Mangaluru, Nov 22: Thousands of Muslims from different parts of undivided Dakshina Kannada district on Tuesday gathered at Nehru Maidan in the heart of Mangaluru city pledging to uphold Muslim Personal Law and to unitedly oppose the Prime Minister Narendra Modi led-Union Government's attempt to interfere in Islamic Shariah.

All the speakers at theShariah Protection Conference' organised by the Muslim Central Committee of Dakshina Kannada and Udupi exhorted the Muslim community to resist any move to amend India's Muslim Personal Law that is based on the tenets of Shariah.

Inaugurating the conference, B K Abdul Khader Musliyar Khasimi, chief of Bambrana Juma Masjid, said Islamic Shariah is timeless and nobody would be allowed to dabble in its basic tenets.

“Islamic Shariah is built on the edifice of the Holy Qur'an, Prophet's Sunnah and the perception and perspectives commonly shared by scholars all over the world. It is the decree of Allah, the Almighty. No government or system can change or alter it. It is unalterable, perennial and fit to survive all the time and it will withstand the challenges of all ages,” he said.

"Muslim community has opposed strongly when the idea of Uniform Civil Code was mooted 30 years ago. It is anti-Islamic and impractical in India, where people with various faiths and religions co-exist. Moreover, it will escalate problems in the country," he said.

"It is an irony that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is keen on protection of rights of Muslim women, but he has failed to protect his wife. Quran gave equal rights to women in their ancestral property. It is unacceptable to agree the decisions taken by those who do not have knowledge on Islam, Quran and Sharia Law. We have clergies to discuss about Sharia Law and talaq. Let the government concentrate on administration," Khasimi said.

"Talaq is explained very clearly in Sharia Law. It is not uttered on a single day. There are several steps to be followed before triple talaq is completed. There are opportunities for couple to reunite even after first and second talaq. Divorce as per triple talaq becomes valid only when all the steps fail to reunite the couple," he explained.

Muhammed Kunhi, a representative of Jamat-e-Islami Hind said debate on triple talaq and uniform civil code is irrelevant when the nation has several other major issues to be sorted out. He pointed out that Ram Jethmalani, who was the law minister in Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, had rejected Uniform Civil Code as non-practical move.

"Conduct a survey to ascertain the actual number of Muslim women who suffered due to triple talaq. In fact talaq is a blessing when divorce becomes necessary for couple," he added.

“The situation is such that fascist- minded people are out to dictate terms on trivial issues apart from interfering in the administration, arts and literature in the country. The attempts to strengthen multicultural society are being construed as an offence,” he said. Kunhi also called it as the nefarious intention of members of the Sangh Parivar, who are enforcing their political agenda.

Abdul Azeez Darimi from Karnataka Samastha Mushavara, said Muslims are united to protect Sharia Law in India. "Sharia Law is not against the Indian Constitution. Neither Parliament nor courts have the right to deny the fundamental rights under Indian Constitution. Hence, it is not possible for the government to introduce Uniform Civil Code in India, where over 6,000 castes and sub-castes exist. Sharia Law is not against non-Muslims," he added.

Muslim Central Committee president K S Mohammed Masood presided.

REMINDER OF THE DAY
When the foolish one speaks, do not reply to him, for better than a response (to him) is silence, and if you speak to him you have aided him, and if you left him (with no reply) in extreme sadness he dies.
- Imam Ash-Shaafi'ee (ra)
\And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace\"
{Surah Al Furqan 25: Verse 63}"

Letter to Naren

Dear Brother Naren Kotian,

You have been commenting on this website for so many years now. Apart from a few readers responding to you, have you seen this make any change in beliefs that millions firmly follow? Ever wondered why?

Let me tell you why. You see Brother Naren , you aren't born without a reason. There is a reason why you are created. You are nothing but a 'number of days' . As each day passes , you approach something that no body could deny ie \DEATH\". All rich/poor/powerful/rulers everyone is dead now. Of which some names we know and billions we don't.
Listen to me carefully now. This could be a turning point for you and rethink your own opinions.

The Creator whom you call Brahma, Has created you to worship Him. He will call you back on the Judgement Day. He will hold you accountable for all your good deeds/bad deeds. He will ask you if you have fulfilled the duties He commanded you to do. He will then reward you with Paradise for you can live eternally/ punish you in Fire.

If this message looks strange, please read all religious Scriptures. Every religious Scripture has these things in common:
1. One God 2. Life is to Worship Him Alone 3. Judgement Day.
As a well wisher , I would wish that Brahma whom Muslims call Allah (Arabic), give you guidance and grant you Paradise.
Please don't hesitate to buy the Last Book from Brahma ie the Quran. It is available in Kannada translation in Mangalore. Have a great day Brother Naren."

Excellent gathering. Nice to see all the ulemas and leaders of different groups who have come under one platform to oppose the interference of the government. This is highly laudable of the Muslim Central committee President along with all the office bearers and members who worked relentlessly to get everyone on board. A gathering of 50000 people is hugely commendable and hope we Muslim brothers will always gather to oppose any decision which is against our Sharia and also unite against terrorism and come together to help our brother and sisters in distress. India is our country and no one can tell us to leave our country as we will not and shall unite always as we have shown yesterday. I had sometime back read in an article what was the Central committee doing etc etc. This is a very big achievement by them Kudos to them and I hope we all unite and be united.

If you go back the history In 1974 Congress did the Nasbandi and Turkman gate scandal particularly control the Muslim population ended up with Emergency and thrown the Regime of Congress out of power and again it tried in 1985 Shah Banu case and failed keep the power at Center and now the Shang Pariwar ( BJP+) back again with same old agenda with new theory to demolish Muslim personal Law but these major political power house forget that once it touched the issue of Muslims either Sharia law or Babri Masjid the result is ended up with Musilm Unity. So the time is back again to show the unity .. Jai Hind Jai Muslim

Bengaluru, Apr 16: In view of the raging coronavirus pandemic, no public iftaar or sehri will be organized during Ramazan, the month of fasting for the Muslims, the Karnataka Minority Welfare Department announced here on Thursday.

"No public shall be allowed to perform five-time congregational prayers in mosques, across Karnataka during Ramazan in view of COVID-19 pandemic. No public address system to be used by the staff of mosques for offering namaz,'' the department said.

During the holy month of Ramazan, it is a tradition to organise iftaar feasts for large gatherings by different people, especially by politicians, celebrities and the common wealthy people for their friends and family.

Ramazan is to commence from the 24th or 25th of April this year, depending on the sighting of the moon.

The order stated that Azaan (the call for prayer) shall be given at low decibel and namaaz including Friday namaaz, will be performed by the imams, moazzins and the masjid staff only.
No public should be allowed to offer namaaz in the mosques as per government directions, it said.

The state government also cited an order by the Ministry of Home Affairs dated April 15, which stated that "All religious places/places of worship shall be closed for public. Religious congregations are strictly prohibited due to the outbreak of COVID-19 across the country."
Thirty-four more COVID-19 cases, including 17 cases from Belagavi, have been reported from Karnataka. The total number of coronavirus cases in the state now stands at 313.

The total number of cases in India has now climbed to 12,380. Out of these cases, 1489 have been cured/discharged/migrated while 414 deaths have been reported so far, as per the latest data provided by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

Bengaluru, Jul 17: Karnataka Minister for Health and Family Welfare B Sriramulu on Thursday clarified that his remarks have been misinterpreted, wherein he apparently said that ''only God can save people from Covid''.

The Bharatiya Janata Party leader slammed KPCC President D K Shivakumar for spreading false information and said that my words were not meant to cause panic among the masses.

''Respected Shivakumar, this is a clarification regarding my words that have been misinterpreted and misunderstood.

While responding to claims of the opposition that the government’s negligence, irresponsibility and the lack of coordination among ministers are responsible for the rise in cases in the state, I stated that ‘these accusations are far from the truth. People need to be aware and cautious to avoid the spread of the virus. This plays a vital role in controlling the pandemic. If we fail at this crucial step the situation can get complicated. And if things go worse, then only God can save us'', Mr Sriramulu said in a series of posts on Twitter

The Karnataka BJP, which faced action on Twitter earlier this month over incendiary tweets, this time has passed the blame of Sangh Parivar sponsored Delhi violence to the victims.

In an insensitive tweet on Friday, it dubbed the protests against the notorious Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) as "fake" and added that the violence that followed was "the most well-planned assault on the Idea of India," in an apparent attempt to portray the victims as villains.

The handle, notorious for tweets targeting Muslims, blamed the clashes that erupted in Delhi between people demonstrating for and against the CAA on "so called 'Peacefuls'" - a known right-wing slur for Muslims.

Many people on social media called out the tweet for misleading people and covering up the role of Delhi BJP leader Kapil Mishra's provocative speech for triggering the violence or the failure of the Delhi Police, which reports to the former BJP chief and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, in controlling the riots.

Earlier this month, the Karnataka BJP had tweeted a video of Muslim women standing in queue to vote in the Delhi elections, showing their voter ID cards, with the snarky caption: "Keep the documents safe, you will need to show them again during NPR (National Population Register) exercise."

Soon after, the party unit's Twitter handle was blocked by the social media platform for 24 hours after many accused it of encouraging Islamophobia.

NPR has been widely criticised by opposition parties as a precursor to the government's planned NRC or National Register of Citizens which intends to make Indians prove their citizenship with documents that many poor or illiterate do not possess.

Many fear that combined with the already imposed CAA - which promises citizenship to only non-Muslim refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh - the NRC can be used to make millions of Muslims stateless.

The government has denied the allegation and said the CAA only intends to help those who have faced religious persecution. In recent weeks, it has gone back on its rhetoric on the NRC which was announced by Amit Shah in parliament as "it will certainly happen".

The CAA, which was cleared by parliament in December, has triggered deadly protests in the country which left at least 25 dead till Sunday. Since then, at least 42 more people have been killed as large-scale violence erupted in northeast Delhi and hundreds of homes and shops have been burned to the ground.
