Dawoodi Bohra Forum

Reading some of the responses from AbdeYamani and Rashida so-called Behnsaheba one concludes that the choices between Kothari Mafia and Ustadi Borhas (a new term I am coining to describe chelas of Four Ustads thrown out of the Jamia) are that either accept tyranny from (a) Da'i and his family and Ko...

And yes you may claim that the translation can say AND, but then that would not be accurate. It has already been established that it is possible to disagree with those in authority. "And" is the translation which is most likely. Yes, I understand logically AND and OR are different! I mean...

My friend AbdeYamani. Thanks for clarifying your position. I understand you better now. The point you raised of an imam in the progeny of the Prophet is an interesting one. In theory. However, I hope you agree there is no manifest imam at present. Also, there is no need that just because you were bo...

SBM + HUMSAFAR + BIRADAR + ANAJMI = Self-Proclaimed Progressive Mafia on DBF. Thanks for the implicit acknowledgment that your brand of fanaticism, derived from fanatical mullahs who were kicked out from the Jamia and/or the mad Kotharis (it is hard to know you exact affiliation), is not welcome am...

Qur'an 4:59 is : O believers! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. Should you disagree on anything, then refer it to Allah and His Messenger, if you ˹truly˺ believe in Allah and the Last Day. This is the best and fairest resolution. I believe anajmi is referring to th...

Ya Allah! I am gone for a few weeks and now I see anajmi has done zuhur! Mubarak, mubarak. Anyway, nice to see you! Da'i is not only not infallible but on the other hand very much fallible. Just witness the antics of Muffy and his dad. Both loved luxury, caused serious chaos and hardship to people's...

So I want to clarify a few more things. I am personally convinced that there was no break of nass from 47th da'i onwards. I have written on this topic very extensively before and it is too tiring to repeat the same thing 100 times or more. In very brief: the ulema wanted to control the dawaat and t...

Every Abrahamic religion and most monotheistic religions have been introduced or revealed through a person chosen by the divine power ... in our case, it is an Imam whose position is constant throughout history.. child after father.. divinely ordained.. or in terms of prophets who are also divinely...

I have often been a harsh critic of the Progressive Movement (I mean Progressive with a capital "P" to distinguish the actual organization rather than the general progressive ideals it espouses). This criticism is not because I think the movement itself is bad or the ideals it promotes are...

Woweee! Consider us reminded :roll: Too bad you could not make your liberation ideal. Too bad you keep whining about crap 50 years later. Aren't you and the FD leaders also whining about crap 50 years later? I mean all I heard was how horrible SMB's brothers were to SKQ. So why not tell the FD guy ...

@Biradar & Kseeker, If I may ask, 1. could there be some tawil or Haqiqat explanation for this duration? 2. If pregnancy determination was the only reason for iddah then why would there be different waiting period Iddah(mourning) and Iddah(divorce)? from what I Know the way Iddah is practised i...

... on the other hand, I would be surprised if my wife would shed a tear after the second hour of my passing... Well said! My wife and I talk about this sometimes and laugh at the absurdity of her hiding for 4 months after I leave this hayula-nu-aalam and she is still around (a statistical likeliho...

We suffer now too. We are not strangers to clerical oppression. Those who chose to be with FD had their siblings, parents, aunts and uncles and cousins and sometimes even their children taken away from them. Those with FD openly lost a majority of family and societal ties in one day and received ha...

Agreed Biradar, WhatsApp has dumbed down the whole world and especially Bohras. Also, the the succession dispute has distracted Bohras, creating further confusion among their ranks. The highhandedness of the mafia clergy has been discussed on this Forum for more than two decades, not only there's n...

I am beginning to like Ajamali Bhai. He is bringing semblance to what is becoming a neurotic fiasco. Hope it leads to progress. What happened on the debate on Iddah. Ajamali bhai had suggested was "One way to get MS to ban the practice is to have STF tell newspapers that FD supports it....Just...

Porus was an absolute gem.. I hope he/she is well and safe... The quality of the members in a group depend on the topics being discussed.. before, it was so much about Islam, the different belief in various sects, the actual problems faced by common bohras.... yes there was a lot discussed on the c...

Thank you for bringing it back on track. Dawoodi Bhoras and Aghakhanis are cousins in the sense they come all the way in our belief upto the 18 or 19 th imam. The Agha khani imam never marry an Agha khani women, their wives are always from out of their community. The reason given is, their imams co...

Are you blaming the women?! I can expect an AHole like you to blame the women! How hard was it for the moronic Shehzada to stop the women from slobbering all over his hand? Isn’t it his job to guide them in the Islamic way? The women cannot be completely absolved of responsibility, don't you think?...

It is amazing, isn't it, that every discussion here gets hijacked by Al-Bore, who, like a pestiferous jinni infested baboon, starts defecating everywhere he goes? Now, here is he is in his three avatars: MoronBhai, DumbBox and Social Depression, all talking amongst themselves like a schizophrenic sp...

So guy_sam2005 represents a very peculiar type of fanatic Bohri. First, he claims that all the things I said about his Dharm Guru are not true, and anyway Allah is judge. Well, all these years his Dharm Guru and his father and grandfather have been socially boycotting hundreds of people, ruining the...

Hope admin will take down all copyright violations immediately .no one has rights to put anyone's personal audio or videos in public forums withot that person's consent it is morally wrong. It is morally wrong to prevent poor women from getting jobs to support their family. It is morally wrong to t...

Muffy is a religious leader and public figure and hence his utterances have different status than the pirated PDF copy of a copyrighted book. Generally, it is perfectly legal to make copies of excerpts of public figure's speeches and videos for the sake of criticism and discussion. Hence, when some...

As I said earlier, there is no copyright here. Small excerpts like this are perfectly fine for criticism purposes and anyway this anti-women Talibani mullah is a public figure. So fair use policies apply. Incidentally, I had forgotten about his exact wordings. Thanks for the reminder! Clearly, I gue...

The English translations of the da'im al Islam are NOT yours to gift! If you have an Arabic manuscript which you copied yourself, sure scan that and upload it. The English translations are owned by Oxford U Press. You are taking someone else's intellectual property and "gifting" it to othe...

AbdeYamani, Do you have permission to distribute these volumes? Providing scanned copies for downloads amounts to copyright violations and is also ethically wrong. We understand your good intention but we believe it is not the right thing to do. We will remove the attachments. Thank you. These book...

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. T...

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 Egyp...

Perhaps I should mention the imaginary wife in the tent-like garb to speed things up...... Actually, as I have diagnosed before, Al-Bore aka Kabab aka 20 other IDs here, is possessed by a female jinni of the tribe of ghula. These are very bad jinni's. Al-Bore aka Kabab knows that he is possessed an...
