Jamia Masjid, Dargah witness massive gathering of devotees on last Friday of Ramadan

[ad_1]
Srinagar, Apr 21: A massive gathering of devotees was witnessed in Srinagar’s Hazratbal Dargah shrine and the historic Jamia Masjid on the last Friday of the holy month Ramadan.
Reports reaching the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) said that nearly 50,000 devotees offered congregational Friday prayers at the historic Jamia Masjid, which remained closed for the prayers last Friday.
The biggest congregation was, however, witnessed at Hazratbal shrines where the devotees from different parts of the Valley participated in the Friday prayers, where the holy relic of the Prophet (SAW) was displayed during which emotional scenes were witnessed all around.
Large congregations were also witnessed in others Masjids and shrines including Masjid Jamiat-e-Ahlehadith, Gawkadal; Asar-e-Sharif, Janab Sahib Soura Asar-e-Sharif Shehri Kalashpora Ziarat-e-Makhdoom Sahib, Khanqah-e-Mualla and different Imambaras.
The biggest congregational prayers were also witnessed at several other shrines in different districts, including Chararisharief in Budgam, Khiram Sirhama & Hazratbal Kabamarg in Anantnag district, Shrines of Hazrat Sultan-ul-Arifeen and Sheikh Hamzah Makhdoom Sahib (RA) located in Ahm-e-Sharief and Gundpora-Rampora, respectively, in Bandipora district and other Masjids as well.
During the special prayers, the religious clerics threw light on the teachings of Islam.
Special arrangements were put in place including sanitation, lightening, traffic management, transport and relevant things for the devotees, officials said.
“We had also established a control room at Dargah Hazratbal where thousands of devotees are expected to gather for Friday congregational prayers and to have a glimpse of the holy relic,” officials said.

The authorities had also pressed buses into service to ferry devotees to and from Hazratbal Dargah.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson of the Anjuman Auqaf Jamia Masjid, said that on the occasion of Last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan, thousands of men, women and young people performed Friday prayer at the historical Jama Masjid Srinagar by prostrating themselves before the Almighty Allah, doing Tauba-Wa-Istighfaar – repenting over their sins and seeking forgiveness from their Lord.
However, the people were once again disappointed over the absence of their beloved leader Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Dr Moulvi Muhammad Umar Farooq who is under house detention for the last nearly four years due to which the Mimbar and Mihraab of the grand mosque continue to remain silent, the statement said.
He conveyed the Eid-ul-Fitr message of the detained Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir to the people in a huge public gathering and appealed to them to celebrate Eid with simplicity according to Islamic teachings. They were urged to remember the poor, needy, backward and disadvantaged people of society in the festivities.
Anjuman expressed strong resentment against the continuous illegal and arbitrary detention of Mirwaiz –e-Kashmir and said the authorities should change their dictatorial attitude and release him before Eid
On the occasion, the people raised their voices for the immediate and unconditional release of Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir.
Meanwhile, the Anjuman said that the Eid prayers are going to be offered after three years at Jama Masjid Srinagar inshallah and according to the programme, the Eid prayer will be offered at 09:00 am, In Sha Allah.
The people were urged to come before time and show Islamic unity and discipline on the occasion—(KNO)

Fasting During Ramadan Aids In Quitting Smoking, Say Doctors

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Smoking can have an adverse impact on health and smokers are at higher risk of developing lung cancer. But Ramadan is a hope for smokers to quit smoking as it can generate a will power among them, doctors said.
Dr Fayaz Ahmad Bhat Assistant Professor Department of General Medicine at SKIMS Soura said that besides having enormous health benefits, fasting is the best opportunity for smokers to quit cigarette smoking.
He said that diabetic patients, who wish to keep fast, must take special care as it is not advisable for them to take long food breaks and taking some frequent meals after certain durations helps in maintaining their blood glucose level smoothly.
“Diabetic patients must check blood sugar levels frequently during fasting. If someone feels symptoms of hypoglycaemia, an instant blood sugar test should be done to prevent any untoward complication, he added.
“Diabetic patients could have slow absorbing foods, which have low glycaemic index, before you begin the fast. These types of food keep your blood glucose level more stable and smooth during the course of the fast.” Dr Fayaz said.
He said that diabetic patients must avoid long brisk walks while they are fasting to avoid hypoglycemia and dehydration, however they can go for a walk once they break their fast in the evening.
He said that patients suffering from chronic diseases must consult their treating doctor before starting fasting as many decompensate heart liver and kidney disease patients have to take diuretic medicines leading to frequent urination which can lead to dehydration.
He said that the general population who are on fasting must stay hydrated, take enough proteins, eat fibre rich diet, and eat foods containing essential micronutrients like iron, calcium and vitamin B12.

Dr Irfan from GMC Srinagar said that Ramadan is the best opportunity for people to leave bad habits like smoking as fasting develops a sense of patience in the person.
Ramadan is an opportunity to make significant changes in one’s lifestyle and develop the resolve to make healthy living choices, he said.
“The diet should be simple and not differ too much from one’s normal everyday diet. It should contain foods from all the major food groups – like fruits and vegetables; bread, other cereals and potatoes; milk and meat; fish and dairy food alternatives; foods containing fat and foods containing sugar,” he added.
Overeating can not only harm the body, but it also interferes with a person’s spiritual growth during the month, he said. (KNO)

Israeli Police Raid Al-Aqsa Mosque, Dozens Injured

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: At least 14 Palestinians have been injured and hundreds arrested in an Israeli police raid on Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa mosque, triggering clashes in the West Bank, cross-border strikes in the Gaza Strip and fears of wider escalation over the holiday period, media reports said.
The Palestinian Red Crescent said 14 people sustained wounds from rubber-tipped bullets, beatings, teargas inhalation and stun grenades, and added that Israeli forces had prevented its medics from reaching the area. Firas al-Jibrini, a Palestinian lawyer, said police arrested about 500 people who were taken for questioning.
As per media reports, Israeli police said they moved in after “several law-breaking youths and masked agitators” brought fireworks, sticks and stones and barricaded themselves into the mosque. Police said the youths chanted violent slogans and locked the front doors.
The Temple Mount, located in occupied East Jerusalem and holy to both Jews and Muslims, is regularly the scene of violence. This year’s overlap of Ramadan and Passover, however, increases the possibility of friction as the city hosts an unusually large influx of pilgrims.
Al-Aqsa is the third-holiest site in Islam and is typically packed with worshippers during Ramadan.

People complain of overpriced mutton during Ramadan

[ad_1]
Srinagar, Apr 05: Amid the holy month of Ramadan, people have accused the Food, Civil Supplies and Consumers Affairs (FCSCA) department of failing to regulate the prices of mutton which they say is being sold at Rs 650-700 per kg against the government notified price of Rs 535.
People from various parts of Srinagar told the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that the mutton shopkeepers are openly selling it at exorbitant rates. They said there is the least inspection by the FCSCA department to check on “illegal profiteering”.
“This is the holy month and we are being fleeced by the mutton shopkeepers. The month of Ramadan witnesses extra consumption of mutton but they are making it difficult for us by selling it at Rs 650 and at some places Rs 700 per kg,” Touseef Ramzan, a Srinagar resident said.
“Mutton retailers are selling it at Rs 650 per kg, how is that okay when the government’s declared price is Rs 535? I often have to argue with the shopkeeper over the rate. Why is the concerned department not doing anything about it?” Touseef asked.
Jan Mohammad, another Srinagar resident, alleged that the department is soft on those who resort to illegal profiteering or overpricing. He said that in some areas, mutton is being sold at Rs 700 per kg.
“There should be a punishment to offenders on the basis of mutton quality grades. Imposing a mere fine won’t make any impact; the authorities should suspend their license,” he said.
“I have to buy mutton for a patient at home, who needs mutton soup on a daily basis, but the overcharged prices are making it difficult for us,” Jan added.
Similar reports were received from other districts of the valley where people have complained of overpricing of mutton by sellers.

Meanwhile, the Director of Food Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs Kashmir department, Dr Abdul Salaam Mir told KNO that he has given strict directions to his enforcement teams to seal the shops that are selling mutton beyond Rs 600 per kg.
“If there are rate violations, people can call us on the toll-free number 18001807106,” he said, adding that their department’s enforcement teams will intensify the inspection to check on the mutton rates and they will deal strictly with the offenders.

[ad_1]

He said that the amount for Sadaqat-ul-Fitr has been fixed after thorough consensus with the Ulema from Kashmir and Jammu regions. Talking to news agency Kashmir News Observer (KNO), Mufti Nasir-ul-Islam said that it is mandatory for every person to pay Sadaqat-ul-Fitr @Rs 65 this holy month.
“One organization Sautul-Awliya has announced Rs 70 in their individual capacity as Sadaqa-t-ul Fitr. If any person wants to pay Rs 70 or more than that, there is no harm as rewards will be more,” the Grand Mufti said.
He said Sadaqat-ul-Fitr has to be paid to downtrodden, poor, destitute, orphans, homeless and not to Masjids, Shrines, Khanqahas or any religious organisation. Mufti Nasir-ul Islam said that Fitr amount should reach to the deserving people ahead of Eid so that they too can celebrate the festival along with others.
He said the Fitr amount was fixed after consensus with the Ulema from Kashmir and Jammu region respectively that include head of Mutahida Majlis-e-Ulema (MMU) Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, patron of Darul Uloom Rahimiya Bandipora, Moulana Rehmatullah Qasimi, also from Darul Uloom Bandipora Mufti Nazir Ahmed Qasmi, Mufti Muzaffar, Mufti Abdur Raheem via Baramulla.

Quoting Hadith, he said: “Every Muslim is required to pay Sadaqt-ul-Fitr at the conclusion of the month of Ramadan as a token of thankfulness to Allah for having enabled him or her to observe the obligatory fast. Its purpose is: as a levy on the fasting person.
The fasting of the month of fasting person will be hanging between earth and heavens and it will not be raised up to the Divine Presence without paying the Fitr amount.” About Zakat, Mufti Nasir said that Zakat is payable at 2.5% of the wealth one possesses above the nisab. Nisab, which is equal to 85 grams of 24k gold, is the minimum amount of wealth one must have before they are liable to pay zakat.

[ad_1]
New Delhi: Delhi Police has denied permission to hold the ‘Shree Ram Bhagwan Pratima Yatra’ on the occasion of Ramnavamiand for praying at a park on Ramadan in the Jahangirpuri area, an official said on Tuesday.
On April 16, 2022, clashes broke out between two groups from different communities during a procession taken out to mark Hanuman Jayanti in the Jahangirpuri area. As many as eight police personnel and a civilian sustained injuries in the clashes.

Power Cuts Due To Load Shedding At Peak Hours In Ramadan: KPDCL

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Amid complaints of pesky power cuts during Sehri and Iftaar time from various parts of Kashmir, Kashmir Power Development Corporation Ltd (KPDCL) Monday said that the department was supplying record electricity during the fasting month and the cuts were the result of huge load shedding at peak hours.
Pertinently, the government had promised adequate electricity this Ramadan and issued directions to the department. However, consumers from different parts of the Valley continued to complain of erratic power supply during Sehri and Iftaar times.
The people from Srinagar and other districts of Kashmir said that the Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDCL) has failed to bring respite from the unscheduled power cuts to the people during the holy month of Ramadan.
The people are being pushed to the wall, especially at the peak times, Sehri and Iftaari, they said.
However, the locals rue the absence of the facility, saying that the people are being forced to reel under darkness at Sehri and Iftaar times.
The locals from Prang, Kangan, Akhal, Chattergul, Kachnabal, Najwan, Wayil, Prang, Barwalla Nunner and Main Town Ganderbal said they are getting electricity for merely 5 to 6 hours in a day.
Besides Srinagar, South Kashmir areas Pulwama, Shopian, Anantnag, Awantipora, Tral, Keller, Zainapora, Harmain, Pampore, Kakapora, Rajpora, Litter, Dooru, Pahalgam, Ashmuqam, Kokernag, Verinag, Bijbehara, Mattan, Seer and north Kashmir areas including Sopore, Baramulla, Lalpora, Tangmarg, Bandipora and many areas of district also witness the unscheduled power cuts at present.
Meanwhile, the consumers demanded the government to look into the matter and ensure that the adequate electricity is supplied to them especially during Sehri and Iftaar times.

Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDCL) Chief Engineer, Javaid Yousuf Dar, however, said that the department has supplied the highest ever electricity to the consumers on the first day of Ramadan at 1893 MWs.
“The demand usually remains high during the peak hours and we have been supplying best to our consumers. 1850 MWs are being supplied on a regular basis during the peak hours, but as the demand remains high, the curtailments have to be done,” he said.
He added that less curtailment is being ensured to supply better electricity to people. He, however, said that since people use electricity one time that is during Sehri by switching on all appliances, huge load shedding is witnessed in some areas which leads to power cuts. “The situation will improve by Eid,” he said.

Pakistan: SHO suspended for assaulting Hindus for eating during Ramadan

[ad_1]
New Delhi: A police officer in Pakistan’s Sindh was suspended after he tortured, harassed, manhandled and arrested Hindu shopkeepers for allegedly “violating the Ramadan Ordinance” by eating, Pakistan media reported.
In a video that went viral on social media, Kabil Bhayo, the SHO of Khanpur police station, was seen roaming the Ghotki district with a stick in his hand, using it to hit shopkeepers, including Hindu men, who were reportedly preparing biryani for delivery orders in the local market, Express Tribune reported.
“I swear that I belong to the Hindu community, and he is taking away food. We do not run the dining service indoors during Ramadan,” a man who was arrested by the police said.
However, the SHO publicly forced the Hindu restaurant owner to take an oath on his sacred book. The officer arrested more than one dozen people after physically assaulting them, Express Tribune reported.
After the video went viral, the Sindh Human Rights Commission (SHRC) took notice of it and wrote to the DIG of Sukkur and SSP of Ghotki to take action against the police officer.
“The act is a violation of fundamental rights of citizens regardless of their religion and beliefs and goes against Article 20 of the Constitution of Pakistan, which guarantees the freedom to profess and manage religious institutions,” a letter issued by the SHRC stated.
It added that the SHO’s behaviour was against the landmark judgment by former Chief Justice Tassaduq Hussain Jillani on minority rights, issued on June 19, 2014.
It is pertinent to note that the Ramadan Ordinance states that only people who are obligated to fast under the tenants of Islam are barred from eating, drinking and smoking in public places during fasting hours in the month of Ramadan, Express Tribune reported.
