Dawoodi Bohra Forum

Guessing he is named after Mufaddal ibn UMAR, a companion of Imam Jafar as-Sadiq.

Absolutely

Black is sending your uncle laanat.
White is addressing your nephew as bhaisaheb.

Since then different dais - including those of Indian descent - have taken over. Here is a brief outline of the Dais and their lineage by porus. (By the way where is porus when we need the most?) http://dawoodi-bohras.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=7075&p=94833#p94833 According to this: http...

At least someone has a sense of humour.

Can't wait for the next round!

Someone should send that email to the shazadas. They might learn a thing or two

Newspapers, just shut up! :-

Boom!

Haven't read all posts on this topic other than the first one as there are too many and I presume few that are relevant, but thought I'd share my view very briefly, for those of you who wish to believe an imam is out there. Recognising the rightful imam has been at the heart of Shia mystique for ove...

1. Why do you have contact with reformists? Isn't that not allowed?
2. What's a grade 5 burn?

It sounds like you need the same ointment but for your mouth. Feel better.

Last night (Eve of 4th Rajab), on the Urs Mubarak of Syedna Nur Mohammed Nuruddin (RA), Huzurala (TUS) conferred Nass on Shz Ali Qadr Syedi Mufaddal Bs Saifuddin TUS. He addressed the Shahzada Sahebs and said “Bismillahir Rahmannir Rahim. Mein Dawat na rutba ma Bhai Mufaddal ne qaim karuchu, mara ba...

Confirmed on mumineen.org as well. Nass within the family i think is not really good news for reform movement, not alot will change, probably get worse. Reason to be pessimistic.

Porus,

Please return the board. The idiots, even though they hog the board, can and should just be ignored.

Danish: Verse 2:187 simply points out to fasting from sunrise to sunset. humble_servant: Time of roza starts with Fajr time and ends at Magrib If we go by the Quran both these statements are incorrect. As Porus stated, the Quran uses the word night (layl), not sunset (maghrib) for when the fast shou...

Sakeena, Good questions. The title of the 'dai' apparently means missionary but the mission appears to be restricted internally. I don't think anybody in their right mind would want to convert to Bohraism in its current form with its current obsession with Syedna. It would stand a better chance once...

It is unlikely Syedna prepares his own bayans - most likely his sons do it. Although since he reads them, to all his followers thats the holy grail. Regarding his amazing 'crisp voice' - the voice does not rapidly deteriorate with age. How many old people (non-smokers) do you know who have lost thei...

Alavi Bohras' website has their namaaz & wudhu (tahaarat) in Arabic and English translation and transliteration. See links on the right. It would be broadly similar to the Dawoodi Bohra namaaz.

pardesi,
Literally "day" is correct. However yawm in the Quran is interpreted as multiple earthly days e.g. 22/47 "Verily a Day in the sight of thy Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning".

worshipping Ali as God

Another typical Wahhabi response when he gets desperate.

Typical Wahhabi response. Lots of abuse and slander but no substance.

Hmm, maybe, according to Bukhari, a few of the 'honorable' companions were standing next to the Prophet and dutifully recording his actions while he was praying on his own. Then when the Prophet was done, they appointed one of their own and formed their own "jamaa" to finish the prayer.

You are the one that ran the last time we had a discussion Oh, aren't you a cry baby. Really? What "discussion" was that? Kindly remind me. By the way, don't be offended, I normally ignore you. I normally find you boring and repetitive, and I'll probably ignore you quite a lot. and stayed...

Anajmi,

Scroll up and read, I already answered you.

Anajmi, Again you're falling back on questioning intentions. For example, let's see, "Sunnis don't pray separately because are following the Prophet, they do it because they get tired easily and need to take breaks". Or, "Sunnis don't fast because they are following the Prophet, they ...

Here is my modified response (since clearly you are not MF): MF "Nephew", Great job of promoting "your uncle's brand" of Islam with your abusive language. Do you have anything useful to contribute to the discussion? Are you going to answer any questions on behalf of your coward p...

Apologies, I got you two mixed up. I assumed that since you both make the same spelling mistakes and are online at the same time, you must be the same person. Silly me. I'm sure if I ask the Admins for your IP addresses, they will confirm you are right.

Once again, apologies.

MF,

Not sure I follow. Can you elaborate? What "messenger" have I attacked?

MF, Great job of promoting Wahhabi Islam with your abusive language. Do you have anything useful to contribute to the discussion? Are you going to answer any questions on behalf of your coward pal?
