Dawoodi Bohra Forum

Dear Humanbeing and Stranger -

Thanks you for your comments. Happy to hear about all the positive cultural aspects of being a bohri. As for the negatives especially regarding equality, do you think other young people in the community feel the same? Are you/ they willing to do anything about it or ...

How does being a Bohri give you a special sense of identity (or does it)?
Yes, I do. . Bohras means a peaceful and loving community. you always get treated warmly by outside world.
They finds you friendly and flexible. Simple and honest.

How do you participate in the community?
Not always but ...

Hi Asad

Definitition of democracy has to be understood in proper context, there are various kinds of democracy which exist in this world. Also there are hybrid governance mechanism such as Democratic Monarchy or Leadership Democracy.

No system is a foolproof system, rejecting every system with ...

Thank you for this post.
The first question interested me a lot. Nothing harmful intended, just my POV
How does being a Bohri give you a special sense of identity (or does it)?
For me, "being a Bohra" (I don't use the word Bohri), is completely connected to Belief (in the Imams and Dais ...

I don't think Quran classifies interest. It says interest is haraam. People asked the prophet (saw) that it is the same as business where you produce something for x and sell it for x+y. Interest is the same they said. You give x and then ask for x+y. Allah says in the Quran that making money ...

Salam bhai,Mr.Projicide told that sabeel ,najawa & others money given as per desire of db but truth is if sabeel & other money not paid then amil stop the raza so it clearly a blackmailing.isn't it?
Hi Fateh

To be fair, lets not blanket everything under blackmailing or force.

Sabeel is a ...

Making a show of the contributions made under religious obligations is the worst kind of behaviour. Who are you trying to fool, only yourself.
This worst behaviour is at its peak display at ‘n’ number of Ziyafats, Kadam, Kadambosi etc. Rich sheikhs gloating and boasting about rates of Ziyafat. Who ...

So you are saying that the Dai is running a corrupt organization without having a clue? Not too infallible if he couldn't even select the right kind of people to work for him. The Imam selected him and he selected the kothar? What a shame!!
Bhai every decision of dai is not his own but from hidden ...

i have a new idea or strategy and pardon me for my language as its not too accurate..
since 45 years i hav noticed dat in bohra as we no its pure castism..i mean sheiks , mullahs, khidmatguzars...n each category has a different treatment...as my father was a moallim for so many years till he died ...

I keen to know about bank ,post & mutual fund interests are haram or halal at per the Qur'an

There is a saying pen is mightier than a sword

Gradual change in attitudes a nd mentality is stronger and more potent as it corrodes and weakens the slavish behaviour. If we cannot cause an eruption of mass protests let us create an under current and erode the power of kothar
Bro idea is good but ...

Welcome to the forum bro, you will have good time here. :D

Thou I was never been a hardcore abde but facts and what i am seeing & observing in day to day life in our community, I am afraid, will no longer remain an abde if the situation remains the same. There are many people who are rational and ...

Hi Asad

I m not surprised or shocked to come across people living in state of happiness, security and satisfaction of affiliated to a community. Usually those who are not internet savvy or closely connected to jamaat lead a question free life by shelling out sabeel and negotiated wajebaats. They ...

Actually, i have already expressed my opinion that i do not approve of the wanton act of killing animals for sport, but i guess you are too blind or too close-minded to have read it and understood it, inspite of me openly saying it.


According to orthodox bohra logic..
Hunting animals for sport ...

Progticide, why would you spend so much time and effort on a topic that is a non-issue as far as reformists are concened? Our concerns are more mundane: the lack of accountability and autonomy and the way our communty is being robbed blind by an illegitimate "royal family" and the way un-Islamic ...

salam, GM.i agree with u,but still we have to search for real imam and i believe that imam is already present in the world and guide his followers,we have to just find out and obey him.

There is no need to 'search' for the Imam unless Imam has left instructions for you to do just that.

Consider ...

I am starting this topic with a hope that some genuine intellectual debate would result that would serve to either answer the questions rising out of this topic or generate enquiries within the progressive fold to find answers to these questions. The participants ofcourse are free to post their ...

This Hatim Ali is one isolated individual, he does not represent progressives. But look at the abdes who worship the Dai 24/77 and do "reverse sajda" (one on Al Zulfiqar's most hilarious inventions :D ) to him 24/7. Look at the tamasha of his birthday clebrations, see how they are going out of ...

Hi

Question is, why cant progeny of Imam survive till date ? If the link up till 21st is found, then there would be generation of Imams existing in present world.

Ismaili faith has faced political threat in earlier eras, causing Imams to go in Hiding for safety and survival. Once perceived ...

The point, moron, is that this imposter family and their
parasite children don't even practice Islam. They use
Hindu traditions and astronomy, when they claim to believe
in Allah and the power of Burhanuddin and his crooked face.
They're hypocrites and liars.
And have turned people like you into ...

W salam Fateh

I m no scholar to advise you on your dilemma or concern. But a little suggestion. You can research from various sources within and outside our community to get the link of our bohra faith evolution. You can research internet, this forum, Mulla on the main frame etc. Secret books ...

HI SBM !

Yes you are correct ! but censorship leads to biasness on this forum. However, admin team knows better how to run this initiative. So I m just suggesting. Atleast abdes, progressives and others have some venue to present their views on issues affecting Islam and our way of life.

If ...

miya bhai are too dumb to understand logic behind Imamat.

these topics are discussed in very good length. Do a advance search.
Again bringing up the topic without providing any links or texts from books will not garner any positive response.

And stop trumping every one as Miya bhai. are you not ...

Imam is figment of DB imagenation.

There is no Aya in Qur'an which points need for Imam after Prophet. I challange revert to post one.
and no direct Hadith saying Prophet appointed any body Imam.

You need lot of Gol Gol explainations to reach conclusion that Imam in needed.

So 12vers ha 1000 ...

As we all Dawoodi Bohara proclaim that we are in true sect of Islam that means the Imam is with us.If its true then how all evil acts which are debating most in this forum is possible?

This is nothing bro GM i had seen one of my friend take dust from the photo of maulla in the glass of water & drunk.How ridiculous?

No my dear friend rb that was not ridiculous,if any one took the dust from the ...

Dear abde regressives, see this picture below: why are you making you childern do this? What Bohra belief, what belilef in Islam, what concept of infallibilty of the prothets and dais, what Bohra sources and texts teach you to teach this bevaviour to your children?
