Mangaluru: In a bid to create awareness regarding moral leadership and upgrading the teaching field, ulama's federation Sunni Jaiyayatul Ulama Karnataka will hold a Representatives Conference at Sagar Auditorium in Panemangaluru in the Bantwal taluk on November 10 at 9 am.
Addressing a press conference at the press club here, Sunni Jamiat ul Ulama secretary SP Hamza Sakhafi Bantwal said, some of the recent government statements and some of the judgments presented by the court, question religious freedom of the Muslims. These issues need to be addressed and the sentiments of the Muslim Community should be brought to the attention of the concerned people.
Discussions on the validity of the Triple Talaq and the Muslims' demand for Muslims are challenging the religious freedom of the Constitution of Muslims, while decisions regarding homosexuality and adultery are challenging to society's moral consciousness and family security.
"Ulamas, who are the religious preachers, must create awareness regarding such issues and they have the responsibility to protect the moral values. All these issues will be discussed in the Ulama Conference," he added.
"Thousands of zone representatives from various districts of Dakshina Kannada, and Udupi will attend the programme. The conference will be inaugurated by Sunni Jamiyat ul Ulama Secretary M. Abdul Hamid Musliyar Wani. Sunni Jamiyat ul Ulama President Khazi PM Ibrahim Musliyar Bekal and Koottambar Abdul Rahman Darimi will deliver religious talks. Sunni Coordination President PM Abbas Musliyar Manjanadi will preside over the program," he said.
Sunni Coordination Committee Secretary PP Ahmed Sakhafi Sakhafi Kashipatta, Sunmi Jamiyat ul Ulama member UK Yusuf Saadimath, Abu Sufyan H.I, Ibrahim Madani Bajpe and others were present.
