Dawoodi Bohra Forum

OMG !!!! I am shocked to read the Rangwala account of the 350 bohras in Jail and the bigger shock is that no one out side of Karachi knows about it. It is amazing how much control the kothar has on the community. None of abde sites mention anything about it. So sad, they don't serve the community. W...

YES, they are real brothers. Normally only one needs to do sadarat, but he is there to collect salaam money to support two wives.

Sorry Bro, the rida was not invented in India, this dubious honor goes to Nairobi, Africa. I had read this little gem in a book by the title of "out of Africa" written by a lady by the name of Rashida Ghadiyali (I am not sure of the first name now), the book gives in detail how the dawoodi...

You and me the Hoi Polloi(s) do. More correctly our women do, I know when my wife when she was alive, she was so devoted to these zadas let alone Aqa Maola that I used to wonder why is she worshiping them? their shit stinks like ours, they put their trousers one leg at a time like we all do, what ma...

What a cacaphony story!!! You must be a dreamer. You think your qasr e aali parents will put you in a boarding school and forget all about you and also let you go to pray in sunni mosque, yeah, yeah, yeah, tell us more stories. I don't think you are anywhere close to qasr e aali, you are just saying...

The reason all these Amils are out of control is that now they are Dais. May be even dai mutlaq. Because we are told that the original dai mutlaq is sitting in the office of imam e zaman. So his own office is empty and all these amils have made themselves comfortable in dai's office. Also all the am...

We all know that the indian and Pakistani Dawoodi bohras are converts from The Hindu religion, and we brought many rituals with us into the our adopted religion, i.e wadhawanu, folding hands in Namaste fashion which Yemeni bohras never practiced until 10 years ago but now they are used to it as well...

Wajihuddin is the name of the person given at birth OR it is the laqab given to him or his dad or grandpa longtime ago and goes down as their inheritance in all male members of the family. Al Had means he is in Hadiyat which means he is a shaikh Anjab is derived from Najeeb Asad is derived from Saee...

Why Pay Sabil: I don't know about any qurani injunction but I think there is a hadees of Rasulullah (SA) that any muslim who comes to Mecca for Haj shall visit my grave. visiting a grave is considered equivalent to Half Mulaqaat. I don't know about my own dead relatives but they say that awliya who ...

MMBukhari: What is there to be shocked about that. For 11 years they are fed by the ilah ul ard, then when they get out from Jamea their lively hood depends on pushing the party line, if they don't promote the things that their brains have been fed with or whatever garbage is hammered into their hea...

Docotr Saheb: The definition of zazira is a body of land surrounded by water all around, Hind, Sindh and Yemen are not zaziras because the have water on only 3 sides and at best can called peninsulas. What proof do you have that Imam said you can not go for Haj after you become Dai??? why would Imam...

Doctor Saheb: My guess is that Adam is paid low-life lackey, jamea educated stuffed shirt (or kurta) who after 11 years of jamea thinks that he has the same knowledge as Dai & Imam (Nauzobillah). Knowing Arabic is not equal to having knowledge (by 4th grade in Jamea they have to answer their pap...

Please don't forget the fact that Imam Moiz was not only Imam for us but he was also the ruler /king of a vast empire and as the king he had to live like a king and maintain the pomp and circumstance of his position. whereas, the dai and his family are not the king or rulers of any empire but love t...

I read this thought for the day and it reminded me of Kothar & Aamils of today. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY! "Any man or woman who neglects to maintain inward vigilance, and only makes an outward show of holiness in dress, speech, and behavior, is a wretched creature. For they watch the doings of o...

I have heard two names of Masahaik who were witness to the nass e jali from 46 to 47th Dai and they are:

Syedi Abdullah Kalimee
syedi Vali Mohammed

Bro Al Zulfiqar : 48r's is a new term to me . never heard of it before and didn't know they existed. I have heard of surtalisiya's (47r's) who parted after the 46th hence their name is surtalisiyas and they are pretty much in Nagpur and got subdivided a few times since their seperation from dawoodis...

If you are a Dawoodi Bohra, please recall all the conditions of Misaq that you said "na'am" to. in one of the conditions you gave you life, body and soul and all your belongings and wealth to the Dai. so if the jaman is from the donations from the monenin then still technically it can be f...

Imam will be an Imam for all Muslim Ummah, not just for Dawoodi Bohras. Of course the Dai is our current leader (in the absence of Imam) so when Dai introduces the Imam to us (the DBs only) then we all will bow down to him in sajda (if he is the true Imam he will stop us from doing sajda), but to th...

The first camera was invented was in 1840 AD, that was the time of the 47th Dai Syedna Abdul Qader Najmuddin and we have his photos, since ther was no camera before him there are no pictures of earlier Dais. There were no cars then so they used to walk or go in horse drawn buggies and lived simple l...

Adam B S : Please don't wait for my answer, I am not in a habit of having useless discussions with a smug 15 year from Saifee Mahal. I just say what I know then I keep quiet. You can call me anything you like,i.e, "supposed proggy" or anything else, it doesn't bother me, I am what I am and...

Dear askz52: There are a lot of stories about this Nass incident (some true and some dreamed up), being so distant in time we can not tell the right from the wrong stories. To my knowledge the 46th Dai did not have a son in law to make him a dai after himself. I agree with you about the accumulation...

47 th Dai is not the son of the 46th, infact they are from 2 different families, however they were very close families and the age difference between 46th and 47th was only 3 years and they both practically grew up together and there was lots of love between them. the Nass was done on 47th properly ...

Adam B s : Don't you have better to do than prowl this site to harass the participants on this board. I am an old man, when I was your age the Dai used to be called " Kal Masoom" which meant " Masoom Jaisa" . I am noticing as I age that the Dai is slowly raised inch by inch towar...

Brother MF

To my knowledge there is no Bhrao kabrastan there, Bohras are buried there with all other brother muslims. No kabar is allowed, and not even a raised stone to indicate where your relative is buried. /this is also true for the king of SA.

let me remind you that three weapons which they use on us, upon opposition is birth , marriage and death Brother askz52: Your quote above is some what correct but those are the occasions when they catch you to obey to their diktats. The most powerful weapon is the Misaq. I have heard from my own ea...

So, who gets the 400 Kg of Gold and lots of Kgs of silver from the old zarih that was installed by our Dai 4 years ago??????? Iran or Iraq or back to Dubai momeneen???

Dai e Nazim means a dai who establishes a nizam, in that sense all dai from #1 to #52 are all Nazims, but in the case of 47th the dai Nazim has different connotation. you are many things like father ,son, brother etc etc, so is a dai, he dai nazim, dai satar and dai mutlaq etc.etc. in that sense if ...

I am one of those who believe that the nass on the 47th Dai was valid and he was dai ul Mutlaq and not a dai e Nazim. if you claim to be a dawoodi bohra then that should be your belief also otherwise you can call yourself a surtalisiyah or anything else but you can not call yourself Dawoodi bohra.
