Conference to commemorate Battle of Badr to be held in Markaz Knowledge City on April 7
The Badr Commemorative Conference will be held at Jamiul Futuh here at the Markaz Knowledge City, on April 7, to mark the anniversary of the Battle of Badr – one of the most significant events of Islamic history.
The conference will include a variety of programs starting after the Juma prayers on April 7, the 16th day of Ramadan. It will be conducted under the auspices of Grand Mufti of India Shaikh Abubakr Ahmad.
“The gathering, the largest of its kind in the world, will mark the anniversary of the Battle of Badr, a significant event in Islamic history. In the second year of the Hijra, during the month of Ramadan, a small and poorly armed Muslim force defeated a much larger and well-equipped army of Makkan pagans in a defensive battle at Badr, near Medina. The victory was both a historical milestone and a spiritual miracle, and it marked a turning point in the early history of Islam.” A press statement added.
“The programs include India's largest iftar gathering, recitation of the names of Badr warriors, hymns in praise of their relentless efforts, and repentance prayers at midnight. The highlight of the event will be the presentation of the Khizanathul Aasar, a chamber at Jamiul Futuh that houses sacred relics, including those of Prophet Muhammad. Shaikh Abubakr Ahmad will present this chamber to the common public on this day.
“The Badr Commemorative Congregation will serve as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the early Muslims and their unwavering faith in the face of persecution. It will also serve as a unifying force for the global Muslim community, who will come together to commemorate the historic event and honor the memory of the warriors who fought in it.” The press note further added.

Man dies by suicide in Hubballi, alleges harrassment by wife
Hubballi (Karnataka), Jan 27 (PTI): A 40-year-old man died by suicide at his home here allegedly due to harrasment by his wife, police said on Monday.
The incident occurred in Chamundeshwari Nagar on Sunday, they said.
Petaru Gollapalli, who worked in a private firm, left behind a suicide note alleging harrasment by his wife.
Preliminary inquiry has revealed that the couple got married two years ago and started living separately after three months of marriage following frequent quarrels. His wife has also filed for a divorce and demanded Rs 20 lakhs as an alimony.
Speaking to reporters, the victim's brother Eshayya said since it was Sunday, everybody had gone to church and when they returned home in the afternoon, he found his brother hanging.
In the suicide note, Petaru held his wife responsible for his death and said, “Daddy, I am sorry. My wife is killing me. She wants my death".
Seeking justice for his brother, Eshayya said Petaru was working at a private firm, but lost his job three months ago.
"We want justice for my brother. That woman (deceased's wife) should be arrested. No one should suffer the way my brother has suffered. Her elder brother had also beaten him and there is also a police report about it," he added.
Based on a complaint from the victim's brother, a case under section 108 (abetment to suicide) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita has been registered against his wife, police said, adding further investigation is underway.
Last month, a 34-year-old techie, Atul Subhash, died by suicide in Bengaluru following alleged harassment by his wife and her family.
