Re: Just for a change ?
the custom of eating in a thaal, is again closely linked with the practice of praying in a masjid rather than at home. the idea being to encourage intermingling, encourage brotherhood, reduce suspicion, enmity and distrust and make us all more socially responsible muslims. this was neccessary in a t...

Re: Are all Shia's barking up the wrong tree..??
dear br. shahu, in your reply you have posted several weblinks. thanks. i have tried browsing through them but could not find the specific answers that i am looking for. each weblink opens up into literally reams of pages, which to be honest i do not have the time, energy or patience to sift through...

Re: where is the ziarat of present syedna's mother? why no
Ok, I see that the impatience has grown to such an extent that now people have started thinking that maybe its all nonsense, a trivial issue etc! Let me assure my dear brothers that I was not deriving any perverse pleasure in prolonging the suspense. I was simply waiting to see what the reaction wou...

Re: where is the ziarat of present syedna's mother? why no
dear br.jp, i have already explained the reasons... let the baskerville hounds give their justifications first. it will be very interesting to see what, if any, convoluted story they can narrate about why there is no mention anywhere of the syedna's mother, i.e. taher saifuddin's wife. why the total...

Re: where is the ziarat of present syedna's mother? why no
Respected Br.Tahir, it seems that the hidden intent behind my question has not been understood. i am not clamouring for the busaheba's grave..far from it! i am challenging those ignorant fanatics, who claim to know everything concerning our bohras from the sabak's and crap dished out by the hordes w...

Re: Pune City Aamil: Priest or a businessman
BTW, talking of nasime sahar....if you recall, its founder - shk kalimuddin husseini, was himself dragged over the coals in connection with the 4 ustad's from the daras, who were murdered and discredited for daring to oppose the ex-sayedna. the publication being his primary source of bread and butte...

Re: Pune City Aamil: Priest or a businessman
"I am not from Pune but I used to subscribe to Nasim-e-Sahar for many years which is published from that city for last 80-90 years, I know for a fact that Abde ali bhaisaheb is the son of the previous amil Hatim bhaisaheb and not his son-in-law, Mohsin bhaisaheb is his son-in-law." Br. Ake...

where is the ziarat of present syedna's mother? why no
who is more important in a muslim's life..? the woman who brought him in the world, nurtured him, fed him, protected him, taught him values and made him/her a mature adult, under whose feet lies our jannat...; or his wife, who becomes his life partner in adulthood and bears his children, supports hi...

Re: Pune City Aamil: Priest or a businessman
your query is very valid. there are many disgruntled shehzadas who are not getting enough cut or equally. there is intense internal jockeying for power and money and those few bohras with close connections do get snippets of the dirty politics. but then they too are in bed with the robbers, so they ...

Are all Shia's barking up the wrong tree..??
we all agree on the character, personality, wisdom, and devotion of Moulana Ali, whom all muslims respect as a man of unimpeachable integrity and courage, as the vali, the vasih, the right hand man of the Prophet(pbuh) etc etc. then can someone pls explain: why after the demise of his wife fatema, w...

Re: Pune City Aamil: Priest or a businessman
just to add, isnt the fact that the use of words like 'sultan al bawahir' (or is it bawaasir?) and of his sons as 'shehzadas', and our self-degradation into 'abde-syedna' and 'amte-syedna', all this...what does it point to? our kothar is now modelled and has the same pretensions on the lines of the ...
