Dawoodi Bohra Forum

Human kind is going through unprecedented times - what with man made and natural calamities. There is incredible suffering everyday everywhere. The Imam must be pretty cruel to watch from the sidelines. Can we please have him reveal himself immediately and apply the barm. By the same token: There i...

Accountability,

Thanks for posting web link and associated info.

you are very much entitled to your beliefs that does not change or affect mine in any way. If you consider yourself a Dawoodi Bohra then your beliefs must be grounded in the texts and traditions of that faith. You are not free to believe whatever you want. It is not a matter of me entitled to my be...

Humsafar wrote:...the Quran which says in several verses that the Prophet only miracle was the Quran.

Can u refer those several verses where Quran says Prophet only i.e. sole miracle was the Quran and nothing else?

Thanks Saif, your post was very informative and 100% true.

College Graduate: No, but is taawil needed here? It was because Adam disobeyed Allah and approached the forbidden tree. porus: That is too literal. The real reason and the taawil is that God gave him taste buds and stomach which he had not given to angels and jinns. God knew that after eating, Adam...

The hierarchy of Islam per DB: Mustakar Imam is the captain with his below 10 team members. As time demands, some or all of below are present in team: 1. Nabi 2. Vasi 3. Imam 4. Bab ul Abwab 5. Huzzat 6. Dai al Balagh 7. Dai al Zazeera 8. Dai al Mutlaq 9. Mazoon 10. Mukasir Mustakar Imam straight ch...

^ I had asked my Aamil when I was in good terms with him and he emphatically told me that DB's are NOT allowed Mutah. It is unacceptable. Aqs and others who have taken Sabaq can be in better position to second or refute my information. did he explain you why bohra dont belive in mutah? when imam Al...

So you are putting another human in between? Smart shia thinking. Not another human but super-human : this is the simple fact which Sunni's fail to understand. Super human = one who can speak with Allah and humans = Prophets. Ordinary humans = cannot speak with Allah nor does Allah speak with them....

anajmi wrote:Because humans are too stupid.

And that is the reason why human will always need vasila to reach Allah.

anajmi wrote:Mubarak,

You do not need to take vasila.

Why Allah never ever approached general humans directly i.e. without vasila?

anajmi wrote:That is the problem with the shia.

In other post Porus mentioned your neta Umar took vasila!

anajmi wrote:They have made Allah unapproachable without going through their human deities..

By that token humans are also unapproachable to Allah without going through in your parlance human deities.

anajmi wrote:Explanation of every bohra arkaan will somehow lead to Hazrat Ali and Imam Hussein. Never to Allah.

Because without vasila Allah cannot be approached like Allah approached human via vasila's and not directly.

Re: Janab Qutbuddin Azad I learnt from an honourable man that Janab Qutbuddin Azad was the first person in past four-five decade to openly and vociferously revolt against the tyranny of parasite Kothar. Janab Ismail bhai Attarwala once told me that this Qutbuddin Azad is from some place in Gujrat a...

then where is the dai mutlaq? it cant be possible dawat remain without a dai. If Dawat can remain without Nabi (Prophet Mohammed was last nabi) then why can't Dawat remain without Dai Mutlaq? Nabi is the superior rank and Dai-Mutlaq is among inferior rank. Rank of Dawat (equal to gates of heaven): ...

This site has an article on Ismaili Tawil by Dr Asgarali Engineer which is a good place to start. There are technical and fundamental errors in Dr. Engineer Asgar Ali writing. Moreover, Dr. Asgar Ali categorically wrote that amongst all Bohras is the most 'gumraha' sect!!! Thus, his version is not ...

did syedna taher saifuddin mentioned in his nas that syedna burhanuddin saheb will be dai e nizaam and not a dai e mutlaq? if not then how you came up with that conclusion? Taher Saifuddin is the Gangotri of Burhanuddin paap ki Ganaga. Indeed Chaman Aai is the kingpin of all bad affairs that are in...

BUT REALLY WHO IS THE bOHRA "VASILA' WHEN iMAM IS HIDDING All Prophets, their Vasi, and Imams from Aadam a.s. till date. Current Imam though in seclusion but he is present. AND A dAI IS RUNNING AFFAIRS FOR YOU AS A DICTATOR WORRIED ABOUT $$$$ ASPECT OF EMPIRE WITH NO REGARD FOR SPIRITUALITY .....

i have a healthy contempt for all religions. Except Bohras Shia The issues of reform movement have nothing to do with religion or even with shiism, it is about human rights and human dignity and I feel passionate about these issues and that's why I'm with the movement. You may not consider me a boh...

Mubarak bhai, pls do not feel threatened. Any belief that is rooted in truth cannot be weakened by anyone. Name-calling is another sign of your mullah-mentality, and I must say you've learned well from your guru - both his vast knowledge and his readiness to use invective. Peace. Humsafar sahib, I ...

. In principle I cannot agree with shia ideology. Khushwant Singh wrote a story titled ‘The V mark’. Main character of this story mark V on his forehead, feed and worship snake which dwells in his house garden so snake may not harm him and family. For years he served that snake and one day when he ...

well look if you go by this logic u are going against quraan coz quraan says"I(Allah) is much nearer to human beings then there own nerves" "i answer prayers when ever my worshiper calls for me" so Allah does answer prayers directly and he dont need intermediates to communicates...

Have Allah ever came on Earth by himself and claimed that I am Allah and believe in me as only true God, I’m one, not in trinity and all worships other than me are wrong? No. Have Allah ever since the Earth was born spoken with any general human being directly? No. All Islamic sects are in unison th...

Bhai Mubarak BhaiSaheb, Imam Jafar al Sadiq was not receiving wahi from Allah. The prophet (saw) who did receive wahi has not given any figure for the age of the earth. So we can safely say that the figure 64 bazillion gazillion years is not from Allah. Per Dawoodi Bohras faith, like Prophet receiv...
