Dawoodi Bohra Forum

Talk of reconciliation every time through advertisements is a publicity staunt. All the time invitation for talk was given by Anjuman-e-Burhani (formed in 1975), a representative organization of Shia Dawoodi Bohra Jamat. There are Dawoodi Bohras, Sulymani Bohras, Alia Bohra etc. but there is no Bohr...

Boomerang Taste of their own madicine Our last two Dais, Syedna Taher Saifuddin and Syedna Mohammad Burhanuddin as Dai-ul-Mutlaque opted for absolute powers, though according to Fatemi Imams' instructions they were required to shun power and live in simplicity as pious, honest and men of character. ...

If Qaid Johar is declared Mazoon of Mufaddal then soon he will be declared "Deen no Dushman" and "Shaitan" by his own people as per Mufaddal's recent tradition.

To clarify reformists' stand on the present Succession controversy Press Conference by Central Board of Dawoodi Bohra Community Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin did not openly declare his successor in his long lifetime, therefore this Succession dispute was a foregone conclusion. His second son Mufaddal...

In the big fight right now there is no Dai.
There is no Farman-e-Aali.
Therefore no saheb-e-raza.
Namaz, Haj, Umra, Nikah, burial, majlis-e-Husain, let us carry on our work independently.

18 Bohras killed to make Syedna's Death a National News Syedna Mohammad Burhanuddin Saheb died at 8 a.m. on 17th January 2014. His death was announced via SMS. A rumour was spread that Syedna would be buried in the night itself and Bohras were called to have the last glimpse (Deedar) of the Syedna ...

Bohras at cross road Who would be the next Dai? Mazoon or Mufaddal As was expected, a rift has surfaced in the Dai's family between his Mazoon-e-Dawat, Sayedi Khuzema Qutbuddin Saheb and his second son, Mufaddal bhaisab. As during the life time of Sayedna Mohammad Burhanuddin Saheb failed to confer...

Dear true-bohra, I have already said that “those who had heard Mufaddal’s name, they had an impression of him as a ruffian and mischief-maker. He had No respect (Qadar) in the community because of his anti-social activities therefore after manipulating Nass in his favour, it became necessary for him...

I must thank Mufaddal Bhaisab that during his stay in Udaipur he kept his activities restricted to a distant area of Kharol. He came to Boharwadi once for Chehlam vaiz and four times for Ziyafat in the night. Perhaps this was part of his plan. He did not want clash between two groups while he is in ...

Mufaddal could not crack a single brick of Reformist fortress in Udaipur When Mufaddal Bhaisab went to Udaipur I was there to watch his activities. He had come there with a definite plan, fully determined to demolish the reformist fortress in Udaipur and thus establish his authority as future Dai. A...

It was expected that Mufaddal would learn from the mistakes that his father committed! They are worst than mafias because they torture innocent people to get a place vacant with which these innocent have no connection. Justice Nathwani Inquiry Commission made its report public in 1988. Findings of ...

Failed in crushing the Bohra reform movement, by violence Kothar tried to break it, especially in Udaipur, by tactical maneuvers. Syedna Burhanuddin Saheb went to Udaipur on 7th March 1998. He threw trap. First he allowed Bohra Youth members to visit Galiakot for Ziyarat so that his visit to Udaipur...

Asghar bhai was elder to me by two years and he was my childhood friend. He was working in Bombay Municipal Corporation as “Productivity Engineer’.

True Bohra has asked me: “You are master in bringing proofs and evidences. If kothar had issued order then you must be having a copy of it. Can you post it here??” Brother for your information initially late Syedna Saheb made mistake to send his farmans in writing. Several court cases were filed aga...

We stood firm against Syedna’s propaganda that the “Reformists are enemy of ‘Dawat’ and ‘Religion’. And because of their movement ‘Islam’ is in danger. Today Muslims in general have realized that it is Syedna whose practices are against Islam. Recently the Darul Uloom Deoband, internationally known ...

According to my sources looking a world-wide popularity of Asghar bhai even Kothar had issued order not to oppose his burial in any Bohra Kabrastan, but it was Asghar bhai’s will to burry him with his one time friends like, Jan Nisar Akhtar, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Kaifee Azmi etc., so he was buried in ...

Achievements of the reformist Bohras I remember the first address of Dr. Asghar Ali Engineer to Bohra reformists. As an eminent social activist he had said: 1. Stop fighting on your opponent ground. (We used to black-flag demonstrations on Syedna’s arrival etc.) Compel your opponent to come to your...

This has happen second time. Muffy Maula went to Galiakot and fled back the same day. Do any one knows the reason?
Qaid Johar has rushed to London and not come back.
What is going on?

Summarizing the entire episode of Nass one can conclude that:- Even among the blind followers the authenticity of Nass on Mufaddal bhai sahib is raising questions. And it is not without reason. After hectic celebration of his 100th birthday in India, Sayedna was taken to London. Why London? Was it a...
