Dammam, February 27: India Fraternity Forum has organised a series of public meets in Kannada on message of Prophet Muhammad across Eastern Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The programmes aimed at NRIs mainly took place in Dammam, Al-Khobar, Jubail, Nariyah, Khafji and Al-Ahsa the key hub of Eastern Province.

The speakers at different programmes stressed the message and fact that Prophet Muhammad was sent not only to Muslims but for entire mankind by quoting different Quranic verses and Hadith. In recent times generally speaking moral rectitude and the spiritual code had long been forgotten. Corruption, communalism, adultery etc spread everywhere. Superstitious rites and dogmas had replaced the tenets of the Divine religion. Same kind of scenario can be witnessed across the world including India. Islam is the only solution which can eradicate these widespread immoral practices.

Islam has not failed and it will never fail. It contains solutions to the humanity for all times to come. Islam is the ideology from Allah for this world. It is a practicable ideology. The Arabs were the most backward nation of its time. But Prophet Muhammad has changed everything and he is ideal for all of us. Prophet Muhammad not only spread the message of Islam but also he lead the life as ideal person.

Speakers also elaborated that Prophet Muhammad conferred lot of importance for the unity in Islam, but today some of the namesake leaders of the community are trying to divide the community by going against Prophet Muhammad. Presently across the globe Muslims are facing alarming challenges such as Muslim economy, education, political turmoil in Muslim populated states, day by day under the pretext of secularism, identity through which Islam is crushed across the globe. At this stage Muslims should unite by forgetting internal differences within the community and fight for the rights of the human beings, they said.

Hundreds of people participated in the programmes across Eastern province out of which Nariyah and Khafji were the new places where India Fraternity Forum organized such programmes. The programmes began with the recitation of verses of Quran. Muhammed Ashraf was the main speaker in Dammam, Khobar and Khafji. Sherief delivered speech in Jubail and Hasa, while Badruddin addressed in Nariyah. IFF volunteers facilitated the smooth conducting of the event with impressive assistance.

Riyadh: Abdulaziz Kushalnagar, a long-time Indian expatriate from Kushalnagar, Karnataka, and a well-respected member of the Riyadh community, passed away on 10 April 2025 at a local hospital in Al Rabwah. He was 57.

According to sources close to the family and his close friend, Irfan Mani, Abdulaziz was admitted to the hospital on the 14th of Ramadan after suddenly collapsing due to a cardiac arrest. Earlier that evening, he had attended an Iftar gathering hosted by a friend in the Al-Shifa area of Riyadh. After breaking his fast and offering Maghrib prayers, he spent time conversing with friends before heading to a nearby mosque for Isha prayers.

Shortly after leaving the mosque, he reportedly began feeling unwell and collapsed from a heart attack. He was immediately rushed to the hospital and admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), where he slipped into a coma.

Despite ongoing medical efforts, Abdulaziz did not regain consciousness and was pronounced dead on the afternoon of 10 April after showing no response to treatment.

Following the completion of all necessary legal formalities—including clearances from the Indian Embassy and Saudi authorities—his funeral was held on Saturday night after Isha and Janazah prayers at Al-Rajhi Mosque. He was laid to rest at Naseem Cemetery, where a large gathering of relatives, friends, and well-wishers came to offer their final respects.

Abdulaziz had been residing in Saudi Arabia for over 35 years and was employed with a private company in Riyadh. Known for his warm personality, humility, and dedication to community service, he actively participated in various social and cultural organizations, including the Malanadu Gulf Trust (MGT).

He is survived by his wife, four children, and a wide circle of family, friends, and community members who deeply mourn his loss. Messages of condolence have poured in from across Karnataka and the Gulf, remembering him as a kind-hearted and community-spirited individual.

Organizations such as MGT Malanadu KSA, KNRI, Karavali Welfare Association, KSF Riyadh, KCF Riyadh, and several others expressed their deep condolences and offered prayers for the departed soul.
