Dear MKenya: Dabba scheme is short for the fancy name of Faiz ul Mawaid il Burhaniya. This scheme was started by the Mansoos about 2 years ago, where in if 100 people pay to receive food (cooked and supplied by the jamat either 3 days or 5 days) then from this money 150 people can be served. The ext...

Badrijanab:

I don't have the foggiest idea as to how and where to check for your PM??

Badrijanab: Don't know the answers to many of your questions but one thing I know for sure that 2 families in qasr e aali are quite accomplished 1) Mazoon saheb's all children) I think he has 5 or6) are jamea graduates and have also done PhDs in Egypt or USA or UK or in the process of doing it. one ...

What is the difference in a nikah by a regular aamil and a zaada or a qasr e aali dude?? as long as both are doing it with the Dai's raza, they should be equal except for the hefty salaam afterwards. By tripping over themselves in their haste to do the nikah by a zaada or qasr e aali they are showin...

Dear Badrijanab: I live near Houston, Texas and not in India. So how do I go about getting these books. I had been to India and Udaipur recently within a year and now I have no plans to go again very soon. Is the address for this shop available or handy with you so I can write to them and get them, ...

I can understand if there is no translation of Quran according to the Dawoodi Bohra religion as Taweel gets involved in it which they want to keep secret and that way they can interpret any ayat 10 different ways to suit their theme of the waez. But there are more in the religion of Islam for us to ...

Muffadal Mola is coming down hard on women lately and also giving contradictory farmans. He said at one time for men to put their women out of their homes if they don't wear ridas, he said women should not work in call centers what if that is the only source of income for the whole family? Is jamaat...

Badrijanab :

Please don't equate kissing the Quran or Hajar e Aswad to kissing of graves or hands and feet of humans or even their socks, they are two different things just like sleeping with your wife or sleeping with a prostitute, same action but different results.

Bro GM : Did you know that the Mansoos had a second wife for a short period who was the daughter of the current Mazoon saheb. But it ended in divorce because his first wife did not accept her or support him. May be he is saying all this from his own experience.

Dawoodi Bohras are not meek and/or stupid. it is easy for people to call you such names when you are down and out. The Dawoodi bohras (the Davids) collectively have been bound and gagged for last 30-40 years, they have no weapon to fight with, all is in the hands of (or in favor of ) the Goliath. Al...

Humsafar wrote: I don't think a Dai can do nuss on two succeeding Dais. He sure can, and this has already happened in our history. The 25th Dai Syedna Jalal Shamsuddin did Nass on Dawoodain, meaning the 26th Dai and the 27th Dai both were named Dawood. One was Ajab Shah and the other was Qutub shah.

I am sorry to disappoint you all with the latest news from Mumbai that there will be no Qutbi bohras. Mazoon saheb who was in USA left for India a week ago and has written a rebuttal to the Hindustan Times that he has accepted the Nass on Mufaddal Bhaisaheb Saifuddin. So all of you who were ready to...

Another source for exposing the Money laundering and other human rights issues of the Kothar is the Sabrang.com, you type Syedna in the research column and get a lot of his misddeeds chronicled there, for example here is one:

The Dawat is not dealing in nickles & dimes, they deal in Millions of $$$$, the ameen (of dawat or the person in charge of collecting money from all jamaat in a country) sits on a pile of money and has help from Wall Street lawyers and tax preparers. They know all the loop holes better than you ...

Prophets and other religious sages introduce certain outwardly visible things to identify our people VS other people. At one time may be the beard was needed, however Rasulullah SA introducing beard to identify muslims from jews makes no sense because jews had longer beards than muslims in those day...

OMG!!!! Husafar, what is wrong with you that you expect them to do such a thing as dodging taxes. NOoOO, they invest in Real Estate everywhere in the world in all big cities they have properties worth millions and Billions incl. Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkatta, London, NY, Houston, Los Angeles, Paris, swi...

The title of this thread indicates as if we the power to tame the Kothar!!!!???? The best we can do is to keep doing what we are doing, which is making people making aware of what is going on, one soul at a time and providing the freedom even to people like Progticide to come here and fart. In our e...

AZ wrote: "so it is najis and haram to eat food touched by hindus, but ok to employ them as accountants in our jamaats? what about the highly paid financial advisors working behind the scenes for the kothar, the PR and media experts? what about the hundreds of properties owned by syedna and his...

All Farmans have high sounding taweel words to confuse the hoi polloi (s) and really obfucate the issue at hand.
"How strangely will the tools of a tyrant pervert the plain meaning of words." - Samuel Adams

Another few examples of "how low can they go"!!!!! Asking wajebat from minor children of the madrassa knowing they are minors, knowing they don't earn anything and knowing it is not wajib on them. Asking minor kids to submit fakhir raqm salaams for the Dai, Mansoos and the Imam on all idds...

"Many people would sooner die than think; In fact, they do so." -- Bertrand Russell

Bro AZ: Sorry for not being clear in my previous post. I even remember wearing black sherwani and black topi in the days of Moharrum untill I was in late teens or early twenties. And here I am not promoting or supporting the Kothar imposed clothing standards or them making dadhi a faraz while it is ...

The simple answer to your question is ," you can not ". and thats it. The juggernaut that you are talking about is an Octopus, an arm being power of money, and others being power of influence, power of misaq, power of their PR machinery, and of course power of their knowledge et.el. You ca...

Amerul Mumeneen Moulana Ali said to Moulana Kumail , Kumayl says that after this brief dissertation, Amerul Mumeneen Moulana Ali (SA) pointed towards his chest and said, "Look Kumayl! Here I hold stores and treasures of knowledge. I wish I could find somebody to share it with me. Yes, I found a...

people get through your head that Dai is central and imam appointed Dai is central to the Dawoodi Bohra faith. If you don't believe this or if you want to do away with Dai or you want to elect a Dai you don't belong on this Forum and need to find and join a different religion. Having said that, what...

Bros: GM. Humsafar, aNajmim Sajjad: All this discussion about electing or not electing the Dai is useless and meaningless because in the basic tenets of our religion it is the Imam who appoints them. The simple thing that needs to be done is go back to the Misaq prior to the 51 dai. Current Misaq is...

Humsafar: You are forgetting the 7 Daem, and the first one is valayat, which means mohabbat of Allah, Panjatan, Aimmat and Doat, even in quran Allah says somewhere ( acrude translation)," Mohammed don't ask any wage from people except ask for the love of people for you and your relatives" ...

Sorry if you got the impression that I am calling myself mukhlis or abde DB or was condescending towards this forum in anyway, as I have been coming here for several years now, so that makes me not a mukhlis. but what I meant was that there is a history of bad blood between youth group (as progressi...

What we need is a website/ Forum run by the Dawoodi bohras who are very much in the jamaat, e-jamaat card holder, sabeel & wajibaat paying and have contacts in the inner circles of Saifee Mahal and also have in-roads with people of Jamia who would run this forum for the momineen only but run it ...
