Re: Mujiza Fabrication Factory

Interesting.. If SMS is same as SMB, then wouldnt it have been easier to ask him to come and re-identify the point rather than going through the whole rigmarole and depending upon an unknown person to find the point?

Re: The origins of Bohra- the Fatimid dynasty- a very Interesting read

Biradar bhai, Thanks a lot for your post. It was very interesting. I had a question and wonder if anyone is able to provide some thoughts. There are two major schisms when we think about the Imams. One is with the twelver shias between Imam Ismail and Musa Kazim. Second, is with the Ismailis with Im...

Re: Marrying a Bohra

I have married a non-bohra muslim girl. It was not easy for her but we did it. Misaq is a pain and quite unnecessary but you will not be able to proceed without it. However, once its done and you can just say the words without meaning it then no one will bother you after that. Think of it just as a ...

Re: The barbaric form of iddah

This is a pet peeve for me too. The Quran does specify 4 months and 10 days of mourning specific to women only. Can anyone throw light on other sources which would explain what this mourning is. I understand the logic of not getting married in that time frame but what about staying inside the house.

You are so right. In fact, the only people that dont welcome other muslims with open arms are bohras. In bohra masjid, any outsider is made to feel very very weird with a million questions and "looks."

Also, the yoga campaign is very strong but only in India. Havent heard anything about it where I live - maybe others can correct if this is not true for their jurisdiction..This is contrary to the uniform policies applied globally for all other things.

Therefore, motive is certainly questionable.

you hit the nail on the head. Bahen Ruqqaiya has basically been put here to try and distance Badri from Dawat. She is working for Dawat and is part of damage control - I have been thinking the same thing for some time now.

I think the heavy security is a show. It increases the importance of the person in eyes of common bohra. A lot of people talk about the fact that Maula was a state guest and was given this type of welcome as a head of state. That image is valuable.

while the pic is funny due to the stupidity of those wearing the dumb costumes, it is also extremely sad to see where this is going with no end in sight. Seems like complete about turn from Islam from the so-called Fatemi Dai. Inshallah, as always, this hubris will end one day.
