Dawoodi Bohra Forum

Ho gai hei fir parwat si pighalni chahiye Is himale se koi furat nikalni chahiye Aj ye diwar pardon ki tarah hilne lagi Shart lekin thi ki ye buniyaad hilni chahiye Har sadak par har gali mein har nagar har ganw mein Hath lahrate hue har lash chalni chahiye Sirf hangama khada karna apna maqsad nahin...

Sticky: Dawoodi Bohra's Succession Of Dai Case In Mumbai High Court
Why has the above topic degenerated into drivel which has absolutely nothing remotely associated with it.

SBM: Shukria for an apt rejoinder.

juzer esmail: With due respect your post is just 'dust in the winds'.
A shayar has justifiably penned a sher for just such anonymous nonsense.

Bhanwar se lado, tund lehro se uljho
Kahan tak chaloge kinare kinare

bhanwar: whirlpool, eddy
uljho: confront, face
lehro: waves

Must have been really, really badly poisoned food. Alhamdulillah, now that you have recovered after over four years from being sick.

Reporter, Kaka Akela, et al: I am on this forum because of its contents and rare enlightening debates. Interesting also is the sparring and dissection of current happenings most of which is not available elsewhere. I have read a couple of posts referring to 53rd's visit to Tanzania. Shikar and a bus...

Isn't "watching their actions" and 'right time" a defeatist attitude? People have been watching their actions and waiting for the right time for ages. Do not hold your breath, dear sir. The screw keeps tightening and Bohras will continue to be screwed.

In 1967 the head Bhaisaheb attended a Jamaat election meeting in Nairobi when he said it is Maulana's 'khushi' that Fidaali Hebatullah be elected president. This precipitated in the total resignation and gave way to a Kothar-leaning administration. Other jamaats fell like flies in the ensuing years....

Kaka Akela: The reason behind the 'hakal patti" of SMB from Tanzania had nothing to do with the imposition of a constitution. I was in Mombasa, Kenya when SMB and troupe arrived in transit to Nairobi and then Mumbai. The efforts of progressive movements in East Africa worked conclusively to pre...

As a result of the continuous lockdown a Jamaat in Canada has announced a raza protocol to equip males to conduct Imamat namaaz at their homes. I commend the move. Baad As Salaam il Jameel, REMINDER All MARDO mumineen are kindly requested to fill the below form for obtaining raza for Imaamat namaaz ...

A proverb in the Swahili language of East Africa says:
"Yake mwenyewe ni goi goi, lakini ana teteya ya mwenzake"
Yours is on dubious footings, yet you profess knowledge of the other.

That is a cop out!
This forum is open to all.
We are not living in a period of 'Taqiyat".

TalibBhai please explain what you mean when you write: Non muslims and muslims who read here will take it wrongly.

Upwards of 70 years ago these appendages were bestowed on people who were pious and helped in needy in the community. My great uncle who was given MKD (M...? Khidmatit Daawat) was a humble person whose acts were rewarded is such manner. There was no monetary exchange. That was before Sheikh Saleh Bh...

To quote Shakespeare from Romeo and Juliet:

"What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet".

I say: "... or as shitty."

Existence: You must be very well off if you have more than one wife and you take them all shopping!

I would like hear comments from anyone who has read the book "SEVEN" by Farzana Doctor.

SBM has boldly stated that his identity and where he lives is known by many. Many know where I am from - Kenya - and where I live - Canada. In Mombasa, Kenya, there was a trio which did tremendous work in obtaining funds from individuals and companies to assist needy people who had to pay medical bi...

The Hindu enforcers proudly identify themselves with their saffron scarfs, demonstrating their affiliation with and support of Hindutva, Shiv Sena, BJP, etc. I have watched several such videos and they seem to use the proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove. Firm, well spoken and concise in their mes...

Talib Bhai:
Lyricist Anand Bakhshi's verse should answer your questions:
Yaar hamari baat suno,
Aisa eik insaan chuno
Jisne paap na kiya ho
Jo papi na ho

Kaka Akela: Having travelled across three continents for nikah armed with a green 'chitti' with a footnote saying 'deen si bahot dur che' one is confident. Before the event I was prewarned by local families and friends that the 'Shehzada' was ruthless and he lived up to his reputation.

Ozdundee Bhai: Ahsante sana, (thank you) for your words of support and compassion. I am well aware of your vendetta against perpetrators of FGM and eventual vindication. I have moved on and the suffering has receded from my memory. As for your "You and I will probably never meet", I take c...

Review of Ajmeri's book which appeared in the magazine AWAAZ. Its editor is Dr. Zarina Patel, grand-daughter of T.M. Jeevanjee. She single-handedly fought and succeeded against Nairobi City Council from selling off a prominent piece of land owned by her grandfather. The land in question was bequeath...

Soon after STS (51st.) visited Zanzibar in 1963 an uprising of ethnic Africans overthrew the British-backed Omani Sultan. Businesses and houses of Indian and Arab residents were looted and many of their womenfolk raped. Pleas to Kothar were ignored and Bohra jamaats in Kenya and Tanzania helped in w...

A posting in Kenya, Uganda or Tanzania is definitely a ripe plum. Most Bohris there are adherents or subdued. The appointees are housed well and receive good wazifo. Fat envelopes for Raza and other events would add substantially to their retirement. His wife would also be well-placed to manipulate ...

TalibBhai:
