Hindu-Muslim amity to the fore at this Urus

News Network

January 22, 2018

Kasaragod, Jan 22: The annual Urus at the 12th century Pulingome Makham, a Sunni pilgrim centre here, has religious harmony written all over it. In fact, the festivities are finalised only in consultation with a Hindu family in the area.

In strict adherence to tradition, the Pulingome Juma Masjid Jamaat committee, this year too, invited senior members of the Kamballur Kottayil family to the mosque on January 15 to finalise the festivities for the six-day event scheduled from April 11.

After the conclusion of the evening prayers, the Imam formally announced the schedule in the presence of invited guests from the family on the mosque premises, K.K. Shyam Kumar, a member of the family said.

The function was followed by a mass prayer. The guests and the local people who converged at the mosque were offered refreshments. This time, office-bearers of the nearby Sankara-Narayana-Dharmasatha temple were also invited to the ceremony, Mr. Shyam Kumar said.

Legend

Legend has it that the ancestors of the Kamballur Kottayil family migrated from “Telecherry (Thalassery) Kottayam” in the 12th century and the local dynasty chieftain vested with them control of land holdings in the region.

The family was responsible for maintaining law and order. A group of Muslims approached them, seeking permission to set up a mosque, which was granted. Eventually, permission was also granted to conduct Uroos. For around 300 years, the Urus schedule is being fixed in consultation with the family.

The partition of the family in 1942, upheld by the South Canara Civil Court in Mangaluru, validated three religious institutions falling under it — Kamballur Bhaghavathy Temple, Shankara-Narayana-Dharmasastha Temple at Pulingom, and strangely, the Pulingom Makham.

Later, the mosque came under the administration of the Pulingome Juma Masjid Jamaat committee, which too chose to adhere to the age-old tradition.

there is no 'our religion' and 'your religion'....there is only one God to whole mankind , that means there should be only one religion ... religion to understand Him, obey Him and worship Him only...

unfortunately people follow different paths knowingly and unknowingly... and most of them are worship God's creations....

Alhamdulillah

Whatever..., just promote peace and unity among people

True.. Well said Yogesh. They think as they are complete.

I knew many of them from your religion worshiping creation. First teach and make them proper then critisise other religion and religious people.

Just leave religious blah blah. Their act became the symbol of humanity.

Such act is not part of Islam. It does not promote grave worship. Tawheed (Worshipping Allah alone) is the foundation of Islam. The acts mentioned above will be regarded as Associating partners with Allah (SWT)

Worship the creator, not his creation....

Pro-CAA arsonists burn down BSF Jawan’s house, call him ‘Pakistani’

News Network

February 29,2020

New Delhi, Feb 29: The arsonists, who were allegedly hired by the pro-CAA politicians in Delhi to unleash violence against Muslims, did not even spare the residence of Border Security Force personnel Mohammed Anees.

While the jawan, who has spent three years guarding the borders along Jammu and Kashmir, had hoped that his job profile mentioned on the nameplate hung outside their two-storey house would discourage the vandals, he was proved wrong.

The nameplate on house number 76 in Khas Khajuri Gali clearly mentioned it was the property of a security force personnel who protects India’s borders from foreign invasions. Yet, it was burned down on the afternoon of February 25.

First, the ruthless goons set the vehicles parked outside the jawan’s house on fire, then they torched his home. Stones were also pelted at his house amid slogans of “idhar aa Pakistani, tujhe naagarikta dete hai” (Come here Pakistani, get your citizenship).

Apart from Anees, his father Mohammed Moonis, 55, uncle Mohd Ahmed, 59, and 18-year-old cousin Niha Parveen were in the house. Sensing what was about to go down next, they all escaped from the house, and were helped by paramilitary troops.

Charred remains of the house now stand where the house was till three days ago. In the two lanes of Khajuri Khas near Anees’s house, 35 houses were set on fire.

The loss suffered by the BSF soldier’s family was perhaps greater as they had kept all their life’s savings inside: two weddings in the family were to take place in the next three months.

Niha Parveen was to get married in April and Anees himself was to get married the following month. “All the things we collected all our life, jewellery – two gold necklaces, silver jewellery, it is all gone,” the family said.

“We used to buy jewellery on instalments… used to give money every month and collected this jewellery,” they said. Rs 3 lakh in cash for the wedding arrangements also got burnt along with other valuables and all their belongings.

Khajuri Khas is a Hindu-majority area, but Anees’s family says no neighbour of theirs was involved in the attack. “People came from outside.” Instead, their Hindu neighbours were asking the rioters to leave. They requested them to leave and helped douse the vehicles on fire.
