Dawoodi Bohra Forum

I would like to make an humble attempt to list the historical events that led to the tragic battle of Karbala and the Shahadat of Imam Hussain (A.S). I wish to clarify here that I don't want to get into un-necessary debates over rights and wrongs. If there are any factual errors in the details, I wo...

Kalu Innallaha Wa Inna Ileha Rajeun... I read this news and my heart cried - there are still tears in my eyes. What have we become really? In the Month of ALLAH, such incidents happen - how much desperation he would have had to take such a drastic step. May ALLAH give strength to his immediate famil...

Brother GM, Bravo! Amazing post. I am sure majority of the Bohras dont know this history. Knowing this will atleast sow a seed of interest in the minds of 'thinking' bohras. My suggestions are: a. The Admin can post this post of yours on the Home page. It is quite possible that this information gets...

Chill bro. I already know who this character peacekeeper is. It;s our friend of multiple ids. i can smell his posts from a mile away. he has this sick bent of mind which is so clearly on display here Brother zinger, Although i have tried to resist myself many times, i cannot stop myself from commen...

The mark of a leader is often reflected in the kind of followers he has. SKQ has been diligently moving forward presenting some proofs and atleast offering some better alternatives. And generally speaking the followers of the SKQ camp seem to be far better educated and rational thinking individuals....

I agree to what Bro Bohra Spring said...a partnership with Qutbi camp would be beneficial to both the parties and in my opinion is the rigth strategy that should be pursued.

DBL Bro - I am glad you are convinced now for the polling idea :-) Dear Admin - Do you think the polling option can be created on the website? The list of questions that should go in the poll can be brainstormed further in this thread - however purely from a feasibility perspective do you think it i...

Bro, the survey idea is good - but it's much simpler and easier to respond to this thread, don't you think? We are just as anonymous here as we would be on the survey.[/quote] Brother, The only advantage having a survey is that all the responses would be consolidated by the survey tool (or site, or...

Truth_Seeker, It would be a good idea to have a network of reformists and supporters who are in touch and can provide help, advice, literature and whatever else is needed. But my contention is, and I know it from experience, that the real change will come on the ground, at a local level. The initia...

Brother DBL, I have always felt from your posts that you do want reforms as well - it is just that you have been at times very vociferous in criticizing the existing Reformists group - so much so that people start thinking that you are here just to malign the reform movement and actually a Kothari s...

Brothers, Thanks for your responses. I think there has been some misunderstanding though. My original intention was to throw open the 'idea' of gathering the statistics of how many people are really willing to support the reform movement and what are their demographics etc through the list of questi...

Everybody fully appreciates that there has to be synergy between the camps - the question is... exactly what action are we going to synergise with? Outside of Udaipur, there is no real non-online action taking place that I can see - other than Apostasy of course lol! Okay, and why do you put the on...

Dear Forum Members, We all know our limitations of interacting over an online forum and our need to remain anonymous. Majority of the Dawoodi Bohra members here are still EJamaat card holders with their families/relatives under the strong grip of Kothar, and cannot go out in the open and declare reb...

Brother SBM, Thanks! I have been reading Bro S. Insaf's post regularly and I know that he used to be quite active earlier, and not able to post here on a regular basis now. In my opinion, he has done the best he could in his capacity by exposing many scams conducted by Kothar along with proofs, as m...

Brother DB-L, Let me clarify few things here: 1. As mentioned earlier, I am not a Reformist and hence I am not making any official statements on behalf of the Reformist group. So when I say that you should synergise with the Reformist movement, it is my personal opinion only and please dont treat th...

Bro DB-L, I reckon from your posts on the forum that you are not very happy with the way the reform movement is going. However it makes no sense at all just finger pointing and calling names to the forum members who dont necessarily align with your ideologies. By all means you can criticize ideas an...

Without going into why you contradicted yourself in the first place, let me try to respond pragmatically. How was Islam introduced to the world - through Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), a Messenger from ALLAH, who was a human like us, albeit a special one who was chosen by ALLAH. ALLAH could have very well...

But what happened in Karbala was that Hussain saved Islam by sacrificing himself.

Brother Anajmi,

Contradicting yourself, aren't you?

It looks like you guys have completely missed the point of Hussain's sacrifice. Wishing that he should come back to save Islam lays his sacrifice to waste. Let me explain. Consider this hypothetical scenario Hussain goes into Karbala with his followers. He massacres Yazid's army. He eventually, mar...

Would he still get himself and his family sacrificed? Remember, he didn't conquer Yazid. There are many muslims who are sacrificing their and their families lives on a daily basis. Why do you think Hussain's sacrifice would make a difference? Brother Anajmi, Honestly, and please be very honest here...

Phaili zamane mein yazidiyat phir se hai Islam ko aaj Hussain ki zarurat phir se hai Hai sar jhukata Insaan Insaan ke aage Hai loot raha ayyash garibon ko phir se hai KHUDA ka khauf kaha raha dilon mein Hai ban raha Insaan Mushrik phir se hai Islam ko aaj Hussain ki zarurat phir se hai KHUDA ke ghar...

abde**&^%$#, 1. i would sincerely appreciate if you can point out where i have used gaali-galoch in any of my posts. 2. is calling a criminal a 'criminal' unjustified and derogatory? if a man commits murder, what should we call him? if the whole world can see that a person or persons are living...

Sorry, but this message has no interest. Dangerous mixes. I do not agree with the Kothar policy but comparisons cited above are really absurd. I dont think the above comparisons are completely irrelevant. They do make a lot of sense, atleast to me. The only thing that separates the current Kothari ...

I have a suggestion which is worth giving a thought: This is really a good idea, thank you, We will create a sub Forum for this. Although many such topics have been discussed already in the "Borhas and Reform" forum, we can move them over. We would appreciate if anyone can identify such t...

I have a suggestion which is worth giving a thought: How about creating a section which has information on the Bohra literature, rituals, practices, etc - sort of an open forum where people can post their queries (limited to Bohra doctrine and beliefs) openly and get authentic replies and informatio...

^ Why do not you enlighten us about Akberbhoy Peerbhoy, I know Adamji Peerbhai but not Akberbhoy Peerbhoy Akbarji Ho ke Adamji Ho Naam badal lene se Insaan ki Kartoote thodi hi chipti hai. Shakespeare says na " What is there in Name " :wink: Looks like our friend has goofed up here. Dude ...

Salaam All, I need some help for a friend of mine who is moving to Frankfurt for some Official purpose along with his fanily. Just need to know if there are any Dawoodi Bohra Jamaat in Frankfurt or Munich (he has option to choose between Frankfurt and Munich, however more inclined towards Frankfurt)...
