Information is taken from progressive's web-site: ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sir Adamjee Peerbhoy was, by the turn of the 20th century, one of India's largest cotton manufactur...

The head priest of the Dawoodi Bohra community, Syedna Burhanuddin, and some of his relatives have been accused of forging documents to usurp a prime property admeasuring 5,278 sq yards opposite Charni Road station. The property is worth over Rs 250 crore. The property, which belongs to the Sir Adam...

Post from Asghar Bhai Vasanwala Dear friends, Hindu Muslim riots are a common scourge in India. We have yet not recovered from Babri Masjid riots , Gujarat Train burning riots, and other 100s of small and big riots, and here is one more; this time in town of Dhulia, in Maharashtra. The riot began on...

Friends:

Please post your blogs relevant to the topic. We have no right to offend others beliefs. Refrain from spiting slurs on others as it is not going to serve any purpose rather than acrimony and intolerance.

This is not the first incident of its kind. Unfortunately we have not learned any lesson from these events. If all corrupt amils and their chamchas gets the same treatment at hands of us, this will be a step forward in the right direction to reform the system.

Bhai Husain: What ever is written in Sahifa is just compilation of history from various sources and so as quoted in various historical books. Ismail research center in London has done valauble research. Despite of having all resources at his disposal Syedna has done nothing in this regard except was...

Bhai Africawala0000: My first request is to be patient and do not use lanuage which does not suite to a person of your intelect. We are sharing our views without humilating others. As per bohrah and twelver's history Imam Ismail was burried in "Baqih" and his tomb was destroyed by Wahabbis...

So the conclusion can be drawn that Fatimid Imams graves disappeared because they never had support of the masses or in other words they ruled Egypt with tyranny. If this is the case than it proves how tomb of Imam Husain exists as of this date despite of the fact that it was completely destroyed an...

Our community celebrates “URS” of almost all previous DUWATs and some important personalities during their time. The birthday of present DAI & his father is also widely celebrated (or mourned) across Belaid Immania. Bohras also celebrate birthdays and death anniversaries of some early Imams 9per...

Bhai Hussain_KSA: Your opinion regarding covert operation of Ismaili Imams makes sense and I had the same feeling before posting this thread. But I still could not swallow the disappearance of their graves in Egypt despite the fact that they were in power. Can one attribute it to hatred of Egyptians...

Husain: Thanks for your input. I have seen the photographs of the tomb of Imam Hasan during Ottoman Turks rule. I did also get a chance to see the burial sites of Bibi Fatma and Imams (till Jafer Sadiq) at Baqih during performing Hajj. It would be significant to know about the exact burial sites of ...

Brothers:

Thanks for the input. No doubts that these burial places are listed in history books. I want to know that are there any evidence one can find like tomb,etc. and do people visit these place for ziarat? Perhaps time has completely eradicated the presence of these burial sites.

Can someone shed light about the burial places of our Imams (so-called) after Imam Jafer-us- Sadiq? I am not aware of any of burial sites from Imam Ismail bin Jafer till Imam Amir neither heard of pilgrimage to such place by savvy bohra grave worshipers.

Dark Night: Dawoodi Bohra way of divorce is different from how it is given by Sunni Muslims (I am not aware of Shia Muslim’s doctrine of divorce). For Sunnis it is as simple as to utter “Talaq” three times and divorce gets in effect. In our community a maximum time is given to both husband and wife ...

Br. MF: One can find many such fascinating stories which are totally basekess abd fabricated, rather insult to these personalities. However, I don’t agree with you that Bohrah worship them. They only request allah’s blessing through them. You may call it Biddah but to me it's their own way. Let them...

I don’t understand where one can draw the line between respect and worship. I failed to make any clear judgment on this issue to be honest. I don’t understand either what makes you feel that bohras worship Ahle Bait. No they don’t despite of all “Kharafats” introduced by present Syedna and his fathe...

It depends which way one wants to cut. To me Ali Baba and his chalees chors are tugs in the guesses of religion. Syedna is the self proclaimed demy god of our community. It is so unfortunate that these tugs cannot be hold accountable in court of law. Unfortunately, I don’t see any light even at the ...

Muslim First: This and many other such stories are all fabricated and nothing but bundle of lies to alleviate the stature of Ahle Bait, circulating around for centuries. But such fabricated stories are not limited Bohrahs & Twelvers, only. One can find ample such kind of fabricated stories in ot...

RAAZ: I failed to understand you hue and cry over this issue as indicated by other members across the board. You totaly forgot that those who visit such places are more responsible rather than only those who run such places. These are social evils prevails in all societies (or otherwise you pin poin...

Bhai Al Zulfiqar: You are absolutely right. There are ample examples like sheikh kalimuddin husseiny and sheikh yahyabhai. I do remember one Jamiah ustad from Karachi jamiah (Jamiah is also located in Barkat-e-Haidry). Shiekh Ghulam Husain met the same harsh treatment. I have seen how he was humilia...

Abbas Burhani is from same Mohallah (Barkat-e-Haidry, Karachi) where I lived from 1967 till 1992. His parents migrated from Burhanpur (He is first cousin to my sister-in-law). This guy inherited huge wealth from his father and as result does nothing rather bull shitting all around. I do not recall t...

Yousuf Bhai: Zakat is wajab on muslims and use of zakat in well define by Quran Majeed as explain by the other members across this board. Nashihat is just the reflection of indivdual's thought and can not be interpreted or used in liue of what is commanded by Almighty Allah. Please not that giving z...

humble_servant_us: Dawood has copied and pasted from articles written by Dr. Shabbir Ahmed. Following is the link: http://www.beacon2005.com/KARBALA.pdf Dr. Shabbir is trying to re-write the islamic history through intuition. Dr. Shabbir negates all events happened during and after Hazarat Ali's khi...

Thanks for your input Yousuf.

Bhai Yousuf: Thanks for your responses, (however, I found these answers very brief). When I asked about taxes I was referring to fitra, zakat etc. One more thing about the population, is it 200 or just a typo error, please clarify. Do you guys have any website? Br. MF: I appologize if heart your fee...

Welcome on Board Bhai Yousuf Topiwala. I am glad that members of this forum are from different sects of Dawoodi Bohra and Islam and educate people about their Tariqa and beliefs. We will appreciate if you let us know the following: • Where is the concentration of Attaba-e-Malik jamaat? • What is the...

Do we follow our religion in a way it is described in Quran and Sunnah in our daily life?

Can one interact socially with other communities by putting such pre-cursers?

Are the doors of “Toba” are not open?

I fail to understand fuss all about this food issue.

I appreciated Admin. decision.

It is very unfortunate to ban Danish. Admin., please consider to revoke your decision. Please note that freedom of expression is basic and fundamental human right. However, racial slurs and spiting poison against other relgions/regious personalities, etc. is not acceptable. I fail to understand that...

My prayers for Saifuddin Bhai's well being and speedy recovery.
