History
The history says that saint came to Ullal around 500 year ago from the holy city of Madinah in Saudi Arabia by floating across the sea on piece of chader or musalla. He camped at a small masjid in Melangadi area, which is the present juma masjid for Ullal, Permannur, Someshwar Kotekar and Jeppinamogeru villages. The Saint led a very pious and simple life. His simplicity and devotion of faith, love towards the poor attracted villagers. The villagers started visiting him because he used to solve their problems through his prayers and spiritual powers. Hearing of his miraculous healing people irrespective of caste and creed flocked to Ullal to have a glimpse and blessing of the saint. Later on the saint married a girl from a poor and respectable family.
