TAWHID AS THE BASIS OF SHARIATI'S THOUGHT The basis of Shariati's ideology is Tawhid (the oneness of God), a mystical-philosophical world-view that sees the universe as one living organism, imbued with self-consciousness and will. No matter what reality seems like to the observer, Tawhid states that...

Please Any update on this incident ?

Those who see absolute merit in calendar please explain how Islam would be a just religion? I have no objection to calendar but you have no right to ridicule the usefulness of moon sighting, unless you are well off bohra . Imagine It is 1912 ad in the middle of sahara desert, Mauritania a Muslim pea...

one channel is the Dawaat  Hadiya. there are other channel eg cash envelopes, random cash collections, Sabeel whichis local subscription, Ziafats, Najwas etc. the cash system is accounted informally. The explanation by kothar is b#%^%#t Niyaz is funded by local members as hosts and pay for the full ...

we are no one to decide or predict any thing(coz we really dont have access to truth and real facts) and assumptions has no place in ISLAM specially in shia ISLAM, if u are under misaaq it is your duty to accept office of dawat as it is, no need to ponder who and what whos doing, it is expected tha...

This happened some time back :- A MESSAGE TO ALL BOHRAS FROM THE JAMAT OF SEATTLE, USA. EVEN CHILDREN ARE NOT SPARED IN THEIR NEFAROUS DESIGNS OF EXTORTING MONEY....... GREED HAS NO LIMITS :- Like we have been doing every year, all Farzando can partake in the barakat of submitting wajebaat this yea...

Admin or anyone from Udaipur can you update what arrangements are being made to care for the victims and injured from both sides ? Is their medical help and trauma and shock counseling being provided by local authorities or the community. I think rather than only worrying about who is in jail or ba...

not this is not true, religion has every thing to do with how we looks and how we act in society, ever heard about nanga bawa's? they have left clothes, do u prefer to have looks like them? Allah says in quraan " Allah likes beauty" even in surah jumuaa Allah prescibes to wear clean and r...

needed advisors to help them coordinate

The storm clouds are building and bohri spring is in the making!

what do you think will it erupt like syria or turn off like in Iran

Lakshya Can you elaborate

Abdes must have realized that their orthos are visiting this site in droves to get news that their own sites censor hence the self praises.

I have noticed orthos are also advertising matrimonial stuff

Rookie Is your Amil and mansoos's son so sensitive that he can not tolerate verbal abuse, if for argument sake say someone made a remark...where is Udaipur ...in India a so called democratic nation where freedom of speech is accepted. How come you cannot accept any form of criticism . I ,ean look at...

SB I understand your anger but I was trying to give the benefit of doubt that if history was kept aside atleat the new Diai had an opportunity to demonstrate his leadership credentials by trying to calm the tensions...so the next few days are a test for him I know kothar reads these blogs and will n...

Asad thanks but The lakab are for internal use I doubt they appear on their passports
When reporting these crooks be mindful law and border security enforcement will want official names to trek them. Without that the above the names are needle in a haystack and will not be screened .

on top of the wajebaats extra money around $600 are collected by every mumineen family in the southern u.s. for niaz during all 30 days. Bro think, This doesnt ring a bell as loud as it should (especially for Indian abdes) as long as you dont spell out in Indian terms...... i.e. it should read as &...

Prices for recent ziyafats in London started at 11 thousand pounds plus about two thousand extra for bhai sahebs salaams and jaman. Some people negotiated this price down to about half price. Titles cost extra. There were at least 5 zyafats daily. This amount seems to be lower than what I thought i...

We should show solidarity with Sikhs in this event as the matter of fact its target was Muslims and they were mistaken. However the sikhs are victims and we should send our condolences. The point about dadhi and topi one has to be careful in whatever country where one does not foolishly impose their...

Shame , regardless of which side one is violence has to be denounced. If the reports are reliable and I have little doubts since there is photo evidence sincere orthodox participants on this site should condemn the hooliganism . I encourage that all parties ensure the perpetrators are taken and pena...

I meant how much does it cost to hold a ziafat.

Raza salaam ?
What meal menu should be made
Salaams ?

Then once you complete is getting a title guaranteed?

People must be seeing a return on investment for them to be so much demand?

H you criticize the individual but do not criticize the masses who did not support the few who rose when in the 70s rose in India and Africa . The few were humiliated and persecuted so a lesson was made. I do not see any difference if again people rose , they would be deserted. Over time the zadas h...

Is their official name

Eg Mr Qayadjohar Mohammed Taher?

The authorities do not have record of the names we call them by like they do not know who sayedi Qayad bhaisaheb is because this is our internal name.

The reason is at least the Mansoos goes and talks on his telecasts while Diai is paraded so they do some type of work, but the other 2 ie Mukasir and mazoon are just names we hear and never see any activity yet expect payment. Shame on them mafat, no kamani ! local Amil does more work then the 2 in ...

What is the current rate of a ziafat in uk ?

I will be grateful if any one have the official names of the above shazadas as they appear on their passports?

What does the mukasir and mazum really do to deserve Salam ?

Hanif My dependents overseas are old and have leaved 70 years as bohras they cannot leave as easily Y as we in our mid lives can. And as a secular activist I can not deny their democratic right to remain even if they are oppressed. As I have always said who ever want to remain they are free but do n...

Asad my concern before you get optimistic Many will talk the talk but not walk the walk...if you lead the charge you will notice only a few will participate ther rest will let you down and join the abdes, you will be surprised they will deceive you be the ones shouting lanat on you. You will be agai...

Adam if it keeps your mind at peace I gave my zakat to the needy as per Islamic majority understanding
I also give wajebat because my dependents want to be in the fold but. I Treat it as tax like sales tax I wish I had a choice of not enriching the mansoos's extended dependents .
