Dawoodi Bohra Forum

Br.Humsafar, It is quite true that when certain kothari agents on this forum dont have a logical answer to certain issues, they try to cover it up by using the general phrase "you're against the community"," you're jealous" etc. It is important for them to understand that we want...

Br.Gulf, I dont have any doubt whatsoever about what you say and I fully believe that the 2 people you named above must have definately paid for the helicopter and other misc expenses. But so is the case with regard to wajebat, mulla/sheikh titles, ziafats, wakf amount for masjid iftedah etc. Here a...

I have stated in my earlier post as to how important is Humanity and that humanity is the very foundation of every religion on this earth. In todays fanatic bohras we see that this basic fundamental requirement is lacking. There are bohras who dole out Rs.27 to Rs.52 lacs just for obtaining a title ...

Br.Mubarak, When Hazrat Ali a.s. was born, our Holy Prpohet Rasul Allah s.a.w. was not in Makkah and he retured to Mecca after 2/3 days. Now from the time of His birth, Hazrat Ali a.s. did not open His eyes and He did so only when Rasul Allah s.a.w. after reaching Makkah went straight to see Hazrat ...

The solution is simple ! Constant remembrance of Allah ! is what is essential now ! and I mean Constant ! The recitation of this sacred name of Allah ( and HE has many other beautiful names also) destroys egoism and as one begins to embrace the "nature' of this sacred Name, thro' Constant remem...

Compare the greatness and simplicity of Hazrat Ali a.s. and His brave and noble sons Imam Hassan a.s. and Imam Hussein a.s. with todays so called rightful spiritual followers and guide, the likes of Taher Saifuddin saab and Burahanuddin saab. Do they have the right to to say "Live like Ali a.s....

I have heard that sometime last week a communal riot broke out in the city of Burhanpur and many shops belonging to the bohra community were systematically looted. Although nothing happened in the Bawa Hakimuddin Mola's durgah premises but bohras visiting the dargah were stranded and had to remain i...

"Zikra" is one more occasion for the kotharis to display their show of strength and project their vice like grip over the bohra community at large. They just need some excuse to gather bohras from all over the globe at one place and show the world how great is "Mola ni shaan". Th...

Br. C. Muslim. Yes I fully agree with you that today bohras have forgotten Allah or to put it correctly, they have been taught to believe that Allah is not that important, Mola is more imp. A true Muslim fears Allah only when He has complete faith in Him that He is the one to whom one has to ultimat...

I remember that since quite many years and even today, Bohras of Zampa Bazaar, Surat look at the sunni muslims in their locality and specially the lower income sunni group with extreme contempt because these bohras have been poisoned by their priestly class that these are Imam Hussain a.s. Qatils an...

One more project is in the offing by M/s.Kothar Developers Ltd., financed (sorry over financed) by Bank of Abde syednas. The project is to construct a Masjid in Vashi as there is none over there. For this, as always, the vashi residents are forced to shell out huge sums. The bare minimum amount is o...

The base, foundation and crux of every religion on this planet is HUMANITY which is a universal truth and yet these so called religous leaders stress upon every other possible thing and rituals that one has to follow in his/her religion except the basic tenet i.e. humanity. Humanity is the foundatio...

Br.Aarif, These bohras are like "kuva ma medak" i.e. Frogs in the well. They will only do tarr, tarr, tarr in the well and will be extremely proud of it thinking that this is the only place on this planet which has so much of water. Hence they will never even make an effort to come out of ...

Br.Arif, Moharrum has now become a once in a year foreign tour for which Bohras are waiting with baited breadth. Kothar becomes SOTC Tours & Travels and bohras are seen whispering in each others ears "Aa waqt mukam kya hase" which in other words means now which new country we will be a...

This 'Improvisator' goes on harping about "Lakum Deenakum val yadin". So I think that all the atrocities commited by the saffron brigade in Gujrat, Maharashtra,Orissa, Karnataka and their burning of churches, masjids and durgahs should be condoned by taking a stand "Lakum Deena kum va...

Bohras in their rituals of Mola worship go to the extent of calling him Aka Mola, Washi-un-neel, Huzur-e-ala, Haqiqi Kibla, Bolta Quran and what not. On the other hand while addressing our Nabi Rasul Allah s.a.w., the best and greatest of Allah's creation and Hazrat Ali a.s., the Shere Khuda, these ...
