Re: Keepers of the Faith - A Novel - Must Read

Just got through reading this artfully crafted work of historical romantic fiction. Although it was a page turner with suspense, there were plenty of moments that gave a stunning pause - giving the reader a nuance, perhaps even slight, into the perspectives and experiences of Khatun or the soul-sear...

References to Masjids in Quran sharif

We muslims and Bohras are used to masjids and mosques, as khuda Nu ghar, Baytullah, and so are most places of worships (Church, synagogues temples) referred to as House of God or something similar. Any references in the Quran that explain this description. Simple question but puzzling too. How did t...

Re: Taher Fakhrudin and related topics

Well DCP, you have a point there. More questions come up, like how many people were surveyed. What defined literacy. Is it being able to read and write in at least one language? Or is it 10th standard or 5 th standard? I don't believe that in 1947 there was 100% literacy even in Bombay. I too wonder...
