Mangaluru, Jun 26: For the first time in the history of Ullal, Muslims offered Eid al-Fitr namaz for two consecutive days in the same mosque, a development observed by Islamic scholars  as “most unfortunate and un-Islamic.”

With this the internal clash between two factions of Sayyid Shareeful Madani Dargah and central Juma Masjid has entered a new phase.

High drama prevailed, when a group of followers of beleaguered Ullal Khazi Fazal Koyamma Thangal aka Koorath Thangal, entered the premises of the mosque located adjacent to the dargah chanting takbir as part of Eid celebration on Monday noon.

Those who were inside the mosque, locked the doors from inside in an attempt to prevent the followers of Koorth Thangal from offering Eid namaz for the second day. Police had to intervene to bring the situation under control when the verbal altercation between two group led to a physical clash.

After a prolonged argument, the followers of Koorath Thangal were allowed to offer Eid namaz in congregation in the same mosque. Police had provided tight security for the namaz.

A majority of Muslims in Ullal had offered Eid namaz in juma mosque (dargah mosque) and other mosques on Sunday. However, followers of Koortha Thangal had observed fast on Sunday and postponed Eid to Monday.

Abdul Rasheed Haji, the president of the management committee of the Juma mosque and dargah had yesterday justified the decision of celebrating Eid al-Fitr on Sunday in spite of the sudden opposition by Koorath Thangal, who is not in touch with the committee for past one year.

“Dakshina Kannada Khazi Thwaka Ahmed Musliyar and Udupi Khazi Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal had already announced Eid after verifying moon-sighting reports from Bhatkal on Saturday night. Hence, in Ullal, assistant Khazi announced the Eid in the absence of Koorath Thangal,” he clarified.
Why two days?

Koorath Thangal was appointed as the Khazi of Ullal in March 2014 following the demise of his father Thajul Ulama Assayyid Abdurrahman Al-Bukhari, who was the Khazi of Ullal for several decades. Koorath Thangal’s several moves had triggered controversy in last couple of years.

According to sources, the reason for fresh controversy is that management committee of the mosque did not inform Koorath Thangal before announcing the end of the Ramadan Saturday night as he was not in touch with the committee.

As soon as Koorath Thangal realized that announcement of Eid was made without his permission, he sent a voice message on social media stating that Sunday will be the 30th day of Ramadan. A few clerics reportedly tried to convince Koorath Thangal to change his decision but in vain.

Eid Clashes are only because of EGO. There are two groups EK & AP who are taking people for ride. People with no knowledge of Islam go behind these fools. Y do we need any Thangal or Mullah to follow Islam? There is Quraan & haddeeth, that is more than enough. people who are half-learned scholars are creating this rift between muslim community. Educated people will never do this. May ALLAH give Hidaya to these fools running behind MULLAH & Thangal.

Mangaluru, May 12: In a shocking development, a group of pilgrims which had travelled from Mangaluru International Airport to Saudi Arabia earlier this month, to perform Umrah has alleged that 26,432 Saudi Riyals, which were kept in a bag, have been stolen. 

In a complaint submitted to the Bajpe Police, Soukath Banu, wife of Ahmed Iqbal of Ajyad Tours and Travels, said that her husband, Ahmed Iqbal, along with 35 members, planned and scheduled to perform the Umrah and were travelling from Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) via Mumbai to Jeddah. 

Soukath Banu had given Ahmed Iqbal 2,000 Saudi Riyals for performing Umrah and other expenses. The group members were also told to bring Saudi Riyals to meet their expenses.

In her plaint, Soukath stated that the group had left for Jeddah on an IndiGo flight via Mumbai, and their return ticket to India was booked for May 13. 

At the airport, she said that 26,432 Saudi Riyals were collected in total, and they decided to keep them in baggage that had a lock. Accordingly, it was kept in the bag of Mohammad Badruddin Kadambar. The airport staff had even questioned what he had kept in the bag. 

The group reached Jeddah on May 1. To their surprise, Kadambar found that the baggage lock was broken open, the zip was damaged, and cash was stolen upon reaching Jeddah.

DCP (Law and Order) Sidharth Goyal said that following the complaint, one round of CCTV checks was conducted at the MIA along with the CISF personnel. The loading at the MIA was intact.

Further checks have to be carried out at Mumbai and Jeddah Airport as the victim found out that cash was missing only when they got the bag at the final destination, he added.

Mangaluru: A native of Kerala was arrested on charge of misbehaving with crew on an Air India Express flight while travelling from Dubai to Mangaluru International Airport. The man even threatened to jump from the aircraft, according to officials. 

Siddartha Das, the security coordinator for Air India Express, lodged a complaint against the passenger, identified as Muhammad BC from Kannur, Kerala, after which he was caught by the airport security once the flight landed at Mangaluru. He was later handed over to the police.

DCP (Law and Order) Sidharth Goyal said the incident occurred on Flight IX814 on May 8.

When the flight was above the sea, Muhammad reportedly said he wanted to get off the plane, posing a threat to all on board. The unruly flyer was detained by airport security once the flight landed at Mangaluru International Airport and he was handed over to Bajpe police station officials.

Sources added once the flight took off from Dubai, the accused went to the lavatory and thereafter started inquiring with the cabin crew about a person named Krishna who was not on the flight. Muhammad kept on pressing the bell for in-flight assistance, even though the cabin crew members were near at hand. He then picked up a life jacket, gave it to a crew member, and said he wanted to use it upon landing.
