Dawoodi Bohra Forum

human, yes those things happen when its not done as per standards(hygeine n proper equipments),this can be a problem in remote areas but its not in most places which have decent medical facilities or profesional circumcisation centres(xcuse the spelling) inferility has nothng to do wit circumisatio...

id really like to know which side of the rope is charming rose.................... The way I see it, we are all dawoodi bohras. A minority of which are trying to fight the lies in the system whereas majority prefer to stay in the comfort zone. There are no sides of the rope, all are dawoodi bohras ...

are u a bohra?i guessed u told me u were abde once...circumsion is compulsory..............and its has medical benefits too... yes guy_sam, I'm a bohra and a circumcised one too, but I'm a male. I asked about females in my post. And if you want to talk science with me, I'll happily go on a discussi...

liking someone's posts is a personal choice..or is it jealousy that ur name aint mentioned.......... guy_sam, Smart has given you a fitting reply. It makes me laugh how you think about jealousy. If someone mentions my name on a forum where most of the people are hiding their true identity, should I...

^ You hit the nail on the head, mumin. All the wealth these people amass is not used for any good cause. They should be using it for supporting the starving population, supporting orphans, supporting struggling families, kids with deadly diseases etc. There are so many humanity causes the money coul...

Br.Aqs If you ask an ordinary Bohra why he is in Jamaat, majority will answer that they are there and suffering the wrath of the aamil because they want to make sure they Children get married and if some one dies in their family, they get proper burial..... Well said Oma. Doesn't matter if the dawo...

and generally people are not stopped to do functions due to unpayement of dues when its for Mayyat jamans Now you are very much free to do funtions at any other common place and enjoy who is asking you to take raza, so basically raza is involved only when we have to use our dawat maintained facilit...

even Raza is not mandated by Deen but as depicted in History that people used to ask Prophet(saw) and Imams(as) for important matters so the tradition is their and people follow it. aqs, If you are correct about this then maybe people used to ask Prophet and Imams because the religion was new and p...

I've had this confusion for quite a while now where in India, bohris use 'z', sunnis use 'j' and overseas people use 'd' in certain words. Examples are: Ramazan/Ramajan/Ramadan Qarz-e-hasanah/Qard-e-hasanah There are many other examples but I can only re-collect two for now. Basically I'm not sure w...

Smart, I guess the pope only apologised and met the victims in Malta personally because theres pressure on him about getting arrested in London and all that. He wouldn't have done it if there was no pressure. And moula will not do it unless there's enough pressure. All (convincing majority) the lead...

^ Porus is a quran and islamic scholar, so his posts are always informative and good. However if you liked Hades' posts, its time you visited a psychiatrist! His input was nothing but rubbish and senseless arguements. I hope you'd have better inputs or arguements (if you're an orthodox abde) than Ha...

^ Not sure about the translation from quran. But overall, I second your views. Taking an example of Mr. A who can't afford hajj or karbala visit is now being selected to go there and will be provided with qarz-e-hasanah. His wife has to now deposit her wedding gold jewellery with the jamaat and they...

Thanks Saif.
I hope the criminals behind this and the ones involved in organising this meet their fate.

From reading aqs' posts it is becoming clear to me that Syedna worship is simply a personal preference and not something that is suggested in religious books. There are no books that say that deedar of Syedna is the same as deedar of the Kaaba or kissing his feet is like kissing Hajre Aswad. These ...

Inna lillahe wa inna illayhi raajeoon
Very shocking to hear, I hope Allah will bless with enough strength and sabar.
Saif, as you visited the crime scene, can you comment if it was an organised thing or was it just a mugging/vilence incident?

^ Not uncommon at all. There are also cases, when you do a salaam to aamil, the chamcha sitting next collecting covers, will open the cover and see how much money's in there. If its anywhere below the threshold or below what that particular person is expected to do, the cover is given back to hm and...

Never heard about this before, and definitely looks some mischievous Email doing the rounds to just make fun of Bohra's. And whenever Kothar wants to circulate something it comes from either Malumaat or other such sites and not emails and sms. Weren't you the one to mention before that Malumaat, ze...

^
Reading about the glorious number of 52 above makes me wonder if 53 will become the next glorious number after this dai! Then the salaams would be 253, 553, 753 etc. Pain for the abdes putting coins in the evelopes

^ Jungle999, that is just your jamaat. With other aamils, if you skip the salaam to his son, its like you'll commit a big sin. The aamil will give a big eyed stare to his chamchas and the chamchas will ask you to do salaam to the son. And if you refused, you'll be humiliated and the aamil will be yo...

^ This is the story of every town, every city my friend. 'Kagda badhej kala hoy' 'Crows are black everywhere' in europe crows are white................ guy_sam, i just used a 'kehvat'. If you want to take things so literally, then we should get into a science debate on some other science forum. For...

Thanks Hozefa for the articles and thank you Mr. Insaf for posting those images as well. I'm pretty sure there will be now a deafening silence on this thread as no abdes will post anything here.

'Crows are black everywhere'

aqs and Smart, Sorry to jump in the discussion, but I'd like to give my own example regarding this. I found this website and then became a regular visitor because it gave me freedom of speech. I had grudges against all the changes being forced in our community and things with no sense or logic being...

^ Damn! I was hoping to see moula's pic there as I scrolled through the 10. Also, as in the above article by Mr. Baloach in Mr. Insaf's post, is it a fact that like bohri boys are circumcised, bohri girls have to get rid of their clitoris? Just curious as to if it is a practice only in Karachi or ev...

As weird as it may sound, but I'm going to agree with Hades on this one. The state of women in islamic countries is pathetic and its an un-deniable fact.

^ Yes similar things also happen elsewhere. Aamil's sons expect a salaam with taslim even from elders. Also the behensaheb in certain cases are even worse in their behaviour than the aamil himself. They give taunts to the women in a women majlis on certain occasions and still demand utmost respect w...

Good to see anajmi and FB agree on something atleast!

A bit of analysis on the this topic: As aqs mentioned, no other bohri websites give any religious knowledge or 'ilm'. We are expected to attend sabaks. Not too sure, but has this to do with making the younger generation depend on people and not on websites or forums where they have the freedom of sp...

Does anyone have the above article?

Why do you anti (so called reformist) just label us as foolish when you don't have an answer? This shows who the real fool is. At one hand you guys say not to change the topic of the thread (when in the first place it was an anti who changed the topic) then you put your brains to some brilliant thi...
