Re: Whatever happened to the old-timers?
Walaikum Assalaam Bro Muslim First We are doing fine Alhumdulillah. Haven't been checking this forum. Was looking for a discussion that we had way back in 2006 with porus and the others and hence logged in. Glad to know you are ok. Not sure when you might login to check again.

Re: Jamea Oral (Safai) Imtehaan in Surat
When Rasulullah started preaching, he faced many hardships.. one of the toughest challenges he faced were in Taif where the locals over there injured him very badly. He was resting by a tree when someone, at the instruction of Muhammed bin Al Waleed offered the prophet 18 grapes. The prophet thanke...

Re: Sticky: Dawoodi Bohra's Succession of Dai Case in Mumbai High Court
That is an idiotic argument. It is like saying that since Abu Jahal remained a kafir then by logic (more specifically, YOUR logic) the prophet (saw) has failed to deliver the message of Islam!!! Your analogy does not apply at all. Think about it. The argument made is court is about the survival of ...

Re: Sticky: Dawoodi Bohra's Succession of Dai Case in Mumbai High Court
The same applies for Dai al-Mutlaq; if the Imam has gone into satr then his representatives, the Dais (once again by Fatimid theology) must also carry on through nass until when the Imam returns from satr. If you are saying that the Imams and Dais have failed to establish a clear nass, then by logi...

They also strategically isolated Syedna especially towards the end of his reign, preventing true reports from every reaching him. So the bohra claim that the Dai is ghaib na jaankar is a lie correct? 2) This goes fundamentally against Fatimid ideology and logic. If the people are left without any c...

There is no evidence of the prophet having celebrated this day as Eid. This day was celebrated as Eid long after the death of the prophet (saw). Not even Ali or his sons celebrated this day as Eid. If they did, provide your evidence. Second, 5:3 - this verse was revealed on the day of Arafah of the ...

Re: Sticky: Dawoodi Bohra's Succession of Dai Case in Mumbai High Court
. Note that as Walker mentions, the very fact of performing nass is a validation of an Imam. Hence, an Imam can not pass away without designating a successor. (BTW: This does not mean, as Ahmed Ali Raj in a lecture implied, that an imam can't die if he has not appointed a successor. It simply means...

There is no evidence of the prophet (saw) having celebrated this day as eid. There are only two Eids and one is not allowed to fast on those days..Allah has not sent any prophet but that he celebrated this day as Eid and was aware of its sanctity.

You are right. No hard feelings. Whatever information I have gathered over the years has been because of people like Biradar and others. For example, I went back and bought the book he suggested. Most of the times to prove myself right but at the same time I started learning about Islam and Quran.

And the reason bohra clergy refuses to put down the taawil in writing because they don't want to be called out on it. They have been fooling bohras with their taawil for decades. None of the bohras are actually firmly grounded in knowledge and hence it is really easy to fool them. For example, look ...
