This is the 18 th Chekannoor Maulavi Memorial Speech conducted by noted freethinker and authour Ravichandran C at the Town Hall, Kozhikkodu, Kerala at 5.30 pm on 29.7.2011. Chekannoor was an Islamic reformer from north Kerala murdered by Islamic fanatics in 1993.Though the court sentenced the accused in the case later, it is widely held that the real sponsors of the crime are still at large. Chekannoor Maulavi stressed on the paramount importance of Quran and heavily criticised the undue importance given to the hadits(stories about Mohammed) and sirats(biographies of Mohammed) by contemporary Muslim community world over. He was disapproved of many rituals and practices by the Muslims as they are clearly against the content and spirit of Quran. Ravichandran hails chekannoor as a reformer who could have brought to Islamic community in Kerala with his progressive reformist ideas. He talks about Chekannoor's vision, courage and scholarship which remain unmatched for a Muslim scholar till date.
