I heard that after the Celebration of Eid Miladunnabi (saws) no body are there for the Salah/Prayer /Namaz in Masjid, still I am in confusion about your Love of Prophet (saws) you never thing this type of Love will make you happy/ help in the hereafter.

I meant to say that whatever he Prophet Mohammad Peace be upon him teaches us, do it first rest of guesses will discuss later.

Obey the 5 Islamic Pillars
1. Shahadath Kalima
2. Five (5) Times a day Obligatory Prayers
3. Zakath (Obligatory Charity for the poor people)
4. Ramzan / Ramadan Fasting
5. HAJ (If it is possible / able to do Haj, go for Haj)

If you are unable to fulfill the commandments of Allah and the prophet Mohammad (pbuh) as much as you can, then what type Muslim you are?

A new chapter is unfolding for football in Mangaluru as the football ground adjacent to Nehru Maidan receives a modern artificial turf, with completion expected by the end of May. This long-awaited upgrade promises to significantly enhance the playing experience for both budding and seasoned footballers in the region.

The project, spearheaded by Mangaluru Smart City Limited (MSCL), involves laying synthetic turf across the 90,000 sq ft ground at a cost of ₹2.5 crore. Equipped with efficient drainage systems, the revamped ground will support uninterrupted play throughout the year, regardless of weather conditions.

“This is a long-pending demand of the football community here,” said D.M. Aslam of the Dakshina Kannada District Football Association. “We expect the turf work to be completed in the next two weeks. Currently, around 150 children practice regularly at the ground, and we anticipate that number to rise once the new surface is open.”

MSCL General Manager (Technical), Arun Prabha K.S., noted that while the project had been planned for some time, groundwork officially began after last year’s monsoon league concluded in August. “Once completed, this facility will be a full-fledged synthetic turf suitable for training, local tournaments, and league matches,” he said.

With the inauguration expected soon after the final touches are completed, the new astro turf is set to elevate the city’s football infrastructure and serve as a springboard for talent development across the district.
