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 7: Leader of Opposition in Karnataka Siddaramaiah on Monday urged Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa to announce a special package to help farmers, agriculture labourers and also working class in various sectors who are affected by the lockdown.

Mr Siddaramaiah put forth his demands during a telephonic conversation and the Chief Minister positively responding to it informed that he will formulate a programme keeping in mind the suggestions made by the Opposition, a statement from the LoP's office said.

It said, the Chief Minister also spoke to Mr Siddaramaiah regarding the government's decision to stop supply of free food for poor and needy through Indira Canteens.

Mr Siddaramaiah on Saturday had written to Yediyurappa urging him to utilise Indira Canteens efficiently and provide food for poor and needy until the coronavirus crisis and lockdown is over.

The former Chief Minister's letter had come a day after the state government had decided not to provide free food at Indira Canteens as concerns were raised about the quality and misuse that was happening.

It had, however, decided to continue to provide subsidised food- breakfast at Rs 5 and lunch and dinner at Rs 10, as usual.

Mr Yediyurappa during the phone conversation on Monday appraised Siddaramaiah that the decision to supply food by fixing a price was taken to stop misuse that was happening.

Mr Siddaramaiah, however, insisted the government should provide food free of cost to the poor and needy, by taking care that misuse doesn't happen.

The senior Congress leader asked the Chief Minister to take action against errant officials who allowed misuse to happen, the statement said, adding that Yediyurappa has promised to look into it.

Initially, the government last month had decided that the state subsidised Indira Canteens would provide food packets free of cost to the poor and needy in the wake of the lockdown.

Kochi, Jan 21: Eight tourists from Kerala were found dead in a resort at Daman in Makwanpur district of Nepal, reports said. The dead include a couple and four minor children.

The deceased were identified as Praveen Kumar Nair (39), Saranya (34), Ranjith Kumar T.B (39), Indu Ranjith (34), Sreebhadra (9), Abhinav Soorya (9), Abhi Nair (7) and Vaishnav Ranjith (2).

The deceased are from Chengottukonam in Thiruvananthapuram and Kundamangalam in Kozhikode. Praveen, a travel enthusiast hailing from Chengottukonam, went on the Nepal trip with his wife, three children and friends from Kochi, last week.

 “They were using a gas heater in the room. Suffocation might have caused their death,” said superintendent of police Sushil Singh Rathore of the District Police Office in Makwanpur, news agencies reported.

According to newspaper reports here, the deaths occurred at a resort named Everest Panorama. They were airlifted to HAMS hospital where they were pronounced dead on arrival, superintendent of police Sushil Singh Rathaur said.

They were part of a group of 15 people travelling from Kerala to Pokhara, a popular mountain tourist destination, The Himalayan Times reported.

They were on their way back home and stayed at Everest Panorama resort in Daman in Makawanpur district on Monday night.

The tourists are suspected to have died of asphyxiation after turning on the gas heater and shutting all the windows to keep warm.  Hotel staff opened the room using duplicate keys as there was no response from the rooms when the other members of the group went to check on them.

According to the manager of the resort, the guests stayed in a room and turned on a gas heater to keep themselves warm. Although they had booked a total of four suites, eight of them stayed in a room, the manager said, adding that all the windows and the door of the room were bolted from inside.

“All arrangements have been made to bring the bodies to Kerala at the earliest. The Union government is coordinating with the Indian Embassy in Nepal. A doctor from the Indian embassy will be present during the post mortem. Other members of the group are being brought to Kathmandu by road,” said Union minister V Muraleedharan.

Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan said that NORKA will coordinate with Nepal authorities to bring dead bodies.

 “Embassy officials are at the government hospital where a post mortem is being done. Formalities will be completed at the earliest and arrangements are in place to bring dead bodies by Wednesday evening. State government is in constant contact with Nepal authorities,” said Kadakampally Surendran, tourism minister.
