Re: Khuzema Qutbuddin (and related topics) - 2015

According to Adam, a Dai can appoint an impostor in one of those positions and keep him there for 50 years and that's allowed by our glorious daawat texts. True. Not just according to me. Rasulullah SAW did the same, and kept them in much higher positions than the Mazoon. Saif53 now that you are ba...

Re: Bohra Ramzan -2015 and related topics

You can use the fatemidawat provided vajebaat calculations and compare that to what you are being told how to calculate (if that's even happening in any systematic way) by your Amil or what's preached by latest fatwa from SMS toli. It's not all black and white between SKQ and SMS. Changing the cultu...

They are normal in presence of non- bohras. Only in presence of bohras, they lose their social skills, their humanity and character and they adopt their monarchy- type accent and flair.
