Dawoodi Bohra Forum

Thanks JawanMardan for the info, though i think the monies should not go to Imam, atleast the jakaat amount. I have heard that there are few factions which have been separated from khoja community and are known as isna asjaari jamaat and sunni khojas. Could you please enlighten me regarding this???

Biggest Miracle....

Making more than 1 million educated people fool.....

Heard that BBBC r planning to organize some "Burhani Expo 2007" on 25-26-27 july.
and syedana saheb is planning to "grace" the expo on 25th. No wonder if it starts with purjosh matam.......

JawanMardan,

forgive my ignorance but plz tell who collects the zakat monies from ismaili ummah....

and are there any more taxes like haqqun nafs,fitra and what nots....

I agree to your point likeminded...... To make the matter worse, its been said that there wouldn't be any further communication from almighty, since Prophet muhammed was declared to be the last prophet. There shant be any more messages from god. Why is it so, why would god do so. Why he would not ke...

The scripture doesnt say anything about a woman being imprisoned in the house for 4 month and 10 days. It only specifies the length of time during which a widowed female can't remarry.

Keeping a woman in closed quarters is a really barbaric act and not justified by any means.

Originally posted by truebohra: LM ur running the hate campaign. Progs are Hate mongors. U people abuse Sayyedna (T.U.S). At least respect his position. Its the offical stand of Progs that Sayyedna (T.U.S) is the naib of immam-u-zaman (A.S) (correct me if i m wrong). Ur abusing the naib of Imam (A....

I fully agree with you Makberi and AlZulfiqar that there are lot of reformists in closet. Thier reasons are justified enough, social stigma attached makes it very difficult for them to come out in open. But would it not worth coming out for the benefit of whole society?? I guess, things are now not ...

I have seen this on net and thought of sharing this with you....

Bohra sect "sent members to death in Iraq"
Do read the comments too.....

Profrog,

Which books you have read,or forget about reading, even heard of, so that you claim yourself to be the most devoted. Or is it a thorough brainwashing by kothar suffice to be a so-called-devotee of dawat.

Its a simple calculation, keep sinning and then ask for Barkaat, of course it costs you....

Dear Like minded.... lets not start blaming each other that who starts it and who comes to what. The bottomline remains that such foul language and calling each other names is not going to help us anyways, nor does it take us any where. If orthos(as u put them) come to mudslinging, let them do, or m...

exactly my thoughts like minded....

unfortunately it has become a trend in all faith tht they have turned into mean of person glorification and epitomizing the person rather than faith itself.

I have noticed that every one of us on the borad keep on digressing from the topic and come to mudslinging on each other, no matter who starts it. I mean, we all are grown up individuals and we dont need to condescend to this level. We can atleast be civil in the way we speak and debate and argue on...

this one is dedicated to likes of Professor Pro_pigs, gulfs...

Professor Pro_pig We dont hate matam of imam hussain.... and just beating you chest for hours doesnt mean matam. We hate the mockery of matam, which is being used by bohra clerics to dissuade gullible populace from reality. Shabirbhai... numbers may be small, but the beleif has increased to a great ...

Dear Insaaf saheb, I have read the book, its a intresting one. Though author has taken a pro-syedana stand, but still i think its worth a read. Beside he has dedicated a whole chapter on dissidents. I guess he could not have conducted the study with out the permission and assistance from kothar auth...

I have a question...

Since suleimani, alavi and dawoodi bohras are all originated from same descendents, Who controls shrine of common Dais. For example, Syedana Zoeb, the first dai. Is it not a bone of contention among the supremos of diff bohra sects.....

Humsafar Nicely put. Fiction, myth and miracle are part of all relegions. then why make mockery of other relegions/faiths. Somehow i feel that more devoted ppl has become less tolerant about other's faith. No one denies their rightto profess and propogate thier ideas, but to mock and reject other's ...

Thats difference between you and me, you choose to disalign from the system, i choose to remain in the system. You have already declared that we will fail and i keep on fighting...

MF
I read the ayah u have quoted, it does not stop us from reforming the system.. does it.....

No it is not easy to get out, many a times it has been said on this very board how difficult the kothar makes it to get out. All the best to the reformists, but how are you going to win over the Satan, many have failed,he is still here and shall always.Allah's will. Only way to disassociate from th...

Br. Bohraji AS When person is exposed to fraud of Bohras, he looks for spiritual guidance somewhere else. Good for them and good luck to them. Dear MF, Such persons try to find a easier way out, and seek the guidance from some one else. Instead, they could decide to stay on, try and purge the syste...

Dear bohraji... Last i have heard of Taizoon BS, that he has shifted(hastily because of the zahit batin controversy) to Canada, or was it US..... As for Vladimir Ivanov, i could find this much...

here is information about hebtiah bohra Hibtia Schism During the Ujjaini period the dawat suffered another schism, this one less disruptive than those of the past. In 1171/1761 Syedna Hibtullah was challenged by a young shaikh who 38 (coincidentally) bore the same name. Shaikh Hibtullah claimed that...
