Dawoodi Bohra Forum

The Dawoodi Bohras believe the Prophet to be ' Know-It-All ' .Likewise , we believe Imam and Imam's Dai to be ' Know-It-All ' . Please provide references to the Quran or any Ismaili literature from the Fatmid period to back up this claim. Also, I would advise you to read the first chapter from the ...

Same could be said of the Prophet himself. Why did he not use all the knowledge to save the rest of the humanity ? Was the Prophet inhuman to not care about the rest of the humanity or did he not have all the knowledge ? Heck why doesn't Allah save every human ? Sister rania, The prophet has brough...

Ok, so you guys believe that the planets, the sun and the moon have no effect on our lives. So tell me, I get that the sun and the moon are there for light and energy and human existence depend on them. But why are the other planets and this seemingly infinte universe created any way? Whats the poi...

why did u change ur name ? were u banned ? I forgot my password. Nothing too mysterious. Anyway, I suggest you cool down a bit. No need to go on and on about Hades, just relax. Also, remember that this is a progressive forum and you are a guest here. We are obviously biased towards the progressive ...

Long-time members can vouch for it. If you think there is no difference between this Forum and the Kothar, it is really unfortunate. I have been on this forum for over 8 years, although under a different name before. I have generally been against banning members and have taken the side of many bann...

Brother aziz, Do not get carried away by the wealth and splendor which the present sayedna displays. The da'is have not always been rich and, in the past, their greatest asset has been simplicity, humility and piety. All these characteristics are missing from the present administration and in fact, ...

They are as outlined in the da'im us-islam by Sayedna Qazi Noman. Please read it for progressive views on this matter.

There is no democracy in islam there never was ,rasullah sa appointed ali sa and then his sons become imams and so on,until the satr when dai zoeb was appointed and his succesors unless you believe in the democracy of saqifa ,then you are not even shias leave alone bohras Brother aziz, The issue of...

Suddenly I'm getting a feeling that I might as well be banging my head against a brick wall. Your abject ignorance of our religion and your incoherence does not make for an intelligent conversation. But let me try it one more time. Humsafar: I think you are wasting your time. There is nothing which...

Hello " Biradar " ...... Shame you call me a " Brother " at the start of your post but at the end you " Assume " about me and post mindless drivel against me ?? Do not patronize me by calling me a " Brother " next time ... If you want to be " Polite &quo...

Brother Hades, One way to look at this is that there was no central control over individual jamaats until very recently. For example, today, all names on every committee and board is vetted by the central organization. This leaves a major gap for corruption to creep into the system for now those who...

I have read that article by the Advocate-General. I have read/heard different versions of this Chandabhai case. How do I decide which is the truth? The advocate-general conducted the case himself and hence his version is bound to be more accurate. However, reading the actual court proceedings will ...

Please see the article: http://dawoodi-bohras.com/news/83/97/Sayedna-Taher-Saifuddin-in-court-recollections/d,pdb_detail_article/ This is a first-hand account of the case by a key lawyer involved in the case. That should clarify the story of what really happened. In many ways this case was a turning...

Please ignore.

what i sense here is not an attempt on your part to refuse to see the evil of our wily clergy, but simple inexperience. for those of us who have seen their deceit and tyranny first hand over several decades, we know better than to trust these rascals. I would not make such a statement about someone...

This is the Kothar's ongoing attempt at creating a Borha brand for Bohra Inc. - everybody looks the same, thinks the same, talks the same. One could argue that there is nothing wrong with it, but we all know that all attempts at uniformity and structured arrangements are designed to control and man...

Biradar, Encouraging people to pray in those particular days attaches a significance to the birth of the Syedna along with the birth of the prophet which has no basis in religion or "Fatimid Traditions". Encouraging people to pray is good, but it is not to be done for any purpose other th...

These instructions are for the 40 days between the birth of the prophet to the birth of the sayedna. I do not think this is all bad. It simply encourages people to pray regularly, attend Friday prayers, recite the Quran daily, recite certain du'as, etc. In that sense we should not think of it as inn...

The beliefs of the Bohras are well documented in the Fatimid and post-Fatimid literature. They are not open to major doctrinal change by the da'is. In fact, in the absence of the Imam, the da'i does not have the authority to change doctrine or invent anything new of his own liking. This was made amp...

Brother "haqqun nafs", You may be "lol" or even "rofl", but remember the mullahs will have the last laugh. At your expense, literally. The progressives are not interested in talking about money for its own sake. Money is the instrument of power and oppression. Simple b...

After reading all the posts i have come to the conclusion that you guy dont really believe in the current DAI-e-zaman being the appointed DAI by Imam. So my question is,"what do you guys really believe in?" As you have show yourself to be an ignorant fool, you have come to this ridiculous...

Zakat: Yes the local aamil will force you to pay a lot. But 2.5% of your earnings is FARZ on you as zakat. At the end, what you pay is much less than wat you owe. The aamil forces you because you are not willing to pay 2,5% of your earnings. As for the accountability, Quran has ordered mumineen to ...

Imam Ali said if Usmaan would not have altered Mutah adultery would not exist in world. for more information you can visit many shia websites and forums. Brother "haqqun nafs", I do not believe you know anything about Bohra beliefs. You use the term "Imam Ali". First, I want to ...

Hello All, I am quoting below parts of chapter 1 of The Dhammapada, one of the early Buddhist canonical texts. The translation is taken from the book by Ekhnat Easwaran and is available in all bookstores. There are on this board those whose sole drive is hatred and who sole purpose is vilification o...

According to Dawoodi Bohras, Molana Imam Tayyeb (a.s.) is 21st Imam and not last, there will be total 100 Imams in the progeny of Molatina Fatima (a.s.). Mubarak Yes, of course I know this. Perhaps I should have been more explicit. The point was not about Imam Tayyeb being last, but about the fact ...

It remained there for several centuries, until the Salahuddin Ayyubi exhumed the head and sent to Egypt for safekeeping from the invading Crusaders. Salahuddin was then the vizier of Egypt’s last Fatimid ruler Al-Adid and later founded Ayyubids dynasty, when Al-Adid died of natural causes in 1171. ...

M....Diamul Islam is not a widely accepted book of historical reference recognised by non-Bohras. Your respect for the author is from a point of faith rather than public or wider acedemic consensus. Sorry but one cannot brand Abubakr as dis-respectful to the Prophet on the basis of 1 text written m...

biradar, you have not been around here long enough to know that this issue has been discussed here since forever and for it to intrude into any and every topic is not only rude behaviour but inconsiderate of others. I have been on this forum for a very long time, probably for seven or more years. I...

admin, it is high time that moderation of this forum is increased to prevent each and every thread on this forum degenerating into endless shia-sunni debates and getting off track. please delete any and all such posts which derail the original focus of any thread. this constant bickering is putting...
