Dawoodi Bohra Forum

This is the state of Bohras today. Much more is not exposed to the media. I tried helping a few through these forums and Alhamdolillah the collective effort did make a difference . much to the disappointment of the PR machinery of the Kothar. They came up with different ID's ridiculing everything th...

The jamaat prices are not inflated. As per the animals size and health. The prices are better then if you go and try to buy the same kind of animal elsewhere. I tried to do it last year on my own but was not successfull. Thankfully a freind who is in the comittee was able to arrange me one sheep jus...

Salaam alikum to all.
Please see my new post under the "zabihat in Ahmedabad" in " what is happening in your jamaat " section .

Salaam Alaikum to all. I have got the figures for the zabihat animals from the Ahmedbad Jamaat. A goat is for RS 8250 and a Sheep is for RS 7250. I consider the price to be very reasonable and fair. The volunteers are a group of dedicated people and do it for the pleasure of Allah. All one has to do...

An excellent suggestion by SBM. We do need this urgently. Please let the non bohras away from this thread.

we dont need anajmi and muslim first on this forum, they have done more harm to bohras discussions then any one else, and if possible on voting basis, Admin shud restrict there posting ability or ban them completely. Have heard "go fly kite?" Brother Have heard of the fatwa issued by the saudi cler...

what a cheat, u get a best deal with goat in rs 5k in Ahmedabad, clear mis use of funds. We can even get a goat for RS 2500 in Ahmedabad. A few months ago I had done a sadaqa of a goat for RS 2500, the meta was meant for a madrassa in Juhapura ( the largest muslim slum in India ), However these goa...

No Bukhari bhai.
Last year the prices were really high. This usually happens every year as the Eid days are near. So last year the jamaat animals turned out cheaper .I was there and did my zabihat there.The animals were also good. This year we still do not know the prices.

Salaam to all. One of the few good things being done by the Jamaat in Ahmedabad is the zabihat programme. Teh volunteers manage everything very well and meat is distributed to all mumins. Last year when the prices of animals had skyrocketed, These volunteer managed to secure goats at RS 8000 and She...

Thanks Maqbool Bhai for making me laugh ,early in the morning !

May Allah give sabr to the departed families and may the injured be cured.
May Allah give peace to all of us.

Why is Nalwalla being dragged into every conversation unnecessarily. You must have noticed that he is not active anymore. There can be many reasons for that. He might have been reprimanded by his Amil and so he decided to stay low. Or perhaps he has now realised that things are really wrong. He alwa...

@ Fateh Bhai, Shaikh Adam Abuwala was not a shaikh. In fact he was quite modern in his views. His first name was Shaikh Adam. His sister and other family members still live in Jamalpur , Ahmedabad. A lot of his books that he owned have been donated to the university by sister ( Batul Bain ). He was ...

I liked your earlier name "rabeha Solar " better.

Dear Bohraji, I highly appreciate your efforts. May you receive good rewards in this world and in hereafter. This is my motto or philosophy that a complete Muslim is a blessing to his/her society. I feel that you are fortunate that Allah gave you the opportunity for good deed and you responded to i...

@ Suf Monk.

@SUFI MONK.
You still have not replied to my query. The people I am talking about do not have the means to send a mail.
Can you help them directly.

Salaam Alaikum, I know of a few families in Ahmedabad who could use your help. They do not know me nor I know them personally. But for sure they need help. I do not have their contact numbers. I can give you the names and the mohalla where they stay. It will be very easy for you to find them. Plus t...

Salaam Alaikum everybody, I was informed yesterday that a non bohra muslim lady whom we were helping passed away. The lady was poor and suffering from cancer. Each treatment was costing RS 10,000. A non bohra muslim friend of mine from Gandhinagar was helping her regularly . In ramadan we were appro...

Dear GM Bhai,
Salaam alaikum,
I totally agree with you on the moharram locations. In fact I call them tamashaas.
However it does not negate what I have said about the non bohra muslims.

Dear MF Bhai , Salaam Alikum. Inshallah we will try to meet in Ahmedabd one day. I will ,Inshallah I will take you to the famed bhatyaar gali for delicious muslim fare in not so grand surroundings and if we are able to brave it in the early morning , then we should also go to kalopur to have baara h...

Salaam Alaikum to all. I agree with the views of Plumber bhai. I have know muslims from Kerala, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Kashmir, Delhi, MP, Up etc as well as from Pakistan and the Middle East. Unfortunately what Plumber bhai has said, applies to most of them. There is no tahara ,Paaki, saafi at all. Th...

@ yusuf, Unfortunately most of the bohras are not highly educated. You will be surprised to know that I had met youg bohra boys in Kuwait,from Rajasthan who were forced out of SY B COM because their kuwait visa had arrived, They would work as phera walas, This was in 1997. Unfortunately much has not...

I had raised this topic years ago. I have seen the living conditions of bohra bachelors in UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain. Bahrain is better off because of the lower rent ,but with the new rules we may never know. Places in the UAE were the worst. However ,now with economy going down, the rents have come d...

Salaam Alaikum. Eid Mubarak to everyone on the forum. My appollogies for not wishing earlier. It has surely been an eventfull Ramadan and a joyous Eid for many due to the noble efforts of the Admin and all those who contributed to this thread. All have requested to be annonymous so I will not name t...

It is quite common in our community for people to read one Para in 15 minutes. We have these old ladies who will normally read out a yaseen or khatam at a price. This is usually done by poor ladies and Mulla Saahebs withlimited income. They call the renumeration "Hadya" or gift,as a price cannot be ...

Dedicated to the abdes.
JUST RELAX AND THINK FOR A WHILE, CONTEMPLATE.
