Re: Dawoodi Bohras

Faith in Allah is omnipotent and panacea When Prophet Ibrahim (a.s.) was about to catapult into tower of fire, Almighty Allah asked angel Zibraeel to help his friend. Zibaeel did but Prophet Ibrahim (a.s.) declined his personal offer. Zibraeel offered help from Allah? Ibrahim (a.s.) declined. Zibra...

Re: Zulfiquar Hussain Passes Away.

Dear Mr Gulf...

Please look a the second post of this thread(which you have so proudly mentioned) little more carefully. Is this the way you have been taught to offer condolences?

May Zulfiquar Saheb's Soul be in Jawar E Rahmat of Allah subhanhu.

This may be because of more emphasis on materialistic world (more so in bigger cities) and family issues gets dr...

Mr Arif the sensible one..

A very thought provoking question you asked. What should be the " Plan of action"...

Plan 1: Do nothing, just sit and watch. Because nothing can be done.

Plan 2: Get up, protest and try to make the community better.

Choice is yours.....
