Announcement of Jalsa-e-Iftetah-e-Mehdavia Masjid, Bannur - 01 Dec 2019

Assalaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

AL HAMDU LILLAHI RABBIL AALAMEEN

Dear Brothers and Sisters
The Word of Allah, Qur'an States "The Mosques of Allah shall be visited and maintained by such as believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish regular prayers, and practice regular charity, and fear none(at all) except Allah. It is they who are expected to be on true guidance" (Surah At-Taubah 9:18).
The above Quranic saying signifies the importance of a Masjid (the house of Allah) regarding those pious and true believers who build, practice and maintain the mosques in the same way as they fear none but Allah. It means any participation in building a mosque leads to great rewards. Subhan Allah. In view of this, we are glad to share the good news about the completion of a new Mehdavia Masjid at Bannur.

Dear readers, we know that Bannur is the town of Mysore District  (Karnataka State), 25 km from Mysore, 25 km from Kirgaval and 60km from Channapatna. We also, know that there is a considerable population of the Mehdavia community resides in Bannur taluk. Unfortunately, there were certain incidents in the past to disturb the Mehdavia dynamics of Bannur and its Daira community. Currently, there are two big Masjids belonging to the Mehdavia community, properly-being maintained and under the control of Murshideen of Bannur and Anjuman-e-Mehdavia, Bannur.

Dear Brothers and Sisters - Due to an increase in population, we have seen a lot of Mehdavis residing in the old Daira moving to new areas of Bannur. As a result, the new colony has emerged on SRP Road, approximately one km away from old Daira, where the majority is the Mehdavia community. It becomes a religious obligation to safeguard our faith and creed. In order to secure the Mahdavi brethren from any external influence, a Masjid and presence of Murshid were necessary to counter any challenges. This was locally felt by Peer-o-Murshid, Qibla Syed Asghar Miyan Sahib Ishaqhi, who approached Farah Committee Emarat(FCE) by offering his own site(land) available in the same area. Murshid's plan was to build a Masjid and run under his Imamat and Irshadi. This proposal and plan were discussed and Farah Committee Emarat agreed to be a part of this prestigious project. Al Hamdu Lillah, FCE facilitated the required funds to complete the construction of Masjid (FI Sabi Lillah). Today a very beautiful structure of Masjid is ready to offer Salah. The Last Messenger of Allah, Prophet Mohammed (SAS) said ' Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a house like it in Paradise' (Jannat). (Sahih al-Bukhari: 439).

We feel proud and happy to host an event to inaugurate this beautiful house of Allah for Salah, Zikr and Dars-o-Tadrees. We pray this becomes a center of Ibadaat-e-Ilahi. This Auspicious arrangement has been arranged on 1st December 2019 for the opening of Masjid by Hazrat Peer o Murshid Allama Syed Meeranji Abid Khundmiri sahib Qibla. Jalsa-e-Iftitah has been arranged and Murshideen-e-Kiraam from Hyderabad, Channapatna, Kirgaval, Tamil Nadu and Bannur will witness and address this occasion.

A Detailed Program will be shared shortly. Also, a Live Telecast has been Planned on; www.mehdaviatimes.blogspot.com you may also subscribe to
