I heard this Matam being done today Thought I would hear ya burhana ya burhana but crafty devils the Bhai sahibs !

Inna Lillah wa inna illayhee rajeoon for all dead people, but these poor souls will get no importance at all.

And true_bohra - If you don't get my question, you wont get my answer, either!

It seems that bohris will spend eid Milad un nabi weekend making rotis in the jamat Khana to earn aqa maula née khushee ! I fail to see the connection but that must be my lack of Iman !

What is the bohri fear around burial ? What is the kothar selling point about burial ? Is it that you won't get ru ku chitthi ? Why does Allah need a slip from the local Aamil ?!

Always wondered how bohri marsiya party could predict exactly which verses to quickly read in between the 'aaaahhh' and 'mumineen ni jamaat' . I mean the verse exactly matches what the aamil or BS has just said !! Marsiyas are spread over different notebooks etc , not indexed well so that means that...

There is an Urdu saying that "jab geedar ki maut aati hay tau woh shehr ka rukh karta hay" which roughly means that when the hyena is close to death, it will start moving towards the city. That is what the kotharis are doing : their end is near as they are making their ayyashi and shirk fi...

Did anyone else hear and do matam on 'Ya Dai' 'Ya Dai' ' Ya Dai' watching the "historic" video of the two syednas on Ashura . I can only pray that it was a nightmare . I know the mansoos called the syedna as hussain - so the day when we hear him being called Allah cannot be far away... We...

Is it just me noticing this or do some of our observations get more exaggerated every year ?! Hazrat Ali's wiladat is being celebrated for one day and the 'Urs Mubarak' of a dai for 3 days ? If this is not a cult where the 51st and 52nd Dais are being deified , given undue importance, I dont know wh...

This video may give you cause to reflect on the contributions of the Aga Khan community vs the Bohras. Unfortunately, some of my Bohra friends have a 'holier than thou' attitude as they compare bohra religious practices to Ismaili ones. I sincerely believe that our community is now a cult disguised...

Can someone please translate the Gujarati part above?

In any case, the original name of a child is announced with the whole azaan ritual. When a persons name is changed in adulthood, no such ceremony is done. I guess the janaab should be asked back 'kay azaan afzal chay ya tumhara maula no farman? ' Ofcourse Maula nu farman is afzal. The name is asked...

I am not sure what I like more - AZ's posts or others getting all hot and bothered about them !

why does Quran talk bout money ?

Quran talks about money to spread it openly to widows and orphans.

It also talks about money hoarders and what is going to happen to them later. Ask in the sabak what sura that is.
