I read this article too. I can say for a fact that the general outlook of the majority of these people ...

I dont think these dinosaurs understand the full power of new forms of communication. If nothing wrong was being said, what is there to hide? Perfect definition of a cult, control of information by citing foul play. Also arent they insulting the intelligence of their followers by saying they will be ...

I apologize if I came across as arrogant and disrespectful. My retort wasn't pertaining to this post but to the general direction in which most posts on this forum go. My reason for asking questions right away wasn't my inability to conduct research or laziness either, but to get feedback from folks ...

Can somebody please tell me if other muslim communities also practice iddat to the extent we do? If yes, I do not believe how is it still a commonplace thing. How are we justifying ourselves in view of accusations of being from the middle ages and having no place in modern society? Are we slowly ...

Iddah as prescribed in scripture is the duration in which the widow cannot marry another man and another man is forbidden from proposing marriage to the widow. If the prescription is so simple, why is the bohra form of this practice so cruel and barbaric towards the widow.
As if the loss of her ...

After the Case Management Information System date is assigned, there is a daily board drawn up of cases that will be undertaken that day. Being on the board does not necessarily mean there will be a hearing. "High on Board" means there is a very good chance of a hearing that day. Basically, taarikh ...

Another plot point added to the current demonetization drive by the govt.

Also puts into perspective that we are a smaller group (Bohra) of a smaller group (Tayyibi) of a smaller group (Mustali) of a smaller group (Ismaili) of a smaller group (Shia).

Read the entire paper and it has raised more questions for me than answers. The paper emphasizes on supposedly changed decision of succession based on circumstance however traditional Fatimi thought does not allow for this phenomena. The title of ruler of mumineen as described is confusing to say ...

SBM, the wet feet dry feet policy was made in 1995, a pre 9-11 world, a different time. Those people were fleeing from communism and had no underlying ideological corruption. Very recently, doors have been opened to Cuba and after 2014 its not a "terrorist state" anymore. That being said, I think ...

Biradar, I agree the thread title seems misleading in hindsight. I didnt put enough thought into what I should call it instead. Also a little click-bait never hurts anyone. :wink: I also agree that they will not be affected by this at all, what they have stashed now is safe. On the other hand ...

I thought this was common news by now.

How will the new development affect bodies like D-e-H whose primary income source is cash collection. Will it all be deposited in a bank? How will key clerics from other sects be paid off? How will crooked journalists be bought to run articles? I'm assuming they would be in the know for some time ...

I think this has more to do with how people gather information these days than anything else. Nobody has the patience to check resources and read sticky posts, much less participate in prolonged discussions on a forum. Forums in general are waning, even some of the hobby forums I'm a part of have ...

Hi,
Can you please pm me the location for the said sabaqs in English. I would like to attend if possible. Any FD events in Chicagoland?

Thank you

I'm personally at stage eight. The missus however is at stage one. She is mostly unaware of my inner turmoil but knows I visit this forum and it doesn't sit well with her. I avoid reasoning with her though, I tend to get carried away and later feel guilty for my insolent behavior. I'm in the process ...

STAGES IN LEAVING THE CULTIC SYSTEM

THE WITHDRAWAL PROCESS

The control in the cultic system is so strong that people report they have been affected for years afterwards. It is for this reason that the WITHDRAWAL STAGES should be well ...

Seeker, if a child with mental disability bothers you, you are the problem.

^^Even before opening the link I knew it had to be George Carlin.

Let me begin by saying that I dont have a horse in this race. I enjoy my pepperoni pizza and love visiting my local brewery. I have given up this charade some time ago and invite you to do the same. The world is a nice place when your day to day activities are not governed by any megalomaniacs whims ...

My $0.02
>Make friends within the current power structure who are not extremists(tough to find), to ease your way into/out of certain situations.

I received a mail today morning which had an excel sheet of names, addresses and details of people who have not taken misaak in their respective "sectors". My name is also in the list, notwithstanding my belief in the current system(or the lack thereof), but because now I live two time zones away ...

I believe this exact verse has been discussed before in this forum.
