Dawoodi Bohra Forum

Thank you Sis Munira for your explanation. My posting was in reply to Br Zinger and others who always keep on saying that Imam is in hiding due to safety reasons on his life U r welcome. I like to share following point, Ithna Asheri contends their Imam is hiding because of life threat: They strongl...

Well Imam can be safe in IRAN, a shia power with Nukes. I am sure Iranians will give their life to protect the life of the Imam. So this argument that Imam's life is danger does not hold too much water given the Geo Political landscape. Let us look at this way. Narendra Modi after Gujarat Riots had...

Help will surely be given to those who sincerely inquire and are willing to learn. Asking questions is must for learning and evolving.

I have asked this question in the past, is “hiddenness” of Imam part or centre of bohra belief ? there is no conclusive discussion. However there are glaring examples of how “hiddenness” of Imam is exploited / used as a major tool to oppress and loot commoners for greed of power and wealth. At the ...

Those following 2nd are not astray cause the Quran and Sunnah is sufficient for them. Sura Nisa: 113, says Prophet Mohamed pbuh knows everything (of course with exception of knowledge reserved only for Allah) - followers of 2nd disobey above dictum of Quran by degrading Mohamed PBUH with charges of...

Q) Who is Muslim? A) One who obey and follow Mohamed PBUH. Mohamed PBUH command) He asked for pen and tablet so he can write so Muslim do not go astray. Hazrat 2nd sahib response) Will not let you have pen and tablet. You are gone lunatic/out of mind. (Reference: Sahih Muslim). As Hz. 2nd sahib has ...

Being a dumb on religion my question if Prophet was literate why the first Surah of the Quran which was revealed to him was "IQRA"? Did not Allaha knew that Prophet was literate and he could read and write? Good question SBM Bhai. At time when first Qur'an verse of "Iqraab" was ...

Actually, the hadith doesn't support his literacy. Since, he didn't actually write anything down. He asked for a paper to write, but since people knew he couldn't actually write, they thought he was out of his mind. 1. Prophet Mohamed PBUH says and do only as Allah wants him to say and do. 2. When ...

Dear Golam Mohamed, GM's argument - bone of contention - (1) Sura Aaraf: 157 & 158, (2) Sura Ankaboot: 48 In both above verses - Mohamed PBUH is referred by GM as illiterate. Lets assume he is correct. Munira's argument - bone of contention - Sura Nisa: 113 (Allah says: Allah taught thee (Moham...

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 7 Surah Aaraf verses 157-158: 157 "Those who follow the Messenger, the ‘Ummi’ (unlettered) Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (Scriptures); in the Law and the Gospel; for he commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil: he allows the...

Quran, Sura Nisa, verse 113: But for the Grace of God ........sent down to thee the Book and wisdom and taught thee what thou Knewest not (before): Inserting '(before)' in the above translation is an unjustified interpretation and comment. It is best to translate accurately first and then interpret...

Allah has revealed a book describing himself. Has your Imam revealed any book describing himself? Yes, like Mohamed PBUH revealed verses and they were penned by 'kaatib-a-wahi' = Quran, in the same manner Syyedna Imam Moiz (A) revealed knowledge and that was penned by Syyedi Qazi Noman = Daimul Isl...

In common sense it seems not possible that a person who claim to be "City of Knowledge" doesn't even have the basics of knowledge = how to read/write! Thus non-Bohras dogmas are unintelligent and erroneous, where else dogmas of Bohras are in line with Quran, Hadith and appeals to intellig...

munira bohra is a truly stupid sect. you believe in an imam uz zaman that hasn't shown his face in 300 years. in fact everything you called non bohras is what bohras are. stupid and irrational. if you truly believe in your stupid dai concept than you are stupid.believing in your fairy tail fatemi b...

Dear Munira RV Kindly correct your self as Khoja Shia or Ithnasheri always believe that Prophet Muhammad PBUH was literate. In their majlises ( i have attended myself) have heard this. For references you can search for Majlis videos of Allama Talib Johri, Allama Zameer Akter Naqvi, Dr. Kalbain Sadi...

Dear Members I would like to ask, Who should offer animal sacrifice in Eid ul Adha? How should one know that he should do animal sacrifice? What is the criteria? Is it Fard? Is it wajib? Is it mustahab? Please if you have knowledge please educate me. In the library section of this website, refer to...

Hi Munira, With new generation taking over more responsibilities, things are improving this side. But we ismailis (Bohras and Nizaris) are so small in numbers making a big change is tough. We need a lot more Aga Khans, Bohra Dawats, Edhis to reach everyone. Hopefully in coming decades we will see m...

Dawoodi Bohras dogma: Mohamed PBUH is literate and have knowledge of reading/writing Arabic. All non-Bohras like Sunni, Ithna Asheri, etc believes: Prophet Mohamed PBUH was 'ummi' i.e. illiterate and didn't have knowledge of reading and writing. Quran, Sura Nisa, verse 113: But for the Grace of God ...

Keep the good work up. Hope these activities are pursued not for profit. Before baap-beta (TS & MB), for past seven hundred years; the Dawoodi Bohras were the single most beneficent community in India which can be proven from the 'Shahi Farman' issued by Mughal Emperor Humanyu. And similar royal...

I have been to Mehfile Murtraza, [2] Shah e Khurasaan and other Imam Bargahs in Karachi on many occasions. They keep all these things which you have mentioned in the Roza's only and not in the Masjid. Infact I have seen pictures hanging on the wall in Karachi Taheri Masjid Saddar. while offering Na...

Bringing Imam into it is irrelevant and clearly very mischievous. Actually, the Imam is right in the center of it. What was the decision of the Imam? Obviously, no one knows. Hence we have to go a hindu judge. How would the judge know? Either he is receiving "ilhaam" from the Imam or he i...

Should Muslim have followed one Ameer appointed by Mohamed PBUH - then today there would have been no different interpretations of Quran. Remember Mohamed PBUH said, "I'm leaving two bulky assets among you, one Quran and second Ahlyul Bayt, both go together." What happened to the Shiaas w...

Prophet Mohamed PBUH and Hazrat Abu Bakr too went hiding at the time of Hijrat to save their life from Prophet enemies. So per your yardstick both are cowards! Forty out of 63 years (63.5%) of Prophet Mohamed PBUH life, he remain in seclusion like Fatimi Imam of current time is. Mola Ali (A) was giv...

People sometimes insist that the correct interpretation of the Quran is the one that is being followed by the terrorists. Well, there is nothing I can do to change their minds. There is no need to change the interpretation of the Quran. Cause every interpretation will result in the creation of a fe...

Dear Saeed al Khair, Fact of matter is: Ithna Asheri's in their mosque keeps idols of horse, Imam Hussain (A), jhoola, aluminium panja, taboot, etc - all garlanded and scent sticks are burned near by, thus they have converted their Imambadas into Mandir. You will not find such things in mosque servi...

Dear Morela, only one question to you: Why there is solid grave/structure (dargah) over the burial place of Prophet Mohamed PBUH? One should do what Prophet PBUH did, that is only called Sunnat. So having dargah of saints and martyrs is indeed practicing Sunnat of Prophet PBUH. So either Bukhari &am...

Akhtiar Wahid, 1. Can you show where Bukhari or Muslim says, "Do not visit grave of your passed one"? 2. Which book of Bohras says, "Worship graves"? 3. Why do Salafi/Wahabi or your alike kiss a stone (Hajre aswad)?! That stone has no life, oh! u r committing shirk per your own s...

My question is after 46 Duatul Mutleqeen this is daur e fatrat , is it included in Daur Satar (7000 years) or it is separate.

Currently we are in "Daur-a-Satr". We are at tail end of Satr.

Anajmi Bhai,

Then why Hz. Abubakr did nuss on Hz. Omar to appoint him as his successor?
