I believe the issue of the Ahle Bayt is important and is one of the fundamental doctrinal differences between the Shia et e Ali and the Ahle Sunnah - The two major branches of Mumin's (The followers of The Prophet Mohamed (PBUH) Sayid ul Mursalin ). Hence, it is important to define who are the Ahle ...

Why should I give give you the evidence? Who are You. Go and get it by asking Shz Qaid Johar yourself through your Amil.

I believe it was done in 1965 , when Syedna Mohamed Burhanuddin (RA) appointed Syedna Khuzaima Qutbuddin (TUS) to the same position he was before he became Dai, that is Mazoon and Sahib un Nass also known as Mansoos. If Syedna Mohamed Burhanuddin had informed Shz Muffadal that the Nass was on him in...

In an ideal situation this case should not have reached the Mumbai High Court, I would have preferred internal resolution (as requested by the Leaned Judge), with Shz MMuffadal stepping aside, arbitration by a panel (in order of precedence) of Ismaili leader/Scholars, Shia Scholars, Pro-Ahle Bait Su...

The position of Mazoon is vacant in both Syedna Qutbuddin - Fatemi Dawat and Shz Muffadal Dawat, Once the Ilham of Allah and the Imam is received by Syedna Qutbudin the appointment to the position of Mazoon will be made and also whether the Allah and the Imam wish to retain Syedi Hussain Bhai Saheb ...

The Shz Malek ul Ashtar is one of the front runners together with Shz Quaid Johar to be named Mazoom of Shz Muffadal Dawat, His Key strength is he could move the seat of Dawat to the USA.

A few clarifications Surah Yasin - Mentions the word Imam. All Muslims believe that Prophet Muhammad had said: "To whomsoever I am Mawla, Ali is his Mawla." This hadith has been narrated in different ways by many different sources in no less than 45 hadith books of both Sunni and Shia coll...

MS represents convenience - His side controls Masjids, Kabrastans, Musafir Khana's, Mazar's , Funds, administrative structure and other resources including human resources to enforce his will (Burhani Guards, Shabab etc). Analogy being to Yazid controlling the Armed forces of the Islamic Empire, Bai...

Has fondness for an attractive female ever been a bar to leadership? No. I feel there was no affair of SKQ with Nafisa Ali who is respectfully a married woman and mother, please refrain from malighing a lady who cannot defend herself on this forum. I believe most Bohra females have touched hands of ...

To correct you Zaid Ibne Ali also split the community by Challenging Imam Mohamed ul Bakir (AS) Ibne Imam Ali Zayn ul Abideen (AS). There are those Ismaili's who do not recognize any other Imam after Imam Ismail ibne Jaffer (AS). Accepting the lineage of Imam's is an act of faith. The Dai's chain is...

James - please note Imam Ali Ibne Ab Talib (AS) and Imam Hassan Ibne Ali (AS) are considered Rashidun (Rightly Guided) Caliphs, so avoid mocking the term Rightly Guided Caliphs. 3.4 Islamic Insurance – Takaful "Takaful is an Arabic word meaning guaranteeing each other. An Islamic insurance (Tak...

I believe Islamic Finance concepts like Murabha, Musharaka, and Ijara will be accepted by SKQ as it allows us to raise finance and access financial services in a Sharia Compliant manner. Islamic Finance is Riba free not cost free. I believe Fakhruddin Properties - Owned one of the leading Dawoodi Bo...

Yusuf Najmuddin was a bully by nature, he has even managed to bully me as a kid in my own dada's home when he was a guest. He "taught us how to do "Taslim" by making a 6 year old to Taslim 100 times hand tip touching the forehead and ground as punishment for not doing taslim to him wh...

Not sure where the concept of Muslim's of other tarika are not allowed into the Bohra Masjid. My sisters wedding took place in a Bohra masjid, however my non-Bohra relatives and my sister's best friend who happens to be an Ismaili were there as a bride's maid, although she was dressed in our attire ...

The Dawat does need reforms. What kind, issues of reforms is what we should debate and try to have a shortlist possibly by identifying key reforms from discussion and its importance - we could use ranked survey issue and weight given. A suggestion we can have educational level as a demographic surve...

I believe it is time for us to remove the purdah on our minds and accept the Mujudan Hazir Imam Shah Karim Al Husseini as the Imam- Our Zuhur for us will have occurred, as the Nizari line of Imam's is the only line protected by Allah, all other lines had to go into occultation or seclusion. The succ...

Lets us all re-think our faith and the basis on which it is founded. As Muslims first, then as Shia's then as Ismaili's - Does Allah not that the capacity to protect by Divine Will the rightful line of Imam's? He does is my Belief like when he protected the Kaaba (Surah Fil in the Quran) Why has the...

The Amman Message (Arabic: رسالة عمان‎) is a statement which was issued on 9 November 2004 (27th of Ramadan 1425 AH) by King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein of Jordan, calling for tolerance and unity in the Muslim world.[1] Subsequently, a three-point ruling was issued by 200 Islamic scholars from over 5...

What you are saying those who went astray refers to Christians and Jews, is this explicitly stated or an interpretation of scholars (who may be representing a geo-political stance or a power play) hence widely believed in certain quarters to be true? So Scholars (Unnamed) claim to be exclusive inter...

Our community is besieged by fear so even when we realize where is Haqq we start wondering what will happen when anyone dies in the family, where will we pray namaaz during Ramadan and Eid's, Muharam majlises etc. These fears are the same for both the public and the Kasre Ahli and Baite Ziani, many ...

Abdeali BS at that point in time was like all of us was not aware of the Khaagi NASS done on his father, he was saying what was politically correct at that time to the best of his knowledge. The truth at that level.

Islamic Finance is one of my main interests in life. I am inquisitive about 3 things in this post about using Islamic Finance products namely:- 1) Do we bank and buy insurance products from Sharia compliant Islamic Finance financial institutions? 2) What drives the choices we make to buy or not to b...

" Rashidun Caliphs. However, many Sunni Muslim historians, such as Suyuti, Ibn al-Arabi, and Ibn Kathir accept Hasan ibn Ali as the last such caliph.[17][18]" Based on the above, early Sunni historians also recognise the short reign of Imam Hassan ibne Ali (AS) as the 5th and last Rightly ...

Milad un Nabi should not be called Eid as it is not a religious event. We all know society is dynamic, that's why in each time period we have a guide, to enable us navigate through the challenges of our times. Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) is the messenger of Allah and the seal of Prophets and we recogniz...

How I see the issue about the succession dispute for the 53rd Dai of our Community the Dawoodi Bohra's and why I feel the Mazoom of Sydna Mohamed Burhanuddin (RA), Syedi Khuzeima Qutbudin (TUS) is on the right i.e Haqq. The succession dispute should be seen from the angle of what is right (Haqq) rat...
