Dawoodi Bohra Forum

Hope everyone is doing fine and keeping safe. I'm working from home too, I suggest use this time to read a lot and do some meditation and exercise. Maybe it's time for introspection and consider our place in this world and what we have done to it. I know entertainment is important but pls do not was...

My question and surprise were only rhetorical, Biradar. Of course you knew that! Regarding SMB, just want to add that he not only hobnobbed with Modi but also with thugs like Bal Thackeray. The Qutbi gang has such a rosy view of SMB era as though it were some golden era of Bohra history. They forget...

Wow Qadir, you are a true representative of your leader: callous, insensitive and selfish and not to mention totally thick in the head. Don't justify Muffy's action by some irrelevant historical facts. Those times were different, religious wars and alliances with the enemies were common. Our times a...

Brother YFM you seem to be a good sort but terribly traumatized and a little confused. Let me make it simple for you. The way a Dai helps you in your kabar is not by making an appearance to your corpse but by showing you the right path in This life, such that when your body rests in the kabar and y...

My friend don't be naive, the Imam is their trade secret! Without him the business will close!

Now you guys are being unreasonable! If you had a flourishing family business would you ever make a random outsider a partner in your business? Of course not! So why do you expect these people to be different?

When I said “driven by hate” I was not painting all progressives with the same brush but rather referring to the few on this forum, such as our virus who only spew baseless hateful messages. You were equally blithe in calling us hate filled. What I find curious is that the progressives continue to ...

Hamsafar I know where you are coming from. You want us to denigrate SMB for the acts that were carried out in his name. I am not privy to all the facts around what happened then. From what I have read here, indeed unspeakable acts were committed by some nefarious elements in SMB's dawat - no doubt ...

The difference is that my comments are rooted in fact. When you consider that MS followers have been seen seen licking spoons like monkeys, breaking up toilets and dictating what others can eat, my comment was not off the mark. Qadir’s were not rooted in any fact and stemmed from ignorance. And the...

SBM bhai Have you seen the video? How do you know it is the Kothar and not some ordinary mumineen? Chalo, accepted that they could not have done it without the expressed approval of the Kothar, but what is wrong in celebrating Independance Day and raising the National Flag? I see absolutely no reas...

Eid Mubarak everyone! Hope you all had a blessed Ramzan! Let's pray for peace and happiness in the world.

On an aside, its been so long since we last saw you here. or did i miss some of your earlier posts perhaps? By the way, would you know where the others are, especially Al Zulfiquar and Porus? If you are in touch with them, let them know that they are missed Hello zinger, I have not been contributin...

Haha! Good one Biradar! You are so right! Jealousy is the first emotion that strikes my heart like a dagger when I see these kids and their spiritual Rehnuma Muffy More-La.

So true, kah ni kah pohchavi dida!!! These kids are the living, talking example of the stupidity they are mouthing. When they grow up, if they grow up, I hope they become ashamed of their pantomime. This Mufaddal and this mafia clergy has reduced decent, sensible human being into slobbering, mindles...

Biradar, your characterisation of Bohra men as "bai-la" is spot on. Once you have been bamboozled into calling yourself as "abde" there's not much room left for reason or spunk. Your brain is as dead as a dodo, and the spine is as straight as a wet noodle. And the thing is, the m...

Today is March 1. In Udaipur we reformists commemorate it as a Black Day. On this day women, men and children from Udaipur were attacked in Galiyakot in the presence of Syedna Mohd Burhanuddin, who now in the light of his successor, the buffoon Muffy, comes across as benevolent and wise. But make no...

Is the Progressive movement called Sacchai ni movement? I was not aware. seriously?now tats most hilarious joke on tis forum.i am yet to find 1 post with sacchai Is this the high point of your humour? Is this what tickles you? Your worshipers of Taghut, you worshipers of lies, you wouldn't know &qu...

ofcourse it was staged. dont u know that modi has special hotline with masood azhar? then we complain why religious conservatism is on rise in the world. bloody hypocrites. This is off topic, but the timing of the attack and the imminent elections -- where Modi's prospects are not so stellar -- rai...

Arwa Qutbuddin has a book of poems "Water My Soul: Reflections in poetry". You can get it on Kindle. Some of the poems reflect on her grief, on the loss of her father, the loss of her children and the turmoil their family is going through. She says that when she visits her children in Fam...

Don't provoke insane people, Humsafar. It is possible that this "Babu Shia" is non other than Chela al-Awaal of the mad fanatic Ahmed Ali Raj. Best to only touch fanatics and insane people with a 10 ft pole. If one must. You are probably right :D . But I am curious to know what possible m...

Hmm interesting. Care to explain how.

It is only fitting that one remembers at this time Mirza Ghalib's couplet in which he laments the hardships in this world: Kaid-e-hayaat aur banda-e-gham, asal me dono ake hae, Moat se pehle aadmi gham se najaat paye kyon? I hope that he finds najaat in the presence of the Prophet and lives eternal...

With the passing of Saifuddin Insaf saheb another reformist stalwart is gone. I have not met anyone who was so passionate about the cause of reform. He had connections inside Kothar and had watched the "royal family" up close from an young age. He knew their secrets and their private rival...

It is sad and I have to grudgingly admit that it is true. I agree with Biradar's points for most parts. I think the biggest failure of the Movement was not being able to respond smartly to the mafia clergy's consolidation of the community which they astutely began soon after the Udaipur revolt in 19...

mushrik.jpg It appears to me that Mufaddal Saifuddin has done befarmani of his own mother by bringing the mushrik Butcher of Muslemeen of Gujrat to the masjid. A page from Busaheba's sahifa 8) 8) 8) She instructs us not to bring any mushrik to a masjid, let alone one who has the blood of Muslemeen ...

Absolutely, Biradar. Every time you think that the Iblis Toli has touched the nadir, that they cannot fall any further, they spring a surprise. My mind really boggles at their utter shamelessness. And look at the jahil Bohras, how they lap it all up like those keyed-up toys who play their programmed...

I hope not a situation arises with any of us where people have to find food on road, and where you do not have the luxury to choose if it is left from a dogs mouth or a human, just the condition in syria and yemen, every grain of food is utmost important, alot of people here are in the Guroor of i ...

I wont sign this petition for 2 reasons. 1) no one is forced to pay this amount which is mentioned in first post, and no one actually can force any one to pay any thing. 2) those who are inviting they are inviting by their own and I respect their freedom for life. My friend, we expect nothing bette...

Can someone please send me the link to the petition. I tried signing the petition through the link in the posts; but it does not send me an acknowledgement to my email. Please help!
