Dawoodi Bohra Forum

Biradar However, the Ismailis are not unique in this and Sufis (both Sunni and Shi'a) also interpret the Qu'ran and shariaa in similar symbolic manner Br Biradar If we accept Ismailis and Sufi's version of Interpretation of Quran and still consider them Muslims then why the Muslim world calls Ahmed...

It is morally wrong to prevent poor women from getting jobs to support their family. It is morally wrong to tell women they should sit in corner of the house, and only cook, sew, make topis, cook rotis and not pursue ambitious career goals. It is morally wrong to tell husbands to throw out their wi...

Thank you Kseeker and Biradar for underlining the importance of intellectual property rights and, more specifically, putting this site and forum at risk when pirated material is posted here. most of the videos of huzurala(tus) are copyright of jamea(stolen while telecasted)am sure this law applies ...

Did oxford press take permission of Qadi Nauman before translating his book? Anyways... books are out there now... you deleting them won't make any difference. And I will keep posting them using newly created IDs.. sk goodluck trying to stop me from doing so on this forum. There was no copyright on...

In his biography of his father, Ja'far bin Mansur al-Yaman says that in the absence of the Imam the dawa is established by three ranks: da'i mutlaq, ma'dhun al-mutlaq and ma'dhun al-mashur (i.e. the mukasir). In such times the Imam, Bab, hujjas and da'i al-balagh accompany the Imam into seclusion. ...

The origin of the dawaah in Yemen, which eventually led to the formation of the Tayyebi dawah is long and complex. It did not originate with the letter of Imam Aamir to M. Hurratul Maleka, but much, much before that. In fact, the original goal of the Imams, before they established the empire in Egy...

can you tell us what things you have witnessed with your own eyes? My personal episodes and experiences are not vastly different from those numerous ones which have already been shared on this forum and they will not add any 'value' to the discussion - they will just be used as fuel for more gossip...

Also, thanks for highlighting that there is no dawat text that says a Dai cannot passaway without nominating someone in his place, this is the basis of their claim. A claim not supported by any credible evidence. However, I would like to clear my point of view on this topic... I don't believe for c...

My best guess about you is this, you are an STF promoter... a planted agent on this Forum... your angle is that you have adopted persona of someone who comes out as personal enemy of STS and its off-shoots.. but vehemently defend the creed developed by STS and its off-shoots... so the net result is...

I am an oldman over 90 Alhamdolillah. Have seen the times of 3 dai (s) now. I have seen the increase in greed progressively and continuously in our Dawat administration and i do not like what i see is happening. But in defense of Maula i must say he is not hiding from us in luxury villas, which he ...

Adam - you mention: I have personally not heard about this but I have heard about SKQ asking SMB to handling many other bara'at situations (there have been very many of these) in a more light handed, diplomatic and smart manner to which SMB just said " I agree with your thoughts" and left...

When you have been around for as long as I have, you will tend to find people easily who love to get things off their chest. If you don't mind me asking, when you clearly don't believe STS, SMB, SKQ as dai, what is your rationale behind supporting STF? I do not 'support' STF.. I do not believe him ...

It's a bit of both. I will share what I have learnt about the 4 Ustaads and the movement itself... To answer your question, The 4 Ustaads (any many others in the Jamea at that time and very few even now) believed that there was no Nass after the 46th Dai and Syedna Yousuf Najmuddin was ELECTED as a...

Yes I respect Umar RA ,there are reformist Shia who have realised there is no sin to respect the Khalifas and revere Ahlul Bayt just as reformist Sunni who respect Ahlul Bayt and Khalifa Rashidun. This is my direct warning to the website. Robust debate is ok. But If it allows hate, vulgarv insult t...

There is no escape from that, but I hope for greater good the publishers and the Author will forgive me. There is an escape from it.. don't copy his book.. translate it yourself or hire/contract someone to do so.. what you are saying is " I have no option but to rob someones house.. I hope he ...

As per my understanding, the raza system has indeed existed since the time of Prophet Muhammad.. however, the degree to which this power and authority has been abused and has been started to be applied on things which should not require a raza and only done to extend their control over people is a ...

I do not believe that trying to discredit people like TS MB and MS or collecting books and documents against them or proving the lack of a nass will help with anything. If anything, they will get a new villan to boo at and show the world how jealous others are of them which will fuel the love of th...

Agree with you Kseeker. But "educating" Bohras is a tall order. An individual here and there might see the light, like "awakendsoul" (http://www.dawoodi-bohras.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=11489), but for a real change to take place we need a mass awakening and that I'm afr...

I think the family tree is relatively simple, Grandson of Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA, Nephew of Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA, Son of Syedna Khuzema Qutbuddin RA. Unlike you-know-who, Syedna Taher Fakhruddin does not claim to be a direct descendent of the Prophet Mohammed (SAW). Yes, consistent wit...

Munafiqeen during the time of Syedna Qutbuddin Shaheed used to claim that Bohras are Mushrik. What's left of them today? Nothing. Nafisa whoever you are, will not be remembered but the name Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin will always be remembered by lakhs of mumineen forever. I didn't know this topic ex...

Agno I was not trying to make two wrong one right, but trying to expose your hypocrisy blaming Muslims and Arabs and when historical facts are put in front of you, you decided to go easy way, So if two wrongs do not make one right why blame Muslims alone all the time. Why not highlight the Muslim a...

You idiot! I can buy a Mercedes for 4000 less at the dealer next door and you are suggesting that if I want to spend 4000 less, I buy a Honda... I agree with SBM dawat tours are rip off. For Much Less you can stay right outside haram shareef and pay a lot less with some private tours. So you can al...

The way you use "raza" is the way Hindus use vedic astrology or gypsies use tarrot cards.. at least the later two have some sort of system behind the way they do their readings... Now - you say it's not a legal binding contract.. but do you know what happens to people who ignore the raza ...

What are you talking, you can NOT do Umrah or HAJJ without the Raza, I donot know which Jamaat do you go to or who is your Aamil Can you name your Child without RAZA or can you name your child of your choosing? You also mentioned you can NOT start a new business without RAZA if I am not using DAWAT...

Has anyone else also heard that SMS has internally announced his son, Hussain Bs Burhanuddin as his successor? "Apparently", all the formalities have been done but has been kept silent from the public and will be announced at an opportune moment...

Can anyone confirm this?

What I like to think will happen is that after the US leaves Afghanistan, The taliban will regain control of Afghan and then come to conquer India.. yet once again.. they will have massive support from the hundreds of millions of muslims in India who will more than welcome the mughal raj... they wi...

All the doctors I speak to give me a timeframe of atleast 6 months for the Covid to come under control.. unless they find a cocktail of anti-virals which can do the trick.... given this lengthy duration, I wonder what will the situation at Ashara.. with hardly any travel allowed and people all paran...
