Dawoodi Bohra Forum

Shapur, Don't put all your eggs in conspiracy basket. Before accusing others of being gullible who is to say that you've not swallowed down the counter-conspiracy conspiracy of the Wahabis. Once you set out on the path of conspiracy it soon turns slippery and you end up in a bog of escapism. Arguab...

Kahin "lets reach out" kehte kehte you guys dont instead reach out (of the forum) and become out of reach. There have been a lot of such"aaya rams" and "gaya rams" post the HT episode who have walked in enthusiatically but just made a ramp walk and embraced the thin air...

Bhai husain9152 ( you could've given your full mobile no. itself) ,

Its " Faiz-e- Mawaid- e- Burhaniyah. "

Please elongate if you have to, but don't shorten it. The longer the merrier ( vide wise_guy's exhibit above).

Brother, Like I said every small act is sparked off by a mind-set which has been willy-nilly created by seeing the colors which the conspirators paint us with. They make us see the colors they want us to see. After seeing the strong conviction with which you believe its wahabi conspiracy everywhere ...

if there are none there, he can become his own vali mulla and start collecting taxes, granting raza, observing dai's salgirah etc, from and by himself! what bliss! Or he can go to St.Albans instead and join in with ben ateka's family. That way, there will be a "sadar' too to operate in his abs...

First Karachi and now Amman. The Dawat must take immediate step to make sure that this sort of thing does not happen again. How ? Perhaps they could import a 100-odd gurkhas and post 2/3 at each center . The Govts of whole nations are at a loss to counter and prevent these acts of the grand nefario...

The above 20-odd words highlighted by truthseeker show that its arabic, arabic all the way which is commendable. But a curious question arises :- why is it then that the most important, oft-repeated word- "God"- always mentioned in Persian either as "khuda" or "parwardigar&q...

Shapur, It's not retaliation (in self-defense) I'm against. It's unnecessary brutality . There's nothing you've pointed out I've disagreed with. Perhaps it's the interpretation of how one's allowed to respond. Does the Quran say hacking someone to pieces and denying them a place of burial is allowe...

Brother Grayson, I have chimed into this mainly because I got the feeling that you believe that this attitude of retaliation is unique to Muslims alone. Whereas its the order of the day more in the non-Muslim world. The US's act of hunting down whole nations in the guise of going after the"terr...

This is amazing. Hope some such rabbi emerges in Israel too which is shockingly bereft of sane voices.
Can some link be provided to the topic which could be shared with many ?

Doesn't matter who commits what. If it's vicious and unintelligent, it's abominable. Both the provocation and the retaliation. But the fact is that such incidents are all that we hear of in the world today. So whats the recourse supposed to be for the victimised ? And it's still not right. Those ac...

Are you sure Imam Jafar 's daughter's name was Aisha ?? /quote] did you know that among ali's sons were abubakar bin ali, usman bin ali and umar bin ali? and that they were among the 72 shohoda of kerbala? Frankly, I did'nt know that. Its hard to digest that this is not dished out just because of t...

Are you sure Imam Jafar 's daughter's name was Aisha ?? He was the 5th generation descendant of the prophet and must have been well aware of the politics played after the prophet's death- yet he chose to name his daughter after the "usurper's" daughter's name ! What does this imply ? From ...

Bro. Muslimfirst :- JAK for correction. I am posting from hospital room where I am getting clean up job for my Implanted assist device. Must be too many meds. No wonder there are no posts from you since some 10 days now, I guess. In fact when JC and Spring went ga (y)- ga (y) over your "same se...

Its nice to see Ben Ateka's likes for Conscious and Wise_guy's posts which could mean that she has used their tips to track down Bohris in St.Albans. That gives us great joy indeed.

Br. Muslimfirst :- There was no Shia sunni division for nearly 100 years so I do not understand why Shia believe prophet's noor was created first and other 240000 prophets came later etc. Please post actual Shia Hadith and comparable sunni Hadith. Firstly, a small correction (maybe big) : its actual...

Br. Aymelek's quote :- Br. Shapur, Shia Islam and Sunni Islam (leaving aside Wahabis) believe in the noorani aspect of Prophethood and in theology looks at the Prophet as a Noor who came as human in flesh and blood just to be a Guide to mankind. While I agree with you that we should not digress from...

Even the prophet became a Muslim and a believer only at 40. Br. Shapur, So wat was prophet before age of 40, was he a non-believer?? Please clarify... We Shias believe it otherwise. Br. Aymelek, I do not know why you have made the statement "WE SHIAS......." in an exclusive sense. Am I to...

“And by my conversion to Islam I have the feeling that I finally found my path. I realize that this is a new start and that I still have much to learn as well.”
Even the prophet became a Muslim and a believer only at 40.
Allah be praised. This quote of Van Doorn needs to be spread far and wide.

Apologies for my attempt of Hindi/Urdu: Jhagda to hoga. Aur hota hain. Lekin uska bhi tariqa hain. Ghussa aur gaali ki zaruri nai hai. Aaj rasul ka zamaan bhi nai hai, jisme haq ka dalil apunka saamne hai. Islam itna pehla huwa ke baad log unke haq personal samajh per lehta hai. Aur jo log ye maant...

Ben Ateka, while you have moved into St.Albans, looks like your query has moved into "the lighter side". But whats strange is that inspite of a whopping 395 views in just 3 days ( which is no mean achievement bcos I have never managed to get beyond fifty in 3 months) your post has'nt throw...

Another interesting article forecasting the impending doom on the lines of "global warming","nuclear war","cultural degeneration",etc. Its always the way to go when motivated,surreptitious,dubiously-focussed man-made systems gain popularity and replace God-ordained and ...

Sorry ben Ateka, but with due respect to your query, I just have another curious thought:- What does your moving into St.Albans have to do with the topic" Bohras and reform"? Because this an area where if one posts his punches, the other punches the posts ! Debates where if one hits the fa...

WHERE IS St. Albans ??

Dawood nabi wrote and sang songs and danced. Istanbul is another place where poetry and singing is part of religion. There is music even in jannat. Your music can be an inpiration to others .Use the talent allah has given you. If all the smart people of the world thought like you, there would be no...

Or at least the passage number of Nahjul balagha ??? Or maybe if you are quoting from some of the maula's bayaans, whic...

This is the story of a Rock Star . The man who had name, fame, fans and money and was the leading rock star in Bangladesh. Then man who then responded to the Guidance and left it all for the love of Allah. The man who found the sweetness of Allah's pleasure a far greater reward than the allurement a...

Bro Shapur, Just because North is against USA Muslims cannot side with Kim Jr. The regime in North is oppressive and should be dealt with accordingly. Chavez was better though. If we have to fight or face USA or whosoever we have to put our house in order first, everything else will fall in place t...
