Hi Boom Please read my posting in patience in this thread. I would like to stick to the issue of attire only. Initially I too objected to orders and instruction of Kothar for such dressing. I felt violation of my personal freedom. But then I gave a thought about it. We go to school and follow the un...

Hi MF Thanks for your response. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Anajmi Thanks for your responses A particular community hall was not permitted, because Namaz was being performed in basement as well ground level...

Dear Boom Your response is aggressive, your language is brash and your mentality is self centered. I have expressed my POV as per my experience and understanding. I do not represent Kothar. As you mentioned dilemmas in your part of world in dressing in such attire causes problem is due to biased per...

• Is performing Namaz in front of mirror allowed or not allowed ? • Can Namaz be performed in the basement as well ground level at same time in any premises ? • Why do some muslims fold hands while other keep them straight during standing in Namaz ? • Why do some muslims raise an index finger during...

Hi AZ LOL ! as usual your respond is funny and difficult vocabulary. I have to refer to google dictionary. But I don’t mind I get to learn new English words. I m still curious to know your story with anonymity. But you don’t wanna share it. That is sad  ---------------------------------------------...

Dear Boom I don’t wish to make it a personal argument, however I will respond to your accusations of me being delusional. It is obvious you are not aware of this, but this is how cultish people think and I really liked how you managed to combine religious occasions and bohra traditions to justify yo...

Hi Boom With reference to your opinion : But what I fail to understand is you seem to be so aware of the corruption within the community but so naive and ignorant about those small things as "white saya kurta, pehran, topi, feta, paagri, rida, beard" which is creating division, not only am...

Being rich and prosperous, business minded, enterprising, smooth & sweet talking, well guided and guarded, honest and ethical, Can anyone provide atleast 2 bohra mumin names of International / National repute under following category : • International Business Enterprise : • Freedom Fighters in ...

What advantage a bohra mumin gets by acquiring such titles at such extravagant cost ?

Poor Royals ! Victim of wealth and opulence. Denied enjoyment of ordinary life. Brainwashed into feeling of superiority. Shoved into autocratic leadership. Forced to make commoner elder bow down to greet.

I was visiting a small town in Gujarat. I was interacting with few youngsters during my visit. Any religious intellectual discussion revolves around Whereabouts and Glorification of Sayedna sahib and Royal Family. I observed some profound beliefs in one young bohra mumin. “Sayedna Sahib’s health con...

Dear Readers Why do we end up diverting the thread from its original topic of discussion. Every thread becomes a silly girly fight of cats and dogs between members. -------------------------------------------------------------------- I would be interested to know more about Jamiya, where can I find ...

Hi Boom An Insightful article you have shared. Very good read! In spite of visible wrongdoings of leadership, bohra mumin who have realized the fallacy of the system are helpless to raise their objection at family levels. Objecting at community level is far fetched courage. Many bohra mumins get hel...

Hi Boom !! I talk a lot right !! he he he Because most bohras are not willing/interested to hear that our Dai (tus) is the reason to our sufferings.. ( I believe a lot people are forced to stick to it) There are mixed reasons like : social conditioning, upbringing environment, laziness, reluctance t...

Hey humanbeing, To tell you the truth, I got a little lost reading your post.. I got the part about my posts are provocative and I won't deny it..Not everyone is gifted like you, plus I have to translate from the language I think in, and translate that into english, you see :wink: And I'm not good ...

Dear AZ the reformists have so far failed to reform the corrupt ways Why has reformist not succeeded in creating atleast awareness of true history, faith, knowledge and belief amongst bohra mumins. AZ I m not against your ideology or frustration, I m no one to judge you on your belief. As you believ...

Hi Friends I recently requested for a “Safai Chitti” (Clear Receipt) which is designated with Big Bold Shaded Yellow. I was quiet surprised to see the Yellow mark on my Safai chitti as I have humbly paid all compulsory dues demanded by Jamaat. On my enquiry of such categorization I was told that I d...

Hi Boom what is right .. is right .. and what is wrong…. is wrong ! when corrupt practices of the system are proven with facts, reasoning and logic, then its made clear. One need not beat the approval out of the readers. According to me various topics which are discussed on this forum are thought pr...

Hi AZ / Boom Expression of your satire is of poor humor Hi AZ There are agreements and disagreements over every topic we all come across at this forum. But usually there has been volley of insulting humor thrown against Bohra mumin belief. Your rightful arguments / explanation / justifications loose...

Yes, the wajebats include niyaz and sabeel, these are for food and facilities. Hi Profastian I think you are mistaken, Wajebaat does not include Niyaz or sabeel. Niyaz : is a voluntary payment to organize jaman. Sabeel : is a monthly collection for upkeep of the administration Wajebaat : Majorly it...

Dear AZ Please understand that, you are writing on a public forum, visited by newbie and unaware visitors of previous threads on which you have quoted your satire. Direct reference and using respected real name and personalities is misleading. I myself being regular visitor on this forum, having mis...

It remains closed now .. the one in the pictures could be another MSB in another area .. usually .. markaz, spare office space become makeshift educational centres to impart deeni taali...

Hi Allush I believe they have a fantastic resource to keep records.. they must have misplaced your records .. We can give them a benefit of doubt .. its not a corrupt practice. Morever you had payment receipts .. so Hope All was settled !!.. Regarding MSB in Mahboula ! yes there was a presentation i...

Dearest SU I m not from Shabab !! I don’t even know what it is ? where it is ? and why it is ? I m a simple commoner-next-door bohra mumin who attends majority of mikaats, pay my dues (Sabeel, wajebaat, hoob, najwa, silatul imam etc etc) and wish / strive for betterment of my community, its people i...

Hi SU There is no victory in fighting and in such blame games over individual or group practices / beliefs followed in community. Any practice against Islam / Humanity / basic logic shall be unacceptable. However to justify your arguments, please consider : Yes, saying LAANAT on the kaatil of our be...

Hi Readers We are encouraged to follow laws and regulations of the country in which we live and earn our livelihood. Digest these : Kuwait Jamaat started MSB school in the basement of the main community hall; violating all norms, guidelines, permission, standards for a healthy school. Recently gover...

If progressive bohra thinkers really care for the Bohra faith and consider every bohra to be as mainstream in terms of number and belief, then instead of classifying / isolating / differentiating themselves, they shall remain in the system and raise valid objections to corrupt practices. Not everyth...

HI AZ Don’t jump the gun pal !! read my post !! There are several advantage listed as per DB philosophy, I was told these by elders who encourage to keep a full growing beard: Feel the humor !!
