Re: Ismah- Is Dai al Mutlaq in Daur As Satr Infallible?
Reading some of the responses from AbdeYamani and Rashida so-called Behnsaheba one concludes that the choices between Kothari Mafia and Ustadi Borhas (a new term I am coining to describe chelas of Four Ustads thrown out of the Jamia) are that either accept tyranny from (a) Da'i and his family and Ko...

Re: Ismah- Is Dai al Mutlaq in Daur As Satr Infallible?
And yes you may claim that the translation can say AND, but then that would not be accurate. It has already been established that it is possible to disagree with those in authority. "And" is the translation which is most likely. Yes, I understand logically AND and OR are different! I mean...

Re: Ismah- Is Dai al Mutlaq in Daur As Satr Infallible?
My friend AbdeYamani. Thanks for clarifying your position. I understand you better now. The point you raised of an imam in the progeny of the Prophet is an interesting one. In theory. However, I hope you agree there is no manifest imam at present. Also, there is no need that just because you were bo...

Re: Ismah- Is Dai al Mutlaq in Daur As Satr Infallible?
Qur'an 4:59 is : O believers! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. Should you disagree on anything, then refer it to Allah and His Messenger, if you ˹truly˺ believe in Allah and the Last Day. This is the best and fairest resolution. I believe anajmi is referring to th...

Re: Origin of Tayyibi Da'wah after Seclusion of Fatimid Imam(as)
In his biography of his father, Ja'far bin Mansur al-Yaman says that in the absence of the Imam the dawa is established by three ranks: da'i mutlaq, ma'dhun al-mutlaq and ma'dhun al-mashur (i.e. the mukasir).

The origin of the dawaah in Yemen, which eventually led to the formation of the Tayyebi dawah is long and complex. It did not originate with the letter of Imam Aamir to M. Hurratul Maleka, but much, much before that. In fact, the original goal of the Imams, before they established the empire in Egyp...
