I Paid A Bribe......uncover the market prize of corruption.

Dear Brothers & Sisters in faith
As salaam Alaikum Rahmathullahi wa Barakatahu,

Janaagraha has initiated a new project called IpaidABribe.com to tackle corruption by harnessing the collective energy of citizens. You can report on the nature, number, pattern, types, location, frequency and values of actual corrupt acts on this website. Your reports will, perhaps for the first time, provide a snapshot of bribes occurring across your city.

They will use them to argue for improving governance systems and procedures, tightening law enforcement and regulation and thereby reduce the scope for corruption in obtaining services from the government.

They have invited all the fellow citizens to register any recent or old bribes you have paid. Please tell them if you resisted a demand for a bribe, or did not have to pay a bribe, because of a new procedure or an honest official who helped you.

They do not ask for your name or phone details, so feel free to report on the formats provided.

Honorable Justice Santosh Hegde (Lokayukta, Karnataka) talks about the need for citizens to speak up against corruption!....
Let us uncover the Market Prize of Corruption.

Mahdavia Jamia Masjid-e-Najiulla, Mysore is looking for financial help to purchase a property, adjacent to the existing masjid.

As salaam Alaikum Rahmathullahi Wa Barakatahu.

Dear Brothers ,

Mahdavia Jamia Masjid-e-Najiulla, Mysore is looking for financial help to purchase a property, adjacent to the existing masjid.

For this they require Rs.5.5 lacs of which they have to pay Rs.2 lacs by 2o th of Ramazaan. The Managing Committee is working hard to raise funds for this. And could able to collect Rs.120,000-00 so far.

We request Mehdavi brothers to come forward and help the Mahdavia Jamia Masjid-e-Najiullah.

Otherwise they cant register the land by 20th Ramazaan. It is critical because the existing Masjid which was built last year does not accommodate many people. for the Namaz-e-Lailatul Qadr.

If the Men occupy the Masjid then the Women and children have to offer namaz on the streets, that too in night.

If the Commitee pays Rs.2lacs by 2oth of Ramazan the owener of the land will allow the Masjid to occupy the land. Which will be sufficient as of now.

Please view the video of the Masjid here and come forward and do the needful.


The Commitee has come up with a plan of Mussallah/Janimaz, where you can contribute to buy one Massallah/Janimaz land for about Rs.2000/each. One can donate for as many Mussallahs as he can.

You can contact Janaab Syed Aslam, Secretary of the masjid on his cell 9739597153.

Ummul Momineen Hz. Khatijat-ul-Kubra Rz

Hazrath Khatijatul Kubra RZ was the first spouse and the best companion of Prophet Mohammed PBUH. She was the first person to believe in the Prophethood of Mohammed PBUH.

Hazrath Khatijatul Kubra was born to the most flourishing & popular merchant of Arabia, Khoovailid, 68 years before hijri. Khoovailid brought up her daughter with lots of love & care. She was given in marriage to a rich aristocrat, who did not survive for a long time. Even her father expired in a short while, and she continued to look after her father & husbands business.

Khadijah earned three titles: Ameerat-Quraish (Princess of Quraish) and al-Tahira (the Pure One), and Khadija Al-Kubra (Khadija the Great) and was said to have had an impeccable character.

Her renown for business dealings caused many highly respected Arabian men to seek her hand in marriage. However, by 585, Khadijah remained unmarried

Khadijah did not travel with her trade caravans; she relied on others to trade on her behalf, which she compensated with commissions. Prophet Mohammed PBUH used to travel with his uncle Abu Talib on business trips and had become popular for his honesty & integrity. When Hz Khatija heard about this young Him PBUH, she sent an offer to him through Khazimah ibn Hakim, to take her merchandise to other places and sell. Prophet Mohammed PBUH accepted the offer and started to market her merchandise in various places. In Basra He PBUH sold all her merchandise in Basra at twice the price and returned to Mecca with huge profits. Maisarah a servant of Hz Khatija who had accompanied Prophet Mohammed PBUH narrated the success stories to her. She was much impressed and pleased with his honest dealings, and decided to marry him. She sent the Matrimonial Proposal to his Uncle Abu Talib. She was 40 years old at this point of time.

Initially Abu Talib hesitated for this proposal, as Prophet Mohammed PBUH was just 25 years old. And 15 years younger than Hz Khatija. But due to Her Noble & Chaste character, he accepted the proposal and arranged the Marriage between Prophet Mohammed & Hz Khatija. Abu Talib, Muhammad's uncle, who delivered the marriage sermon.

When the first revelation came to Prophet Mohammed PBUH, He reached home in a disturbed state and called for his devoted wife. Seeing his condition she came running and covered him in a blanket. Prophet Mohammed described everything about the revelation at the cave-HIRA. Prophet Mohammed PBUH feared that his time has come, and was very much worried. Hz Khatija consoled Him and said “Please do not panic, Allah will not destroy you because you help the poor and the needy, assist those in tight corners, always speak truth and very hospitable”

She narrated this to her parental cousin, Waraqah ibn Nawfal, who was a pious & devoted Christian. He informed her that Muhammad has achieved prophethood soon after his vision of the angel, whose mention was made in the Sacred Books. He also said that he will be troubled by his own people and he would help Prophet Mohammed if he remain alive when such a time comes. Hearing this Khadijah did not hesitate to embrace Islam at all, trusting to her husband's teachings and his Prophethood.

Her soul departed on the 10th of Ramzan 619 AD. The year of her death is known as the Year of Sorrow, because of the devastation that it caused him and it was also the same year in which his uncle and guardian Abu Talib died. Her grave can be found in Jannatul Mualla in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Many scholars place the events of the Year of Sorrow in 619, prior to hijra.

Once during a meeting there was a reference to the sacred spouses of the Prophet. When the name of Hz Khatija mentioned, with tearful eyes the Prophet PBUH Commented “There is no comparison to Khatija, she acknowledge Me when everyone was rejecting me. She sacrificed all her assets for the cause of Allah and supported Islam”

Today is the Urs of Ummul Momineen Hz. Khatijat-ul-Kubra Rz.

Ramzan Day 4: Urs of Hazrath Bandagi Miran Syed Mehmood, Sani-e-Mehdi RZ Celebrated in Bangalore

Masha Allah there was a good turnout at the Sirsi Circle Jamaat Khana on the 3rd & 4th days of Mahe Ramzan.

People took part in Behr-e-Aam of Hazrath Bandagi Miran Syed Mehmood, Sani-e-Mehdi RZ Son and Khalifa-e-Awwal of Hazrat Imamuna Mehdi-e-Ma'ud AS on the 3rd day of Ramzan. 

KMMF (Karnataka Muslim Mehdavia Foundation) had organised Urs of Hazrath Bandagi Miran Syed Mehmood, Sani-e-Mehdi RZ on the 4th day, which was again a grand success with full participation.

Speaking on the occassion Mashayaq Syed Ashraf Roohi Khundmiri said that we Mehdavis should be thankfull to Allah that Hazrath Sani-e-Mehdi Rz Made Kasab a permissible before we renounce the world. And permited us to do Kasab. Otherwise Kasab would have become Haram on us as Tark-e-Dunya is Farz.

During the stay of Hazrat Imam Mahdi^AS at the city of Nahrvala, Hazrat Bandagi Miran Syed Mahmood^RZ asked the Imam^AS, "Miranji! a person is a seeker of Allah from his childhood and another person performs the Tark-e-Dunya after earning . What is the difference between these two persons?" The Imam^AS said, "There is great difference between them, like that between the earth and the sky!" The Imam^AS further said, "The person who earns a livelihood and gives up the wealth becomes entitled to more rewards than what he leaves when he gives up the world and becomes the seeker of Allah. And this is afzal .

After listening to the Imam^AS, Bandagi Miran Syed Mahmood^RZ sought the permission of the Imam^AS to earn . Granting the permission to earn, the Imam^AS said,"Har Ja Ke Bashad Ba Yaad-e-Quda Bashad" [You may go. Wherever you are, be in the remembrance of Allah]

Mashayaq Syed Ashraf Roohi Khundmiri  also narated a brief Seerat of Hz Sani-e-Mehdi during his speach. Insha Allah if possible I will try to upload the audio speach here later.

Mahe Ramzan Series- Day 3

-______________________________________________________________________

 Today all the Mehdavis across the globe celebrate 
the Behr-e-Aam of
Hazrath Bandagi Miran Syed Mehmood, Sani-e-Mehdi RZ 
Son and Khalifa-e-Awwal of Hazrat Imamuna Mehdi-e-Ma'ud AS

Date of demise: 04 Ramazan, 918H.

Place of demise : hilot Shareef; Radhanpur

How did Hazrat Bandagi Miran Syed Mahmood RZ got the title "Sani-e-Mehdi"?

Hazrat Imam Mahdi Mau'oodAS died in Farah Afghanistan. Hazrat Bandagi Miyan Shah Nizam RZ entered the grave at the funeral to set right things before interring the body. All of a sudden Hazrat Bandagi Miyan Syed Khundmir RZ saw that the hair of Hazrat Bandagi Miran Syed Mahmood RZ, that were black, had turned partly grey and the face of Hazrat Syed MahmoodRZ had become just like that of Hazrat Imam Mahdi Mau'ood AS. In a loud voice, Hazrat Bandagi Miyan Syed Khundmir RZ said, "Our Mahdi is standing among us. We have not buried the Mahdi AS." All those present, turned to Hazrat Bandagi Miran Syed Mahmood RZ and expressed similar sentiments. In this way, the title of Hazrat Syed MahmoodRZ became Sani-e-Mahdi RZ.

Behr-e-Aam:

All the dairas across the globe will celebrate his Behr-e-Aam.

After Namaz-e-Asr, and Murshid of the daira will distribute Faiz.

3 Taravees Concluded near Bismillahnagar Bangalore.

Masha Allah all the Mehdavis residing in Bismillahnagar, BTM layout, Tilaknagar, Basvangudi, Jayanagar and other places of Bangalore concluded 3 Travees at PLATINUM shadimahal in Jayanagar, Bangalore.

One may remember that last year Mufti ifteqar of Bismillah nagar had troubled Mehdavis to perfrom Namaz-e-Lailatul Qadr in Navrang Shadimahal of Bismillah nagar.

To avoid such troubles and to concentrate on ibadath, this time the arrangement was done for the 1st Taraveeh at Salaam centre,Tilak Nagar and 2nd & 3rd Taraveeh at PLTINUM Shadimahal, Jayanagar.

Syed Walishah Miyan of Bhadravati led the Taravees and he delivered brief & touching speaches followed by taraveeh.

Masha Allah the hall was full and people felt of having our own place to offer namaz & ibadat regularly without any disturbance As Early As Possible.

Karnataka Muslim Mehdavia Foundation had taken the responsiblity to arrange the halls.

I pray Allmighty Allah to help us arrange such a place where we dont get disturbed by the enemies of Mehdaviat. And help us do ibadath with Khushu-o-Khuzu. And keep us firm on the path of truth (Khatamain PBUH).
Aameen.
