The Islamic Welfare Society in the coastal town of Bhatkal, on the shores of the Arabian Sea, has anchored the lives of lakhs of people within 40 years of its establishment. Registered under the Karnataka Societies Act, IWS provides interest-free Loans to people irrespective of religion, caste and creed. Around 15% of the beneficiaries are non-Muslims.
Loans worth around thirteen crore rupees were disbursed to more than 4800 marginalised persons last year for business, agriculture, education, house repair, medical treatment, marriage, etc. In the initial two months of the current financial year around 2200 people were provided with loans to the tune of 3 crore 42 lakhs.
During the tsunami of demonetization, the IWS rescued around 33 thousand people by offering loans amounting to 35 crores (2017-2019). Another disastrous wave of Covid-19 and the Lockdown gave a heavy blow to weaker sections. The IWS helped around 18 thousand badly-hit people, providing loans amounting to 31 crores (2019-2021).
Custodian, mentor
The Bhatkal Society acts as a custodian too. Various Masjids and NGOs keep their deposit for safety purposes with the Society.
The Society educates petty businessmen and small-time artisans to manage their funds. Pigmy deposit is an effective mode to promote saving habits. Society’s pigmy collectors procure around 1 lakh rupees daily to the needy at their door steps. With a pre and free consent of the depositors these funds are channelized as Interest Free Loans to needy persons. This brings spiritual solace to the depositors.
Systematic distribution of Zakat
The Society has got arrangements for collection and distribution of Zakath fund in an organized manner. Around 550 families of Bhatkal are benefitted through this Scheme. Deserving people in and around Bhatkal are provided with monthly pension of rupees 500, 300 and 200 per month out of the total sanctioned amount for the whole year. It is deposited in their accounts with the Society. The persons concerned withdraw the amount from their accounts as and when needed.
Monthly provision
Some philanthropists wish to help the poor with monthly provision, through the Society. Thirty poor families are provided with ration kits, costing rupees 1500, 1000 and 800. Some people deposit their Zakat amount along with a list of beneficiaries, concealing their identity with beneficiaries, and that amount is distributed accordingly.
Whereas many people deposit their Zakat amount in the Zakat Fund of the Society only and its distribution is left to the discretion of the Society.
Some others contribute particularly to medical needs of the poor. At an average five persons are benefited under this head every month. Even accident victims and people facing health emergencies are helped after confirmation from reliable sources.
Another utilization of our Zakat Fund is education. Poor students of Govt. schools in and around Bhatkal are provided with their essential needs. About 700 deserving students take advantage of this scheme annually. The Society is undertaking distribution of Zakat silently.
Public health is a very vast field in social work. The Society has recently started its work on public health front too, running a hospital under the name of Welfare Hospital. Frequent traveling of people to the nearby Mangalore city for minor health problems has come down to a good extent.

A phrase in Kannada “murthi chikkadaru keerti doddadu” meaning icon looks short but performance is enormous, goes well with M. Sadulla, a great personality of Islamic literature in Kannada.
One of the pioneers of the popular Kannada weekly Sanmarga published from 1978, Sadulla was its manager and publisher till he breathed his last on 22nd August 2022.
Around 5 feet tall, M. Sadulla was born in 1945 in the Kandak area of coastal city Mangalore. He was the third son of Abdul Jabbar Ibrahim and Mariyamma. He lost his father at a young age.
He had his primary education at Badriya Educational Institution and matriculation from Rosario Educational Institution with distinction.
Sadulla began his professional career as an Accountant. He was a student of Moulana Syed Yusuf, the Imam of Kachi Masjid in Bundar area. Under his guidance, he learnt Quranic studies, Islamic jurisprudence, Arabic, and Urdu.
In Kandaka area, his father Abdul Jabbar was popularly known as Ijjabaka; he was a great admirer of Syed Abul Ala Maududi, the founder of Jamaat-e-Islami. Ijjabaka was the first person to translate Fatiha, the first chapter of the Holy Quran from Urdu into Kannada. Sadulla resolved to follow in his father’s footsteps.
During that time, there was a noticeable lack of Islamic literature in Kannada. To fill this gap, Sadulla not only translated works from Urdu and Malayalam into simple Kannada but also contributed original articles. Unlike his peers, he did not take much interest in public debates or speeches. However, anyone met him personally was impressed with his simplicity, integrity and depth of knowledge in various fields.
He contributed significantly to the translation of the extensive Urdu commentary Tafhim-ul-Quran and Sahih Bukhari, and other hadith collections like Dari Deepa (Guiding Light). Two of his original works, Namaz Shafi’i Krama and Kannada Kaliyiri (Learn Kannada) are very popular and published multiple times. He translated around 30 works into Kannada. Dari Deepa, the hadith collection, has reached thousands of people, transforming many lives of Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
Sadulla was known for his simplicity, discipline, minimal talk, and high productivity, always wearing a gentle smile. His special qualities included excellent office management, patience, courage, generosity, and keeping calm even under pressure. He never let anything bother him and always remained content with what he had.
Despite being a profound scholar of the Quran and Hadith, he used to attend the Quran and Hadith classes of other scholars seriously, listening attentively.
Sadulla was very meticulous about the Quranic knowledge. Even when he was unwell, he would listen carefully as family members read it, correcting their mistakes if any. He couldn’t tolerate even minor mistakes in Quran recitation or references, and was keen on immediate corrections.
He was like a ready reckoner of the Quran. Anyone could call him to inquire about any issue related to the Quran, and he would promptly provide the answer, satisfactorily.

Jabbar Samo, a talented Yakshagana artiste from Uttara Kannada district, shared his experiences and motivations. He shed light on the significance of his performances in different aspects of life, both at the societal and personal levels. He also acknowledged the numerous individuals he considers his gurus and how they have influenced him.
He expressed how art flourishes without a specific reason and shared the dedication of Yakshagana artistes, who work without any external motivation. Despite facing difficulties as a member of the Muslim community, Jabbar Samo fearlessly pursued his passion. “Due to the prevailing circumstances, pursuing formal education was not possible, but I found solace in Kannada poems sung at the school, which fuelled my interest in the language,” he recalled.
Mohammed Kaleemulla, a retired teacher from Nagamangala taluk, dedicated his life to the preservation of historical temples, monoliths and hero stones in Mandya district. He explained the architectural aspects of these stones, their current conditions and the ongoing efforts to safeguard them with the support of Shri Kshetra Dharmasthala. “Many hero stones are being used for mundane purposes like drying clothes. I took it upon myself to inform the villagers and engage in the preservation work,” he said.
Syed Isaq narrated how he had built the library with zinc sheet roof at the corner of a playground in Rajivnagar and has been running it for the benefit of the public for 12 years. He also told the audience how the library was burnt down and his efforts to rebuild it.
“I have never been to school but my love for books gave wings to my dream of setting up a library. I built the library with 85 percent of books in Kannada and newspapers of various languages. My Kannada library is located in an area where there is a majority of the Urdu-speaking population and Kannada language must be propagated in areas like these,” he added.
