Can someone inform LeakyCondom aka UniversalDad that Muffy has the wrong number

[JC]

Muffy wants to show his power and popularity ............. plus this will bring them good amount of cash.

And they do not worry about any bomb or anything ........... when Dai calls, you surrender, totally. And if God forbid any thing happens and people die, the sole beneficiary would be Muffy, so why would he care about security?? If Muffy can get international coverage and sympathy for free on the dead bodies on his 'beloved mumineen children', WHY NOT

Can someone inform LeakyCondom aka UniversalDad that Muffy has the wrong number

The question is to the Khozemites as to where KQ and his leaky condom mistakes will be on the day of Urs. Where will his Khozemites be? for them the Urs is just a show of crocodile tears for as they had and continue to have hated SMB RA.

meanwhile I am enjoying the day to day demise of the KQ Toli and their desperation.

[qutub_mamajiwala]

bro universaldad,
ur enjoying urs mubarak too as a day of celeberation? right?

[JC]

UniversalDad,

I simply do not understand your logic ............. for 50 years you and people like you did not see anything wrong with KQ, now suddenly since he has 'claimed' Daiship you see trillions of flaws in him, how come?? Today you even cannot hear him and make fun of it ............ till a year back you were not even able to speak a word..!!!

EVERYONE has to die ........ so it is good you all are CELEBRATING the URS MUBARAK of MB ...............

Huzurala TUS Visits Hakimi Masjid - AJMAN

29th Safar, 1436
Location: AJ, United Arab Emirates, Hakimi Masjid

[ghulam muhammed]

The subject media report has been posted on another thread but I think its important to highlight the same on this thread which is relevant to the issues :-

Battle for Bohra spiritual head’s seat splits families

Within the community, news about who is on which side travels fast and so does retribution.

The demise of Syedna Muhammed Burhanuddin, which ranged his son and brother against each other with rival claims to his legacy, has now split through the middle several families across the community.

Marriages are being called off, divorces are taking place, and brothers are turning against each other as the community stands divided between those who support the son Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin and those favouring the brother Khuzaima Qutubuddin.

While Mufaddal took over as the 53rd Syedna soon after his father death, his claim has been disputed by Khuzaima, the late Syedna's brother and deputy of 49 years. The fight has now landed in a court of law.

A Marol-based Dawoodi Bohra businessman, who had sworn his allegiance to Khuzaima, had to call off his wedding at the last moment after the local aamil or maulvi, a Mufaddal follower, refused to perform the nikah. The aamil did not budge despite the 27-year-old man and his father's repeated requests and the family eventually cancelled all the ceremonies which were to be attended by over 450 guests.

The aamil, Aliasger Nomani, was ready to solemnise the wedding if the family met his one condition - seek forgiveness of Mufaddal Saifuddin and express their loyalty to him. The family chose to let the wedding plans collapse. It later turned out that a younger brother of the businessman, a follower of Mufaddal, had leaked the information of the family's allegiance to Khuzaima.

After the wedding was cancelled, the girl's family came under immense pressure from the aamil and they eventually called of the match.

When Mumbai Mirror contacted Nomani, he accepted that he refused to perform the nikah. "They can approach someone else to perform the nikah," he said, refusing to comment further.

Within the close-knit community, news about who is on which side travels fast and so does retribution. A 28-year-old doctor from Panvel, who got married in May 2013, was divorced just months after she and her family sided with Khuzaima. "In the Bohra community, the girl is sent to the husband's house within a year of the nikah. In this case, the nikah was performed in May last year and the bidaai ritual was scheduled for February this year. But after the Syedna's demise in January, the girl and her family became Khuzaima's followers and that eventually led to a divorce in August," said a relative of the girl.

A 25-year-old woman was forced to separate from her husband because of her decision to accept Khuzaima as her spiritual leader. "It was a happy family - a loving husband and caring in-laws. But it all fell apart once she swore allegiance to Khuzaima. Jamaat members tried to change her mind. But when she stuck to her stand, she was asked to return to her parents' house. The girl now resides with her parents in Bandra, said a relative, adding that it was upsetting to see a happy family break apart.

The fight between the two factions has become so bitter that rivals are being denied access to masjids and burial sites. The family of a 97-year-old man, who was perceived to be a follower of Khuzaima, was not allowed to bury him at the Bohra cemetery at Charni Road. The man was eventually buried in Mumbra. The family said his health had deteriorated rapidly after being denied entry to the Bohra masjid at Bhendi Bazaar in August. "He died ten days after he was prevented from praying at the Bhendi Bazaar masjid," said a relative. His son is now in the process of writing to the State Human Rights Commission and the Mumbai Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria.

Mufaddal's media associate Qureish Raghib did not reply to an email and text messages sent by Mumbai Mirror.

Khuzaima's son Aziz said it's unfortunate that Shehzada Mufaddal Saifuddin and his representatives are resorting to threats and social pressure to maintain their control over the community, "It is sad that a joyous occasion such as a marriage is used to apply this kind of pressure. We pray that the community is united once more and that this turmoil comes to an end," he said.

In the past it was always the case of the Bohra women compelling their husbands to follow kothar's diktats due to which the husband mostly surrendered to his wife's wishes but the present trend seems to be the reverse of what we have witnessed in the past, it is now the women who are taking the bold step and revolting against the menfolk. It seems that Muffy's talibanic fatwas to the women have boomeranged and women seem to be in the forefront of the current revolution, kudos to them and also to the few on this forum who have shown the courage to put their foot down and not succumb to Muffy's pressures !!

[Abuzer]

I don't know about others but yes in my town the ayan members are visiting every house and collecting data who have not done ziarat in the family. After getting the name of the family member who have not done ziyat are pressurized to go. and few gullible has been threatened that the jamat has taken note and will be dealt when time comes. Means when and karaz comes in your family.

may be its just for those who never went to Mumbai for zyarat, but I dont think in India there is any such cases, most would be in west or some other part of the world.

Extracts of an email :-

Story of Rashida Pallavala who has resorted to begging near a Muslim Masjid on Fridays.

Dear friends,

About a year ago, Mufaddal Mola visited Dahod, collected several crores, bagged it, and shipped it to his secret accounts. When in Dahod, he declared lakhs in donation to Blind welfare Society and Dahod Municipality. Newspapers and TV carried this news for publicity. However, nothing was given to them; we had filed RTI (right to information notice) to both Blind Welfare and Dahod Municipality, for last two years both have not replied as to how much they received in donation.

Hundreds of poor Bohra families in Dahod cannot provide two square meals a day to their families. About two months back our trust president Aizaz Bhai had approached Dahod Bhaisaheb offering him to pay Tiffin dues for poor Bohra families who are denied tiffin because they couldn’t pay Wajebat and tiffin money. We also mentioned to him a case of poor Bohra women Rashida Pallavala, who has resorted to begging near a Muslim Masjid Dahod. Bhaisaheb assured our Trust President said Aizaz and said he will look into issue and will have a second meeting. He never arranged second meeting and nothing was done.

Story of Rashida Pallavala.

She is 50 year old. She became orphan in her childhood as her father passed away; her mother passed away 7 years ago. She has two brothers who kicked out Rashida ben from her mother’s house. For 22 years, Rshidaben worked for a Bohra run school named Burhani School. She is not given any pension neither from school authorities nor from Syedna who owns all Bohra properties and pockets its income. Rashida Ben is handicapped by a problem in her leg. For last three years, she shares a room with a Muslim woman in Mochivada locality.

When I was told about her plight, I asked our Trustees to take her care. They have put in her in a house in Ghanchiwada, bought her household utensils, ration kit, light and gas expenses for last two weeks. She is sick; so, we have arranged for her medical needs. We will try finding her employment.

I want to establish a separate fund of about 2-3 lakh that would take care of Rashida ben’s medical and day to day needs. We will open a separate account for her; it will be under our trust control. For this purpose, please send your checks payable to AFMI or to Roshan Safar Dahod. Please forward this email to all your friends on Facebook, WhtasApp, email, etc.

Please send your US or Canada dollar denomination donations to my address. It is tax deductible in USA. Make it payable to AFMI (American Federation of Muslims of Indian-origin) and send it to me. My address is:

I have recently been to Dahod for personal visit and I can attest bohra in Dahod are living in very bad condition, elders are thrown out of house because new married girls are too busy in partying and friends gatherings, Amil and other responsible people have no affection for people they are just not fit for the job.

thali is also abused as poor are paying lot more then what they should be actually paying, future looks dark for dahodi bohras, young kids are just found of silly mobile games and forwarding stupid messages, they have no idea of out side world and neither have any ambition in life.

Story of Rashida Pallavala who has resorted to begging near a Muslim Masjid on Fridays.

this is so depressing ...GM Bhai thank you for earthing our thinking ...we forget why we are reformists , we are also liberating the dawat so wealth is distributed to the poor as intended. Not for someone's hunting desires.

600,000 human worshipers will spend close to $1 billion in 1 week globally to praise a dead , while a portion would change thousands of lives forever . Air tickets, tasty food, shopping.

We can forget about SMS doing anything about them he is not their Diai as they don't benefit his lifestyle. Why would he interrupt his busy entertainment and jet setting schedule !

Question I have , I cannot contemplate their the poors thought process, as their priorities are so different to mine. First world problems vs third world problems. Some of us get upset with the level of salt or sugar in our meal...they , you see the word I use is them, not some of us, worry about any meal .

GM Bhai I have posted a PM.

are these poor people still hopeful that being followers of Dawaat though not benefitted in this life their hereafter is guranteed. Will they get their ruku chitty ? Or are they so involved in their survival that they have no time and energy to explore other faiths?

[alam]

OZ,
I don't know how you come to 1 billion figure in expenditure. Most people cannot fathom that, and tend to brush this type of info aside as a fascinating fact. So instead, for people like me, just one of the Bohra masses, what can I do?

I give up my daily lunch expense and instead pack a tiffin to work would save me 200 or 300 rs or say $5-10. If I give it up say 30 days a year, it's a whopping Rs 10000 a year or USD 250-300 - that could go to charity.

Say my expense to go to Ashara or any Mikaat - if in india is around rs 20000/- . If out of india it could be anything upwards from Rs 50000/- If instead I spend this on a real worthwhile bonafide charity, for education, feeding hungry, foor homeless, etc, what is the ROI - in terms of benefit to humanity. People make choices - let them be informed ones. After all we are trained as Bohras to be business minded, traders, with an eye toward ROI. Do I save 20000/- or 50000/- once or twice a year for the benefit of alleviating world poverty, or perhaps for my children's education, or someone else's education?

We simply cannot afford to spend so much money, year after year, or multiple times within the year for our salvation, sawaab, or for a stamp of approval on our ITS smart card. But I think the ROI for same amount to a deserving charity is well worth it.

Quite often we get stories of how poor bohras are suffering. Heart breaking as in Dahod and else where. Just a question what STS or SMB would have done? Well Muffy can be discounted Totally. Many abdes here say they loved and respected SMB immensly. Here Is a challenge. Please, answer this question. My answer they would not have lift a finger.
Then say why these gaeb na jankar did not set up trusts to help out? What is happening to Zakat and Dawat money?

Even animals are or were not safe from these 3 generations of hunters. How bohras, Indian nation and the world benefited from there existence in this world. Just remember that STS was against the freedom movement.

[Ozdundee]

Alam some Maths

Each person on average spends $1500 on tickets, hotel , Salam. Shopping,

Average because foreigners will spend $2500 while India participants only less

600,000 x 1500 = $900,000,000 just this one week

So let us say it is $500 million money

Who say there is poverty?

[Saeed al Khair]

Many Saify Mahal setlers explained in their Biyaan in the area for which they were assigned Saheb al Dawat that Ziyarat of Rawdat Tahera is equal to Haj and Umrah. Naozubillah

They also says that if you don't have enough amount of Ziyarat Karbala and Najjaf, don't worry. In the Ziyarat of Burhanul Huda is the same Sawaab and all your Hajaat Moula will fulfill.

No turning point for this community towards Islam.
