This is the latest news, Sayedna is still in critical condition. He is being kept away from everyone. Not even the staffs at Safiie Hospital are allowed to know his condition. Khotars is keeping everything hush.

Since this is the money making month (ramzan) and the busiest in khotars calendar ...

Obviously it is in the best interest of Khotars to keep Sayedna going..going and going like the energizer bunny.

If the old man dies, I bet you it will be saqifa all over again.

(Note: Saqifa; a rendezvous for some well known individuals among the companions of the Holy Prophet saw the perfect ...

Anajmi is giving a good suggestion.

If your Zakat is not put to good use then it seems as if you never really implement this ordinance.

then as per the moon calculations it takes around 29.56 days for moon to complete a cycle. Based on this sometimes we have 29 days and sometimes 30 days. So how can we fix the days of a month in a year. There is a high probability that sometimes the month of ramzaan will be 29, so why do we fix it ...

Look at this
D3 On average, how many part-time or part-year employees did the charity employ in the fiscal period? 3800
D4 What was the total expenditure on compensation for part-time or part-year employees in the fiscal period? 3850

You are right on all accounts. It was started by the Fatimid. It was named after Al-Zahra (Prophet daughter). It was pretty much open to all faith.

Saladin (the butcher) when he conqured Egypt, slaughtered many Ismailis and Shias and force convert everyone to his brand of Islam - Sunnism.

You are forced to believe in the invisible mythical Imam Zaman Tayyeb.

Since he is conveniently invisible, the khotars can pretty much demand anything from us for his (Tayyeb) sake.

And without any form of accountability, you are crazy, stupid and naïve to think that the money is put to any ...

I agree with Al-Zulfiqar when he said you cannot use reason and scholarly arguments against Syedna worshipping Bohras cult.

I don’t know of any Bohras who has rescind the “cult” due to all the intellectual discussion we are having here and elsewhere.

The issue here is not that bohras are not ...

Najmi,

Ahmed means one who praises and Mohammed means one who has been praised.

There is not much different between these two names. Ahmed was a heavenly name but when the Prophet was born, he was named Muhammad.

The script points to the prononciation being "fansab"

I am not aware of the differences in the prononciation among bohras and non bohras. Curious though...

Look...go to google.com and type "dawoodi bohras"

What is the first site returned?? It is this site! The progressive dawoodi bohras.

We are pretty hot....

This is exactly the state of dawoodi bohras. The khotars lives like kings while ruling the community like Pharoahs.

Shudder to think of the plight of Bangalore when TUS arrives on 24th evening

It's demeaning & insulting to be hearded like cattles.

Ali is Asas-ul-Imamat (Foundation of Imamat) and not an Imam. First Imam for Bohras is Imam Hasan.

Good to see you guys.

I don’t know about others, but most of my knowledge and understanding about Ashura and event in Karbala came from non Bohras source.

Bohras Ashuras is just hype about the old man (Dai) and his overseas trip.

Just hope for the second place then.

This forum is a venue for dawoodi bohras to discuss issues important pertaining to our faith.

Hey Jinx,

Whats going on with you? Welcome back. Nice to see you again on the forum. Looks like you took a vacation from Dawoodi-bohras.com for couple of years.

Where you around with some other name on the forum or where you on (maternity) leave?

Anyways ...

Since this doesnt involve money, Khotar could care less.

Bohras do not subscribe to either the temporary marriage or misyar marriage. We follow the Sunni school of thought regarding marriages/nikahs. :p

Taher Saifuddin Mola was a real tyrant. He was into all type of brutality even killing. The current dai is slightly better than his dad in this regard. Burhanuddin only use excommunciation as a weapon to control/harm his oponent.

Historically, Bohras had about 24 Imams(approx) in egypt. But the woman(ruler of yemen) fabricated a story about the last Imam being 21st. The concept of hidden Imam of bohras originated from The 12ver Shia.

And how does this "Chitti" help the deceased ?

Cool...
This is not a new concept. We bohras have been blessed with this technology VIA Burhanuddin.

Khotars were doing a good business for previous Ashura. Perhaps they were going for a similar "stealler performance" before the old man dies.
