Mangaluru, Jun 10: Shihab Chottur from Malapurum who has undertaken Haj pilgrimage by walk was welcomed by the people of the community in a grand manner at Talapady on Thursday June 9.

Shihab had planned to travel 8,640 kilometres by foot, to reach Mecca in nine months. Several people who gathered in Talapady, welcomed him.

On Thursday afternoon, Shihab had a health check-up in Hosangadi. He took rest and then continued his journey.

After performing Namaz in Beeri near Kotekar Masjid, the general public wished him best wishes for his long journey.

Several people thronged to welcome Shihab. People followed him from Talapady to Beeri. It was crowded making it difficult for Shihab to walk.

Shihab had planned to stay in Thaqwa Masjid in Pumpwell. But, as he could not reach the masjid on time, a huge crowd gathered around him during his walk. Hence, he had to stay in Hanafi Masjid in the night.

Dakshina Kannada District Muslim Union president K Ashraf, State Committee member KM Aboobakar Siddique Moontugoli and others welcomed him on the Karnataka-Kerala border.

    Haneef Dubai,it is not because lack of flights,but out of their vows so.Here too people are going to such voyage with foot march to Spain .This is called going on Jacobs way.They start here with foot march ,go walking ,.takes some days .They dont mind.It is mostly people who are stressed with work just before breakdown ,simply want to walk out ,make mind free .so thats the best way.On the way there are different hotels meant for this to sleep ,take rest .They carry a Jacob muschel ,a shell as symbol.A big church in Spain placed high on hill.way is difficult.Can also go with Train ,flight ,but way above has to manage to foot.

    General Motivation for all, who stop themselves from doing things from being less confident and motivated, whatever your good motive is, get ready and just go do it. Stop looking for excuses. Salute to this man, he is going for his dream task, where are you reader's going?

    Hope you are aware of the Bettale Seva in Soraba, Devadasi system in Belgaum, Made Snana in Subramanya, Tossing new borns for good health in Vijayapura etc. which forced Karnataka Government to bring a Bill against superstition..... Also when menstruating women were allowed by Court to enter Sabarimala, BJP Andh Bhakths made it a issue.... For Hindus all the above are matters of 'Faith'..... For others it is 'Superstition'..... Heights of blindness of an Andh Bhakth

    Please count how many you have wasted. For each step he walks he is rewarded. Ultimately what counts in the hereafter are the deeds.
