Dawoodi Bohra Forum

Our present Dai has remained weak and position hungary since begining. His mother was killed by poisioning and her entire family opposed her husband, Sayedna Taher Saifuddin and walked out off Badri and Saifee Mahal but he remained with the killers of her mother. He played in the hands of his crual ...

Asking progressives to branch out is like telling Imam Husain either give beyat (Misaq or oath of alligience to the Muslim Khalifa) or branch out from Islam.
Like today's opportunist Bohras if Imam Husain had joined hands with Yazid he would have given a high position in Yazid's darbar and would ...

On oneside a Dawoodi Bohra is NOT accepted as a Dawoodi Bohra unless he gives Misaq to Daiz-Zaman at the age of 15 or 18 years and on otherside they do not forget to charge Wajebat even on Hamal (unborn babies) and they call it Religion!
Kothar has lost court cases on this account as they had no ...

In our advise to MH we are forgetting the duty of a head of the community who collects in crores of rupees every year, spends it on his luxury and glory, but does nothing for the community. Asking Allah is fine but not questioning Dai is wrong. We have come to this stage because we never dared to ...

Why should Sayedna or his establishment bother for the sufferings of Iraqis when they are not bother for sufferings of their own followers, who contribute their hard earn money for the upkeep of these exploiters.
Sayedna did not care for the Dawoodi Bohras who suffered in Gujarat earth-quack. When ...

Photograph of Hindu priest Murari Bapu, writing 'Shree Ram' on the chest of Abbas bhai of Dandi in Gujarat had appeared in Gujarati daily Gujarat Mitr in its issue of Wednesday, 28th January 2004. Behind him are numbers of other Bohras in traditional dress waiting for their turn to get Shree Ram ...

Last night I met a couple at Santacruz, Bombay which had just returned from Dubai Tamasha. This couple had gone to Dubai through Faize-Husaini and had paid Rs. 8000 extra for going to Karbala from Dubai but because of bom-explosion at Karbala the trip was postpond but they refused to return Rs. 8000 ...

Some Bohras coming back from Dubai to Bombay are narrating the stories of their sufferings during stay in Dubai like accommodation, food and booking for their return etc. Will someone in Dubai or participating in Dubai can throw some more light on this?
I am told that Dubai's Jamaat is filthy rich ...

The Dai has a right to curse WHOEVER did zulm-o-sitam on Ahle bait.
Brother WYP! If our beloved Dai-ul-Mutlaq is right in cuesing the Khalifas then he should have not submitted a written appology on Dawat's letter head with his signature and certified by the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Shree ...

Brother mumin you have rightly quoted that:
The shan of the Rasool was that an old women threw dirt on him but he went to visit her when she got sick. There was no cursing.
But our beloved Daiz-Zaman cannot tolerate even Dr. Asghar Ali Engineer traveling with him in the same aircraft and so his ...

Friends! Very few people have Self-accusation or self-criticism spirit. Though this quality is a must for self-improvement and progress.
Believing in the system of Fatemi Dawat and Dai as the official head of that Dawat does not stop any one from criticizing officials when they mislead an entire ...

GREED as a driving force has no match. At the advanced age of 92 years Sayedna Saheb is always on march. He organises huge gatherings in far away places like, Egypt, Karachi, America, Iraq and now in Dubai and compels thousands of Bohras all over the world to go there. The holy months of Ramadan and ...

As I said in the beginning "Any transformation necessarily brings with it conflict and confusion, pain and penalty." Technological changes can't be an exception. But the very fact that we are using this technological platform to express our views without favour or fear is itself a proof of change of ...

Any transformation necessarily brings with it conflict and confusion, pain and penalty.

The 20th century industrial revolution opened the floodgates of change in the attitudes towards work, family, finance, loyalty and personal beliefs. It brought with it more powerful technologies, faster ...

Our beloved Sayedna Saheb has not contributed an inch of land. He is demolishing the old structures and constructing new mosques on the same land. He also, in the process usurp lots adjoining lands and properties. Also he wipes out name of original doners and acquire new mosques in his name. He also ...

If you are refering to 27th Dai, Sayedna Daud bin Qutub Shah then historically he died a natural death. Though because of some controversy on his sccession issue and split in the community he did go through rough time and remained in hiding for some time. It so happened that after 4 years of his ...

I have gone through current magazines and other propaganda material from Kothar and was surprise to note that this year our beloved Sayedna Saheb celebrated a function like Idul-fiter without inviting any politicians and other social luminaries.
Is it that after his meeting with Modi politicians ...

Brother Khan who gave you this information that the Dawoodi Bohras ignore Friday prayers. No. They definitely do not agnore any prayer. In fact as for as observing the religious obligations like namaz, roza and hajj and reading Quran etc are concerned Dawoodi Bohras are more perticular than other ...

Biwiyan' bewa ho gayeen', Shahzade ho gayai yateem,
Inko dikha raah ek, Rehbare-Quom mar gayaa.
Betul-mal haq jo tha bewaoon' ka yatim ka,
Jaan pe apni khel ke, haqdar inko kar gayaa.

Ulti ho gayee sab tarkeeben', kuchh na riyaa ne kam kiyaa
Merchantile Bank ne dekha, aur tujhe badnam kiyaa

Char shaadiyaan' chhattis bachche, Mulla ne ye kam kiya,
Daulat lootee, Zulm guzare, Qabr mein' ja aaram kiyaa.

Nahaq ye hum Bohron' per ek tohmat kufro-shirk ki hai,
Mulla sara shirk ...

It is a good article. Posted here from the above site for others, especially Matami-Bohras to read and examine their behavior:

Grief and Religion
By Ruqaiyyah Waris Maqsood
Does a person’s religion make any difference to the way they experience death and grief? It depends on their ...

Mismanagement of funds is Kothar's affair. What is a matter of concern for community is charactor of Burhani gaurds and bohra scouts. The very creation of these units are to terrorise the community and keep check on dissidents. Most rowdy and ruffian elements are sellected to be the members of ...

YOU CAN GO AND FIND YOUR OWN RELIGION. THERE ARE THOUSANDS IN THIS WORLD.
Dear friend if you are mumluk786 and not abde-Sayedna then you should know that the very purpose of Dai and Dawal is to discuss and convince people and call them towards true Islam and NOT to throw away people from the ...

3. Understanding the laws of the land so that we can articulate our case to the authorities.
The discussion is healthy and welcome. I fully agree with most of the points raised above.
I am not a lawyer but I think with number of people coming out in open defiance of Kothar's high-handedness, the ...

Luta mat apni poon'ji ko, agar Mulla teraa chahe,
ke Bohra khaak aur Mulla gule-gulzar hota hai.

Munazzam kar jamaa'at ko, ke her scheme se phehle,
khud he Aamil tujhe pooche, bata teri raza kiya hai?
