Conceptualised and accomplished by the Bearys Group, known for innovative and green architecture in Karnataka, the ultra modern ‘Badria Juma Masjid’ at Kodi in Kundapur taluk will formally be inaugurated on Friday, January 15 in the presence of renowned Islamic scholars of the country.

The Mosque design is an evolution in Islamic architecture integrating epitomized sustainable technologies. An important feature of this green marvel is that its entire energy requirement is met through hybrid renewable energy, both wind and solar.

At a time when the world is passing through climate change crisis, it demonstrates how sustainable developments can help in mitigating global warming. The Mosque also presents a modern face of Islam aiming to promote harmony among all communities. A list of its unique features is attached.

It is our little contribution in India’s march towards Sustainable Development, says Syed Mohamed Beary of Bearys Group and we hope that the Mosque will become a holistic place of worship where people from all over the world will come and pray and find true solace.

Unique Features

Cooling of the building has been achieved by using elements of nature. The building orientation minimizes solar heat gain. The L shaped building plan and elevated nature of prayer hall, green vegetation & water tanks around it offer a naturally cooled environment.

Solar heat reflecting terrace floor laid with white china mosaics & fitted with turbo vents not only keeps the prayer space cool but also reduces warming of local micro climate.

It is practically an open envelope and non-conducting Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC) Jallis with over 50% openings, maximize natural ventilation and supplement the design effort to reduce heat gain.

Natural cooling of the building is accentuated by the wind scoop on 70 feet multifunctional Minaret (from where the Azan, the call for prayer is given) which forces down draft of cool breeze into the prayer hall and also supports the tower structure of wind turbine mounted atop it.

Use of Hybrid Renewable Energy i.e. wind & solar in the Mosque will produce more energy than used by the Mosque, thus feeding energy to state grid and accruing (CER) Credits for next 25 years.

Utilized local resources on the principle of “Reduce-Reuse-Recycle-Regenerate” and is equipped with “Pressmatic” TOTO water fixtures to conserve precious water.

Heartiest Congratulations to Mr Syed Beary and his wonderful team for a great achievement. Hope this will set the trend for many such Eco- friendly buildings in future. Every effort to preserve this earth is to be greatly appreciated.

Masha Allah Thabarakallah!!!
May Allah protect it from all evils in the society.
Sir syed Beary, you have indeed come up with the innovative concept. may Allah bless u. I would like to request about saving water energy too especially Ablution section in masjids. Our Prophet(saws)was finishing his ablution with 1 small mug but majority of us needs litres of water. So implement some sensor system ablution area.
We as a muslim community are lacking Islamic marriage hall in mangalore. Hall with prayer room, separate seating for gents and ladies. In other halls we need partition. Please include this concept in near future.
May Allah reward you with his immense blessings.

Everything is green. What about deen
Is it like what Rasool SA have left to ummah and the sahabah RA followed or is it like the corrected musliyars teach.

May Allah guide us as he guided the Sahabha

Masha Allah. May Almighty Allah accepts the work and give them the reward of Jannah. MAN BANAA MASJIDAN LILLAH BANALLAHU LAHU BAITHAN FIL JANNAH. HADITH.

Keep going \Bearys\"....Best of luck."

\MASHA ALLAH\" Beautiful Masjid"

Wonderful Achievement

Dear All...... Masjids are already Eco friendly. as no part of our worship is included in environmental pollution . difference is power now is eco friendly

Nice to see concept

Masha Allah,

Masha Allah. Thank you Bearys for beautifying our town. I hope women also will be allowed to enter and offer prayer in this mosque. our Probhet has not allowed any MAN to prevent entering the women into mosque.

Really appreciable initiative. In fact Muslims elite should concentrate more on innovating mosque and thereby spreading the message of Islam to non Muslims. Mosque should not be confined to prayers. It should be islamic centre and hidaya centre. There should be exclusive facitlty for non muslims (who want to know about Islam) in mosques.

Masha Allah. Nice to read this report. really impressive.

A wonderful concept. May Allah give long life and immense reward for Beary's group founder Syed Beary sab for this wonderful work. He is a jewel in the community.

Good initiative. Lesson for Hindus too. We should convert all temples and mutts into eco friendly and noise-less buildings. All the best brothers!

C M Ibrahim seeks Karnataka govt nod for mass Eid-ul-Fitr prayers

News Network

May 14,2020

Bengaluru, May 14: Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Former Union Minister and Congress Karnataka MLC, C M Ibrahim has, in a letter to Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa, sought permission for the Muslim community to congregate at Idgah grounds and mosques to offer namaz together on the occasion of Id-ul-Fitr later this month.

"The Id-ul-Fitr festival in the state may be celebrated on the 24th or 25th May 2020, during which Muslims have to offer special prayers. On behalf of the entire community. I would suggest that the Government may take a decision by having due consultation with medical experts to grant permission for Muslims on the day of Id to offer prayers in the Idgah maidans or masjids from morning till 1 pm with all precautionary measures and safety norms," the letter states.

"In this regard. I request you to kindly look into the matter and after consulting the medical experts, take a suitable decision enabling Muslims all over the state to offer ld prayers at ldgah Maidans or Masjids in their respective localities," the letter added.

As part of its COVID-19 guidelines, the Ministry of Home Affairs had earlier directed states and Union territories to prevent social gatherings and religious congregations and ensure lockdown measures were strictly followed.

Comments

If Mr. Yediyurappa gives permission as reqested by Ibrahim, it will be adisastor for Muslims community, Saudi Arabia imposed , full curfew from 23rd to 30th May, 2020, this is to avoid Eid gathering and spread of Corona Virus, our community should boycott such so called self declared leader.

Any new cases of Covid-19 cases will be blamed as Eid Jihad, request all our like minded people to protest this request.

CM Ibrahim is just trying to attract media and public atttention. he is a useless politician.

Who is he? What is he? And what did he do to Muslim community and who gave him the authorization to talk to the minister of behalf of Muslim Community

It will be disastrous for PR, and Joy ride for Atunab & sudir...

This Chadi people will be very happy and start calling this Eid Jeehad...

Dropping Tipu Sultan from Class 7 textbook is a communally motivated move: SDPI

coastaldigest.com news network

July 30,2020

Mangaluru, July 30: The Social Democratic Party of India has condemned the move by the state government to drop a lesson on legendary Mysuru rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan from the class 7 textbook.

The Department of Public Instruction has omitted the chapter from the textbooks of Class 7 in their attempt to reduce syllabus for state board schools by 30 per cent.

The department, however, has decided to retain similar chapters on Tipu Sultan in 6th and 10th Classes, though the syllabus in text books for all classes from 1 to 10th has been trimmed.

In a media release statement, SDPI State President Ilyas Mohammed Thumbe termed the move as communally motivated. “By dropping the lesson, the BJP-led government is engaged in saffronisation of education,” he alleged.

He said that Tipu was the most prominent freedom fighter, who had given priority to irrigation, rocket technology and harmony. The BJP government is also planning to scrap lessons on the Constitution, secularism and democracy. By twisting history, the BJP is trying to mislead the younger generation, he added.

With opposition threatening a ruckus, Karnataka BJP braces for stormy session

News Network

March 2,2020

Bengaluru, Feb 2: The monthlong budget session beginning on Monday, which will mark BS Yediyurappa’s maiden budget in his fourth term as chief minister, is expected to be a fiery one.

The opposition JD(S) and Congress have already threatened to stall proceeding until BJP legislator Basangouda Patil Yatnal apologises for his controversial remarks against freedom fighter and centenarian HS Doreswamy. Yatnal had called him a fake and a Pakistani agent.

Disruptions are also likely to pose a threat to speaker Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri’s novel idea of having a two-day discussion on the Constitution of India to commemorate 70 years of the country’s Independence.

Both opposition parties have scheduled legislature party meetings early on Monday and they could coordinate on issues on the floor of the house to put the BJP — especially Yediyurappa — on the backfoot.

Yatnal is not known as a “hardliner”, but his attack on Doreswamy has garnered support from several ministers including CT Ravi, KS Eshwarappa and V Somanna. Yediyurappa may have a hard time defending his party’s line.

The BJP is yet to schedule its legislature party meeting, but MLAs suggest the party will allow the issue to be raised and debated in the legislature. “Both have expressed their point of view. Let there be a discussion on the matter, but not allowing the house to function will only be a waste of the state’s time and money,” said deputy chief minister CN Ashwath Narayan.

Besides the Doreswamy issue, Yediyurappa will also deliver his reply — postponed from February 20 — to the debate on the governor’s address. The issue of student Amulya Leona Narona’s arrest on a charge of sedition, the Bidar sedition case involving a parent of a school student, pro-Pakistan writings on walls in places in north Karnataka, introduction of NPR and the anti-CAA stir is also likely to feature during the lengthy session.
