Kozhikode, Feb 27: Kanthapuram A P Aboobacker Musliyar has been made Grand Mufti, the top authority to give non-binding advice and opinion on Islamic jurisprudence and religious practices of the Sunnis in India.

Musliyar, who has been the general secretary of the All-India Muslim Scholars Association for over a quarter century, was selected as Grand Mufti at the Gareeb Navaz peace conference held at Ram Leela Maidan in New Delhi on Monday, a release stated.

The conference was attended by over 1,000 representatives of Sunni associations from 23 States. Hazrath Mannan Khan Razvi Barelvi, a prominent Barelvi scholar from Uttar Pradesh, conferred the title on Musaliyar.

The event was organized under the banner of All India Thanzeem Ulamae Islam. Grand Mufti is a position that holds the supreme authority to issue fatwa (authoritative legal opinion on Islamic matters), said a news release issued by Markazu Ssaqafathi Ssunniyya, an Islamic educational institution founded by the Sunni leader here.

Sayed Ameen Miya Barakthi, founder of Aligarh Al Barakath Institute, Sheikh Hazrath Sayyid Babr Ashraf, vice-president of Ajmeer Darga, Mufthi Shfaq Husain Qadiri, national president of Tanzime Ulama, among others were present at the function.

Addressing the gathering at the function, Musaliyar said Sunni Muslims in India should be united under a platform irrespective of the differences.

The Sunni movements in India would attempt to strengthen peace in the country along with development works in education and humanitarian sectors, he said.

Mangaluru: In a deeply tragic turn of events, a 28-year-old woman named Ranjitha, who had recently given birth but tragically lost her newborn, ended her life by suicide on Monday. She reportedly leapt from the fourth-floor window of Lady Goschen Hospital’s luggage room.

Ranjitha, whose strength and resilience had carried her through a difficult pregnancy, was scheduled for discharge on Monday. Her journey to Lady Goschen Hospital began on October 24, when she was transferred from Karkala. She was a high-risk patient, battling both hypertension and diabetes. At the time of her admission, she was just 27 weeks pregnant.

Due to the complexities of her health, doctors made the difficult decision to perform an emergency C-section on October 30. She delivered a baby girl, premature and weighing only 960 grams. The newborn was immediately moved to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, where doctors did all they could. Despite these efforts, the baby passed away on November 3.

Ranjitha’s sorrow was profound. She stayed under hospital care even after her initial recovery and was preparing to go home on November 9. She had even requested a couple more days at the hospital, seeking time perhaps to cope with her unimaginable grief.

On the day of her discharge, a discharge card ready and her family eagerly waiting to take her home, Ranjitha reportedly made her way to the luggage room in the early hours. There, standing on a cot placed for patients' family members, she climbed to a window and fell from the fourth floor. Despite the attempts of another visitor to intervene, tragedy was inevitable. She was rushed to Government Wenlock Hospital, where doctors confirmed the worst—she was no more.

Dr. Durgaparasad M R, the Medical Superintendent at Lady Goschen Hospital, shared his grief and spoke of the ongoing investigation. A post-mortem is to be conducted, and the local Tahsildar will complete the necessary inquest procedures. Ranjitha’s exact reasons for taking this step are yet to be confirmed, though the weight of her recent losses paints a sorrowful picture.
