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.

Bengaluru, May 5: Life is limping back to a new normalcy in most parts of Karnataka with easing of Covid-19 induced restrictions yesterday as the State headed into the third phase of lockdown started since March 24.

According to the guidelines issued by the Centre, industrial activities, construction works, essential, non-essential shops, delivery of essential goods through e- commerce, courier and postal services, banking and agriculture activities, plying of four-wheelers and two-wheelers and inter-state movement of goods vehicles is permitted in all the zones, whereas buses are allowed to ply only in green and orange zone districts.

This apart, sale of liquor was also allowed at the designated shops. Police said vehicular movement is allowed only from 7am to 7pm for ordinary citizens.

Clarifying about the movement of people, Bengaluru police commissioner Bhaskar Rao tweeted, "From Monday you don't need a pass to move in Bengaluru between 7am and 7pm. After 7 pm and up to 7am the following morning, even if you have a pass you are not allowed to move except medical and essential service. Checkpoints will remain and your ID may be asked. Please be responsible." After the restrictions were lifted, heavy vehicular movement was witnessed in parts of Bengaluru leading to traffic jam in some areas.

Chikpet, which is the main trade area in Bengaluru, saw some activities.

With restrictions on public transport continuing, this unusually crowded place had very less footfall. "Movement of public is limited due to ban on public transport, such as city buses and Metro Rail.

"The trade activities are taking place between retailers," trade activist and joint secretary of Jain International Trade Organisation Sajjanraj Mehta said .

Select liquor shops in the city and other parts of the state pulled up shutters after being closed for about six weeks due to the lockdown with tipplers thronging them in huge numbers at many places.

Some traders in the city complained that they received notices regarding the Tax Deduction at Source for the month of April "thought here were no trading activities."

Meanwhile, Chief minister B S Yediyurappa announced on Monday that free bus service for migrant labourers, which is operating smoothly, has been extended till Thursday.

Bengaluru, Feb 19: A public interest litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Karnataka High Court, seeking a stay on Anand Singh functioning as Minister of Forests, Environment and Ecology contending that there are criminal cases filed against him by the Ministry.

"A stay be granted prohibiting Anand Singh from functioning as the Cabinet Minister for the Ministry of Forests, Environment and Ecology. Any other order that the Honourable Court may deem fit in the interest of justice and equity," the PIL prays.

The petition, filed by advocate Vijay Kumar, said that the Chief Minister has allocated the portfolio of the Ministry of Forests, Environment and Ecology to Singh without considering the fact that there are several criminal faces filed against him by the Ministry.

It said that the allocation of the Ministry of Forests, Environment and Ecology portfolio to Singh is in the conflict of interest.

"The holding of the post of Cabinet minister for the Ministry of Forests, Environment and Ecology is against public interest and completely in conflict of interest as he has business for which the subject Ministry is the overseeing authority and further he will also have access to the case files which again is in conflict of interest," the PIL said.

PIL adds that "it is pertinent and absolutely necessary" to deny the incumbent from accessing files related to his cases and from taking any decisions which may provide him with pecuniary benefits through his businesses.
