Dawoodi Bohra Forum

A couple of observation of this person

- He has not matured in a western society, still a freshy
- I would not trust him
- does not say much about his son

OM,

I have never seen a rumal being put between Mola and Mohmeem , only when a foreign person is involved, please show evidence

OM,

As I have said that hunting has been going on for centuries , humans would not have survived without it.

I don't know what the problem is, you eat meat don't you, guess how the animals are killed.

There is no where where it says hunting is Haraam.

GB, you do go on

The relevance of calling Mubarak is its a blessed day when due to Husein's sacrifise Islam was saved.It is a joyous day and a mournful day because how Husein's life was sacrifised.

Ok understand but surely you will have bad apples in every community, we can't generalise

But the Quami Libas does give us an identity and you do feel good meeting bohras when you are in a foreign country.

Difficult to sign you in because the other condition you need is Safai ni chithi, ie you have cleared all your sabil/wajebaat, khumus, etc etc payments .

I am not sure reform minded is the correct definition , its free minded , not in any camp, free to air your point of view

The better proposal is to make some miracles at the Raudat Tahera for the Hindus thus get them to make it as a durga thus enhancing the value economically of people around there , they can then sell Bohras photos etc and the Hindus stuff as well.

This way we still look after our own.

torture ? thats extreme , its given bohras a identity , wherever you go around the world when you see someone with Quami libas you know he/she are bohras and easy to mix in. I think whoever likes wearing them we should not look down on to them. Your theory about why it came about needs to be proved....

sounds like a good investment potential according to you but Bohras will not be able to take advantage because its difficult to reconvert to hindus as already circumcised, you need another plan which ensures that Bohras brothers will profit and not the other community.

You get to the same place but your travel is in a different class , in the transit launge you get a better service before you are escorted to janaat

Insafbhai, I did not generalise that Rida is ok for all occasions , In this particular instance of long jump its ridiculous decision to force this youg lady to wear rida. In our community we still have people who are programmed in their thinking and make decisions without thinking because they have ...

I think women in chadar driving 2 wheelers look very sophisticated , whe I saw that in Mumbai I was impressed.

You guys only see the negatives.

AZ, You don't get it, there are thousands of people around the Roza whole livelyhood is dependant on this, BOHRAS TOURIST FROM AROUND THE WORLD COME OVER THERE AND BUY STUFF ETC.

AZ, From your utterings you seem to be happy if an extreme organisations go against the Bohras, just because you are against the 2 dais should not mean you lose any heart if our mohmeen are affected physically and econimically.

GB, Your explanation is totally correct.

AZ, 'its hard to comment when we cant verify the facts. i think we all agreed danish was quite over the top in his religious views and creating the wrong impression about reformists on this forum, when he doesnt even believe in Allah or any religion.' I think AZ with your views you are turning off p...

AZ, Who am I to judge people or religious leaders ? I don't think I can do that, it will be hypocritical , none of us are squeeky clean My personal view is if someone prefers hunting then I do not see a problem , where does it say its a sin to do hunting, you seem to be too focused on this issue You...

I would be wary of such people, seems dubious especially if he is living in the West. Interesting self appreciation 'I will be a good father in law( and a father), what about the son or does he not count

Clarification -

When I said heard that meant as a rumour , unsubstantiated - ok

Aarif,

As I said in my post that it was a rumour so I raise my hand to say that it was not correct information

GM,

Thats a cruel statement to make about your fellow bohras, real sad

Raudat Tahera is a source of income for thousand of bohras who have business around it and from Bohras from abroad, its become a thriving business centre for Bohras.

What can you guys offer ? you are quick to join a bandwagon without thinking of implications.

It will be difficult to have a black Syedna because of following reasons

1) We do not convert others to join our community
2) You are born a Bohra
3) With our Sabeel and vajebaat payments requirements not a lot of people will join
4) you wont get a black person from the royal family

So no chance

Thats a good idea to save money,intead of bodyguards the Amils etc are trained in self defence like Karati/Judo/Kung fu.

In their position they need self defence training especially if they are like tax collectors

AZ ,

Lets be clear , I am not a symphatizer or supporter of any groups

I just speak my mind wherever I am, ifs its with mainsteam or progressives, if something is not right I will say so.

The problem is you look at things in black and white- no compromise

Al Muiz, You are being given a bait and you seem to get caught . There is an alternative disease called 'Al Zulfi ' were a patient comes out with verbal diarhoea, venom against a peace living community, full of jeolousy , very reluctant to part money and mostly in their own planet. Ussually the firs...

Az, why? there are a million people who look forward to ziyaraat etc to Raudat Tahera , you may think they are mad , unintelligent etc but its their choice

Lets be clear, we are born as Bohras who are gujeratis, when it comes to money their a lot of reluctance to pay , thats why a lot of people did join the reformist camp. Unless you demand money you will never get any money from Bohras, this is I am speaking from experience, we will always look for ba...
