Dawoodi Bohra Forum

In Ghazva Khandak, it was an invitation (not raza) to confront Amr bin Abde marwat. which was accepted by Ali. This invitation was open to all, who ever accepts it. Ali did not play any major role in Ahad. Khyber fell down because of a genius battle plan by Prophet, and excellent execution by Ali.

GM I got another news today, but before posting i want to confirm it, the guy is in saify mahal, but still i doubt it. have you heard anything today on monday. Doctorine of raza is over manipulation by bohra religious administration to control and very smartly take credit of day to day event. in thi...

I totally agree with you. of late i have come to know of the same thing, i was told by a saify mahal resident about his state. I have said this in my posts some years ago, when he was not in such a state, but still I thought, that he should not be put to such straineous schedule at this advanced age...

it is an open secret that syedna sahib is not in his concious state of mind. I have learned it through a saify mahal source, according to him it is not a well kept secret. i am not posting it for any other purpose than just for academic discussion. this raises lot of questions in my mind. over the y...

GM but just because Rahul Gandhi did not mean what he was doing, or does he. we should not dismiss every change. If a change for better is happening, we should embrace it, be catalyst to it, so that it quickens the pace. Muffadal bhai saheb has initiated the tiffin or dabba scheme. i have called so ...

I was reading a news item in zen infosys http://www.zeninfosys.net/zi6/akhbar/huzurala/mumbai/16383 Syede Muffadal bhai saheb has travelled to mumbai via train. it is a welcome change. When Shahzadas are brandishing Gold Rolex watches, helicopters and private jets, Syedi saheb is adopting simplicity...

MF I agree with you 100%, but unfortunately wahabi mullahs do not agree with it.

I have used two words, "sarkash" and Baghawat, these are the two words mullahs are using.

Porus: I hope you do see this post early. there is a bill pending in pakistan's parliament about domestic violence, as there were many cases in which women were brutally treated, acid thrown on their face, killings of women in the name of honour, burning them alive for petty issues by husbands and t...

Bohraji, good post. Unfortunately this is not an isolated case. Poverty among bohras is rampant. In a tiny community like ours, we should be able to cater to the needs of less fortunate. But philathropy is non existent in our community right now. Jamat at every level discourages it. I have seen bohr...

GM it is kind of hillarious too. I still didn't get it. it is too puzzling. you have to describe it one by one on each line. How could a father in law be brother in law (jijaji is brother in law?). please break it down one relationship at one time so I can grasp it. Muffadal Bhaisaheb is sambdhi to ...

brother Adam you did not reply to human being' s previous post on accountability. we would very much like to have your views on that issue.

A very genuine question asked by Humane being, which will never be answered. we are not asking or challenging the religious authority. what is wrong or objectionable in providing accounts of sabeel. This is the only thing we are asking for. I think this forum is all about this kind of accountability...

Porus wrote "Porus = seeker, aware that every belief is a mere hypothesis begging rigorous examination. Belief can never be 'truth'" Adam would you please elobrate on it. I would like to add to it, "religion(s) do not and cannot stand the test of truthfulness". What is truth, acc...

Good job Admin, i would suggest why not put a ticker on home page, so that anyone visiting would automatically know. As for there are few members who post regularly, it is because most of the main stream bohras who visit this site are afraid to post, because their fear is so strong, that even anonym...

Brother MF how are you. keep smiling well you are right, i do concur there is no or very little need to do this in america or canada or england. and it is not practicable people live far and apart. and ozmujaheed has a point. there should not be forced participation. But having said it all, I do thi...

community Kitchen is a very good initiative. Syedi MUffadal Bhai saheb's initiative is commendable. It seems like a real welfare scheme. The good thing about it is, it helps and delivers without hurting anyone's self respect. Everyone subscribing is treated at par and gets the same food. Quality of ...

Actually on this forum there are some very informed and knowledgebale members, they are true dawoodi bohras, believe in fatimi dawat,. But they are not blindly dedicated followers of administration. there is a difference in following fatimi dawat and becoming blind follower of whatever is going on.

hussain bhai you are very right , they are from yamani family. Gm it is the same family. MR RB may be a blind dedicated follower. though his dedication is commendable. ironically our administration relies heavily on these blind dedication, who could not see even obvious signs. RB before positng , by...

Thankyou agains Sirs.
I better take the weekend off, I have some mistakes to make.

thankyou porus. I am still at loss to understand why does any one need infalibility. if people die and live the same way as humans do, then they are human. Humans are just inteligent species, who unlike other tend to walk straight and on two feet. Human are vulnerable to every and any thing. whoever...

you are right anajmi, Allah does not need our worship, it is us who need to pray to him for our own salvation. But i was talking about in terms of so called human caretakers and custodians of religion. This is the first time that caretakers are claiming ownership of religion. Even Prophet has never ...

Porus: pl elobrate in one of the post on this thread some one brought up the ownership of religion.he said that dai does not need followers, but followers need dai or haq na saheb. he went on to say, it is upon dai to accept some one's following. this is a totally new concept in religion. before com...

Excellent post Porus. Hussain bhai your contribution is admirable.

There is a headline news in Jang pakistan, http://jang.com.pk/jang/jan2012-daily/31-01-2012/main3.htm A man alleged to be a peer, arrested in 2009 was sentenced to death by session judge. It was interesting to note that he was putting forward the same arguments for sajda being allowed to humna being...

This is making mockery of the very religion that they so much emphasize on. This is not the first time he is doing it. It is pathetic, shameful and disgusting. And I am sure this will not be the last time. Bohras have become zombies, living dead. All those present should be ashamed too. They could a...

Yes, that is what should be. Encourage defiance and conncect them all. I would say, if some one stands up in any jamat he should be supported. They can suppress one person but if there are five more with him, they will think.

Humanebeing: You are doing perfectly right thing, to stand tall against any oppression is real bravery. If more of us would act like you and not succumb to their pressure, these guys (jamat ) will not be able to humilate anyone. You are also right about personal touch in every religion. Christians r...
