Ullal Muslims plunge into confusion as local Khazi snubs Bhatkal moon

Mangaluru, Jun 25: Muslims in parts of Dakshina Kannada district have plunged into confusion after Khazi of Ullal refused to announce the beginning of Shawwal and urged his followers to fast on Sunday and celebrate Eid al-Fitr on Monday.

1ullalThe bizarre development comes within hours after Dakshina Kannada district Khazi Thwaka Ahmed Musliyar formally declared the end of Ramadan after verifying the reports of moonsighting from Bhatkal in Uttara Kannada district.

Udupi Khazi Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal too has declared the end of Ramadan and announced that Sunday will be the first day of Shawwal in the region.

However, the unexpected decision of Ullal Khazi Fazal Koyamma Thangal Koorath to complete the 30th fasting of Ramadan has brought the divide among Muslims in the region to the fore.

Fasting on Eid day and celebrating Eid before the end of Ramadan are considered a sin in Islam. Hence, thousands of Muslims in the region are in dilemma. Taravih prayers were also reportedly held in Ullal Juma Masjid at midnight in spite of opposition from a section of clerics.

Meanwhile, many clerics are reportedly trying to convince the Ullal Khazi to change his decision and announce the beginning of Shawwal. More details are awaited.

Sad development. But the saddest thing is the ongoing grave worship in the same place. May Allah grant them Hidayah.

@ Umar Farooq,

Sad thing is that still you are not matured enough to understand what
is grave worshiping ? May Allah grant you good mind to understand the difference between worshiping & respecting.

Extradited these useless thangas, they are there to devide muslims for their ego class...moon sighting in bhatkal is more than enough to end the month and celebrate the Eid. I think no need many khazis to Mangalore, they are spoil brat of Muslims especially in Mangalore becuase their EGO clash will not work in Kerala.

Mangaluru, Aug 4: The Kasaragod district administration has decided to restore the e-pass system for daily commuters between Kasaragod and Mangaluru amid covid-19 crisis. 

As covid-19 cases began to increase in Dakshina Kannada, the Kasargod district administration had unilaterally newly introduced of daily pass system on July 6 for entry and exit from Talapady border. This had inconvenienced hundreds of employees, who visited Mangaluru daily to eke a living. 

The decision to resume the pass system was taken in a video conference of Kerala Revenue Minister Chandrasekharan with officials and elected representatives on August 3.

The minister said the Kasaragod district administration will resume issuing of passes for daily commuters between Kasaragod and Mangaluru. But they should undergo rapid antigen test for every week to renew their passes.

"Similarly, one-time interstate passes will be issued for those who want to take part in marriages, funeral and other functions in both states. Even they should undergo antigen test after returning from the functions,” the minister added.

As per the previous order, daily commuters, especially employees, had to stay in Mangaluru for 28 days before returning to Kasargod. Later, Kerala government relaxed rules on July 23 allowing only bank employees from Kasaragod to travel daily in their private vehicles to their workplace in Dakshina Kannada.
