulama to learn what is shirk and what is reverence.

if i am not wrong particular category discussing more about jaatre and vedas instead of Quran

Abdul Rahman Muscat you are very near to SALALAH for Hazrat Ayub Alehisalam And please don't ask who is this, for that you have to read Quran if you can or else even you can visit Madina Also.

Who's body is in the Grave?
Did prophet Muhammad pbuh did such rituals?
Did the 4 Khulafas did such rituals?
Did the sahabas did such rituals?
Did taba u tabieen did such rituals?
We will never find this rituals done by these pious, Instead of looking at the examples of our role models. WE are blindly believing in the modern discription of grave visit...
Prophet Muhammad pbuh after knowing the sahabas strong belief in ALLAH & dependence in ALLAH, He allowed them to visit the grave to pray for the dead & for remembering our fate will be same as them.
Here WE are asking with the GRAVE and thinking ALLAH will give barakah if we ask in such places...
Please my muslim ummah - ALLAH is all hearing & all seeing . Dont limit his mercy in such places. He listens and answers even if U call ANYWHERE... HAVE FAITH in ALLAH.
and ASK ALLAH ALONE & follow the pious role models which will bring CONTENT in our LIFE.
May ALLAH keep us away from such ritual.

There is No place for \Darga\" or \"Durga\" in Islam, All people involved in this including contribution to this in any means has to go through severest punishments on the day of judgment for supporting or giving the place of the only creator “Allah” to others as such."

I'm a Medical student from calicut Medical College.My name is Anjali Kundan from Mumbai.Being a student i have even made a attempt to know more about Islaam.Being a student of Science i admire from my heart that Quran is a word of God.Because what Modern Science says today has been recorded 1000 years ago in Quran.But certain questions still strikes me one among them is regarding the above report.
The above photo shows that a Muslim women going to Mosque to pray then why some groups of Muslim scholars oppose women going to Mosque to pray in Kerala.Does the rules Differ from one place to another.What does Islam teaches regarding this.

Mangaluru, Jan 1: Led by two local MLAs belonging to Bharatiya Janata Party, dozens of people today forcibly stopped toll fee collection at Talapady toll gate on the outskirts of the city allowing vehicles plying between Karnataka and Kerala on the national highway 66 to travel without paying any fee for some time.

Mangaluru City South MLA D Vedavyasa Kamath and Mangaluru City North MLA Y Bharat Shetty, who led the workers, said that the Navayuga Udupi Tollway Pvt. Ltd. (NUTPL), the concessionaire of the about 90-km-long highway widening project between Talapady and Kundapura in Karnataka, had failed to complete the project since over a decade.

The service roads and two flyovers under the project remained uncompleted. Hence motorists were facing a hardship. Notwithstanding Nalin Kumar Kateel, Dakshina Kannada MP, arranging ₹56 crore loan to the NUTPL through Axis Bank to complete the prominent Pumpwell flyover in the city, the company had failed to complete it.

The MLAs said that they stopped the toll collection as a symbolic protest to bring pressure on the company to complete the project within this month.

The BJP workers who gathered near the toll gate around 7.30 a.m. forcibly removed the barricades and made the vehicles ply without paying the fee. The workers of the company managing the toll booth did not resist.

The BJP workers said that vehicles would ply without paying toll till about 6 p.m. If the company resumed the collection during the day on Wednesday, the party workers would again forcibly stop it on Thursday, they said.

Shivaprasad Rai, in-charge of toll collection of the company at Talapady, Hejmady and Sasthana on the same highway told The Hindu that the NUTPL collected about ₹7 lakh as toll fee daily at Talapady from over 12,000 vehicles. The loss on Wednesday could be about ₹4 lakh.

The project is being implemented under build, operate and transfer basis.

Bengaluru, Mar 11: Did Congress party’s Man Friday, DK Shivakumar, not rise up to the occasion and save the situation for the party, whose rebel MLAs were flown into Bengaluru to unsettle the Kamal Nath-led government in Madhya Pradesh? Shivakumar told The New Indian Express on Tuesday, “So far, I have not got any clear direction on what has to be done. But I am in touch with the central leaders. The party does not want to antagonise them... They are our own MLAs.”

He said that the Tenth Schedule, which makes defections illegal, is very strong. “It is not so easy for them once they are expelled. There are courts and then they have to get re-elected. It is not easy to get minister’s post after getting re-elected,” he added.

When pointed out that rebels from the Congress and JD(S) who joined the BJP have got re-elected and become ministers, he said, “There are other issues here.”

Asked about Digvijay Singh, who is at the centre of the controversy in MP and who was AICC general secretary in-charge of Karnataka, not being able to prevent the rebellion in his home state, Shivakumar said, “I do not want to comment on any of our national leaders.”But he was confident that the Congress government would be saved in MP. “I am aware of the developments and keeping track of them,” he said.

Congress leaders seemed wiser after the event.

One of them, who wished not to be identified, said the party clearly did not see the writing on the wall. “Jyotiraditya Scindia supported the BJP at the Centre when it scrapped Article 370. Later too he was not in line with the Congress position on several issues. But during the recent Delhi violence, he criticised the BJP, sending confusing signals,” he added.
