Re: Founder of Fatimid Dynasty

Jam_and_pee_in_sand,

Thanks for advise. I took it and got English classes.

If you did not understand my post, you need to clear your guts. Too much jaman stuck in there. I suggest a heavy dose of Epsom Salt.

Re: Founder of Fatimid Dynasty

Jaman na-pasand, Your scholarly reputation is heading ever more south day by day. Kalim meant the next appointed Imam after Ismail was Muhammad. That is because Ismail, before he died, had appointed his son Muhammad to succeed him. If Ismailies accept Ismail predeceased his dad, and they do not, the...

Jamanpasand, I have reluctantly concluded that your scholarly credentials are just about zero. Stick to jaman. At leas...

Re: Toronto Bohri Jamaat Paying RIBA

No one need worry about earning or paying interest as long as the following two strategies are followed: One, undertake to be interest-free, in say, 3 years. At the end of 3 years, plead for extension for a further 3 years. In my experience, this strategy is the one is approved by Jamaat. Two, tell ...

Re: Tawassul or Polytheism

That is really silly, porus! We are not praying to the dead guys while offering tawassul namaaz. We are asking Allah directly to listen to the dead guy's recommendation for us. They are just referees. How do we know the dead guy is going to recommend us? Now, that is a very good question. I know tha...

Re: Najwa for Aqa Moula

Oh, Spot. It is so obvious. Ayaz saw "Bunty and Babli" and thought his son should marry someone like Rani Mukherjee. Yes, I was there with him when we saw it together. Since Rani is Hindu, he thought he will attract someone like her if he called him Bunty. I suggested Bounty, a more attrac...

Re: Abt Nikah in Islam

Jawahar, That was a joke. Didn't you get it? Don't take it too hard. Seriously though, it is always possible to marry a Bohra girl. Adopt the Bohra religion if you must. I am sure the girl you are interested in will help you contact the appropriate channels in her community. I assume you both love e...

Re: Abt Nikah in Islam

Jawahar, Marrying a Sunni is bad enough. Marrying a Shia is worse. Marrying a Mushrik, a Bohra, is the worst. So, if you want to please God, do not even think about it. As you can guess, I am a born again Wahhabi, dedicated to restore Islam to its 7th century purity. However, if you can force this B...

Re: Please ask India's President to stop his visit to Bomb

That is because each floor height from floor to ceiling is designed to be 52 feet in keeping with the Fatemi tradition of tall tales. :D
