Dear all,



Shekhar Gupta, the editor-in-chief of Indian Express Group has shot a special show on SBUT’s Bhendi Bazaar redevelopment project.



The show named ‘Walk the Talk’ will be aired on NDTV 24x7 tomorrow, Saturday 21st Sep at 9.30pm IST and ...

very good point brother, but its not very difficult to understand why they always say "maula na karam ane eshaan che". kothar always want to keep the old tradition of baadshah and ghulam and this one of the main reason.

sometimes I wonder from where do these bohri hardware and business owners get all this hefty cash to give such bag full of cash najwa to mufi moula as salam.? One thing for certain,the ordinary service person in karachi or India or Middle east or africa will not be able to dish out such type of ...

Now beat this one:

imam husain (as) never wanted war in first place..secondly he never wanted Islam to be wrongly lead by yazid. He sacrificed his life by not surrendering to yazid and left this world as a true muslim. muslim all over the world should try and learn the message imam husain spread rather than mourning ...

Thanks Bhai Humsafar for sharing the link, What i however could not understand is WHY the Orthodox side did such horrendous act, when they always talk about peace and prosperity?

In Bhendi Bazaar, there's a well developed and carefully operated full fledged Bohra Prostitution centre in which their own bohra ladies are bought and sold and swapped for money or qadambosi passes or other religious favors.

Does anyone else have facts like these ?

Troubled_db,

We all can ...

I have still not got the answer to the question
Why Imam had to go into purdah?
Why is it that the Imam is still in purdah?
Is there any information from dawoodi bohra history, surely the 1st / 2nd Dai's must have explained to the public at that time the reasons behind the same.

Its true that we ...

If u truely Love Allah then How can you praise someone else in Allah's House.

Idiot...Dont you recite Naat - Mankabat - Qasida - Madeh for Panjatan, Imamuzaman and Syedi Fakhruddin shaheed ?
We love ALLAH the Almighty and love THOSE as well, who put their life in the Allah's Path.
Check your ...

I agree!, To add more, People in the masjid (Allah's House), on top of their voices shout : Maula, Maula....and keep shouting Zindabad Zindabad in praise of Syedna... If u truely Love Allah then How can you praise someone else in Allah's House?


if u remember azaan dont u praise Muhammed(saw ...

One of the reasons I have stopped going to the waaz and these type of saalgirah celebrations is because of the repetitive nature of the content. There are only the following that is repeated again and again and again.
1. Self Praise - and more self praise at the drop of a hat.....
2. Showing us ...

I seriously doubt that Burhanuddin is bowing here. It appears that he is doing the same thing he usually does: walk with his
head lowered because he can't raise it up for more than a minute or two. When and if he decides to declare his successor,
i imagine he'll do it in public with thousands ...

a question creeping in my mind : Y syedna called the person to saifee mahal to allow him to go london...I mean if syedna claims to be God on earth and as you have mentioned he has made life of all these people...he should have given the RAZA to the person in flight itself...may be syedna thout let ...

There are no reasons to follow syedna...its just that abdes are used to it. Restrict jaman only for ramzan and muharram so mainly 40 days out of 365 days and keep majlis for 300 days out of 365 days. m damn sure the number will decline.

Abde syedna's can not celebrate xmas infact they cannot even celebrate thier own birthday, coz they are saving for 100th Milad mubark of Dai....Lots and lots of hungama and road show, car rally and other stuff...no time and money for others...just for bawa shafiq....ghanu lutao :mrgreen: :mrgreen ...

Bro Incredible,

I do not know on what basis you have done the survey and came to the conclusion about the specific sects people are looking upto. however, m sure that there is a subsequent decline in the number and more to come in future for various reasons.I am curious to know how kothar is goin ...

I think this is Masjid Ul Husainy, London.

I agree to you Bro. Pic in a Masjid totally against the Islamic law.

it does not bother me how much he pays or he pays or not, Allah has ordered me to pay my Zakaat, so i pay.

Bro. aqs,

Indeed allah has ordered us to pay zakaat, and we all do...allah is all knower. However, the important point here is to pay zakaat to the needy not to someone who is already ...

Hi " who2trust " ... .

I take it the " Sabeel " for each person runs into a few thousands dollars per person ?? If not what is the amount for each person ??

And also when I had written tax in my OP .. I pointed towards " zakat " the Bohras give to their Syedna... The amount of " Zakat ...

Whenever one enters the Masjid, one should remain conscious of these etiquettes:

It is more virtuous to sit in the first row. However, if place is not available, one should sit wherever he finds place. It is not permissible to leap over the shoulders of people in order to advance forward.
Do not ...

Who is this " WE " ?? Wahabbis ??

The Imam is already on earth according to the Dawoodi Bohras... So how can he be back ON earth ?? Also from where ??

At least wahabbis are not hypocrite like you

Hello " who2trust " .....

Perhaps you will be kind enough and tell me where to find such people who are not able to pay tax as you tell me to ask them ??

Firstly what is this " TAX " you talking about ??

Then I shall comment on your two points..

I hope you have heard the name "SABEEL". and ...

walekum as salaam,

celebrations were always a part of dawat, may be in previous dai's time they were not on this grand level for which many factors were responsible mainly finance, communication, transport pressure from rulling people.

May Allah give you more life than present Syedna(tus) and ...

Brother Ghulam Muhammed,

I agree that Prophet is at the Zenith, and you will also agree that all the Imams and Prophets or Ambiya will have a place higher than a Dai, its practically impossible to celebrate for everyone.
Now we come back to the topic that why so much importance. Then you might ...

Is Matam just to make Syedna Happy??

strangely enough how can someone be happy to see others crying and beating chests?.....is the question we shud be asking

Exactly how can someone be happy, but Thats what Syedna keeps on saying in his bayaans....

As salaam,

Well, Its best to ask the person who is not able to pay Tax. However since you have asked this question on this board, let me reply---

Few things which a normal abdes go through If Tax not paid in time----

1. He will not get "RAZA" for any family affairs like Misaq,sehra,saalgirah ...
