Muslims in Mangaluru, Udupi, Kerala to observe Eid-ul-Adha on Sept 12

September 2, 2016

Mangaluru, Sep 2: The Muslims in Kerala and coastal Karnataka will celebrate Eid-ul-Adha, the festival of sacrifice, on September 12. Saturday (September 3) marks the first day of the Islamic month of Dhul-Hijjah, and Eid always falls on the 10th day of this month.

Muslim religious heads and Khazis across Kerala and coastal Karnataka unanimously announced the date of Eid as the crescent moon was sighted in several parts of Kerala on Friday night.

The religious heads who confirmed the Eid date include Kerala Jemiyyathul Ulama President Abdul Hameed Madani, Mangaluru Khazi Thwaka Ahmed Musliyar and Udupi Khazi Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal.

Interestingly, most of the Muslim majority Middle Eastern countries including Saudi Arabia will also observe the Eid on the same day.

Eid follows the descent of the Hajj pilgrims from Mount Arafat, a hill in Makkah where Prophet Mohammed gave his final sermon.

Also during Eid-ul-Adha, Muslims traditionally slaughter an animal – usually a sheep, goat, cow or camel – to commemorate a similar offering to God made by the Prophet Abraham.

Offensive OR Defensive ..... Prevention is always, always, always ........better than CURE..... I wish , what happened to Praveen poojary should not happen to others .....

Dear SK

Dont be defensive... What CD mentioned is true and ALLAH made halal to sacrifice Camel, Cow , Goat or sheep which is also a Creation of ALLAH.... Cow is an option which is helpful to the POOR to sacrifice for the sake of ALLAH.
Dont think cheddis love Cow. Thats a fake love which they want to divert from the hindu masses to see them as bhakt.. Dont U see Cows are dying in the Gowshala? & smell are coming out in all places even in rajastan.
Its cheddi ideology to fool people ... Even in VEDAS we see many kings and hindu priests eating Cows...
So dont be defensive... Cow is HALAL . ALLAH, the creator of U, ME and all that exists has made it Halal...

In ISLAM, when U sacrifice, U will share the meat with U, Ur family and the Poor of your area... when we see in other culture, they sacrifice and bury the cows and buffaloes in the earth.. No benefit only loss of cows live...

I kindly request the Media to check before reporting.... For Qurbani, cows are seldom used, only buffaloes , bulls, goats, sheeps are used...

Such misreporting will encourage the sanghis like Naren to attack Islam

???? ???? God is Great

Situation in Nagamangala town peaceful after Ganesh idol procession violence: Home Minister

News Network

September 14,2024

Bengaluru: Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Saturday said the situation in violence-hit Nagamangala town in Mandya district is peaceful now, and steps have been taken to ensure that no untoward incidents take place.

Clashes had broken out between two groups during the Ganesh idol procession in the town, following which mobs went on a rampage with stone pelting and targeting several shops and vehicles leading to tension on Wednesday night.

"Situation in Nagamangala is now peaceful and there is no problem there. I have also instructed officials to hold a peace meeting there. We have instructed officers to ensure that no untoward incidents take place, enough police force is also stationed there," Parameshwara told reporters here.

About 55 people have been arrested in connection with the incident and they have been sent to judicial custody, according to police sources.

Responding to a question on opposition parties including JD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy raising doubts about the FIR, he said, "The police will do what has to be done in accordance with law..."

Asked about BJP sending a fact finding team to Nagamangala, the Home Minister said, "Let them find the facts and inform us, and if there is any fact from their fact finding, we will look into it. It will make our work a bit easier." The BJP panel consisting of MLA C N Ashwath Narayan, former Minister Byrathi Basavaraj, former Minister K C Narayana Gowda, state secretary Lakshmi Ashwin Gowda, and former IPS officer Bhaskar Rao, will visit the spot and submit a comprehensive report to the party in a week.

According to police, an argument had broken out between two groups, when the Ganesh idol procession by devotees from Badri Koppalu village reached a place of worship on Wednesday, and some miscreants hurled stones, which escalated the situation.
