All of the rituals and Doas were already in traditional "old/Mota" Saifa, so why is there a need for another Saifa?

Aarif Aarif not only the Aka Maula... its really far far you are talking, just take a very small example of the smallest person is the Jannab who sits on the Gaddi, who is not a royal blood or any khotar related person, just from middle class or lower middle class family, but once he sits on the Ga...

thanks porus. that is high praise indeed..! I am quite frankly flattered that people like you would find my posts amusing and interesting. i see that you are a mwananchi .. although i am only a half baked one. i like your simile with 'manna from heaven'.. bohras are twice blessed. blessed to be bor...

Ummmm, the ziafat, by nature, is given by an individual who wants to give it (no compulsion). The individual makes what they want as a meal for Aqa Moula TUS. If the individual wants to make a grand meal, it's their issue. Sorry that's not true. I have personally known many incidents where rich boh...

Does Aqa Maula HIMSELF practice what he preaches??? E.g. in all his bayaans (which he delivers sitting on royal Taqht) he talks about the simplicity and compassion of ahle-bait and encourages all bohras to do the same. But after the bayaan is over he collects fat salaams from his followers, eats a ...

As per Bohra faith. Dai-ul Matlaq is sole owner of all the properties, even your soul as per the Misaq. That is why until he waqafs, it can not be used by Bohras. So if any functions that takes place within this property is considered as private matters. This is why they are not showing expense rep...

Are you pulling a fast one or you truly mean this? In any case, I don't think the poor will leave the community. They need the godmen more than the rich. The current arrangement actually works pretty fine: the rich buy their prestige and status and the poor their identity and the thin gruel of reli...

I said Aamil demanded salam of Rs 15000, and his Jamat coherts supported him.
I have no reason not to beleive my relatives.

aqs, the number of couples were few because people prefer go it alone on their own terms. With mass marriage functions not everything is in your control and some people don't like that. But following the success of this event, the families who did not participate regretted not doing so and have urg...

^ Majority dont have any problem and are infact very much happy by taking name from Syedna (tus) and and whoever has problem is very much free to keep the names of their choices, no one bothers. It is not entirely true. I have witnessed many instances where Shehzada saheb or Sayedan saheb has asked...

It seems the distributed initiatives of like minded individuals have brought results even if they are modest. 1. Rebellion in Canada against an Amil and reporting him to the authorities. 2. Proactive prevention in Australia (which covers New Zealand and Fiji) by delaying the appointment of an Amil....

I agree with Bro. Anjami

Thank you Insaf bhai for very informative post.
Could you or another knowledgable person on the board post about the events in Karbala starting from arrival of Muslim bin Aqueel to the time when the kafela went back to Shaam after shahadat of Imam Husain A.S.

This joke was funny the first time several months ago )

is abi tamim bs the amil of toronto? if yes how is faring there? from what i have seen and heard so far abi tamim bs is a mild, friendly and harmless personality, who is co-operative, helpful and has not antagonised or upset anyone uptil now. perhaps that confidence stems from him not having to pro...
