In addition to above, Muffadal Bhai Saheb was married to one of the daughters of Mazoon Saheb, and she was divorced, after that Muffadal Bhai Saheb married Shehzada Yusuf Najmuddin's daughter. If I am right one of Muffadal Bhai Saheb's son is married to mazoon saheb's daughter.

and you know what, if want to marry her, stand up for it, just be a man, it is your right to choose whichever religion you want. Do not let these crooks bully you a bit. tell them if you dont do, i ll go to court, first i ll go to muffadal moula, i am sure he ll listen, but come what may, i ll get i...

who told you it is neccessary. it is not at all neccessary. all she has to do is take misaq, well that she ll have to do to convert. the most they ll ask is change name. one of my friends son in usa just got married to a white girl, and no body even asked about it. there are some problems in our jam...

I had quiet good upbringing, which is manifest the way I behave. You took the phrase out of context. Now just revolve this in your mind. you are in a place, where there is no sunset or sunrise, you are a muslim, ramadan is there, you have to fast. what is the end time of sehri, the very first light ...

what is happening in Pakistan is very unfortunate. main instigator was imam of area masjid. according to BBC An 11 year old girl is charged with blasphemy, despite the fact that girl was from a very poor family, hardly read any thing. you are right about rigidity in theocratical islam. it has shut d...

Enayat: Outright grants amounted to £2,266,860 (2007: £1,471,847). if i understand it correctly, 2.26 million GBP almost 5 million dollars were given to help members of our community. it seems quiet an exageration, I have not seen any help given to any mumin by dawat e hadiya, let alone 5 million do...

Eid Mubarak to all.

it is a very complex situation, usually taliban and alike are responisible in shia mosques and imam bargahs. but there are lot of other factors too. first thing we should do is to become more sensitive about current situation. our regular exhibition and disregard for situation will lead us in some u...

where does in misaq it says, that you have to be humilited, where does in misaq say, that Maula may be paraded like this. where does in misaq says that i cannot call spade a spade. Actually I am fulfilling the true essence of misaq by pointing out to Dai and his officials what is going wrong in our ...

it would have been an unfortunate incident, but i think it was meant to scare rather than detonate it. simultaneously they were found at many places but not active. worrisome is that now our centers are on list, as it used to be shia's. we should be very careful.

there were incidents of high handedness in haideri, there were arguments regarding amount of wajebat. Taikhoon bhai saheb syedna's grand son is in haideri. there are also reports from mumbai, that people were roughened up. unfortunately this ramadan, whatever small help was offered during ramadan by...

Ramadan is nearing end, this Ramadan our community passed Ramadan without active guidance of Syedna Saheb. This Ramadan we saw near anarchy situation in some places. There were incidents of hooliganism by administration and over reaction by some bhaisahebs and amils. Never before violence was a fact...

no, wajebat form does have entry for zakat, but no one asks how much is zakat, nor the payer specifies it, because amil wants to extract as much amount as he could and payer wants to bargain for less, dont tell me this is not the norm, so where does zakat come in. zakat is paid two and half percent ...

So, if my above post is correct, because it is not refuted, then no bohra is paying zakat, progressive or orthodox, as the amount collected has no mention of zakat in it. at the bottom you put a figure, never asked how much is zakat. payer is 100 percent sure that it is the tax to retain an active m...

adam bhai you wrote "(Oh Mohammed, take Sadaqah (Zakaat) from them)" Ayah is "Oh Mohammed , take sadaqah " how did you come by that God means zakaat, Sadaqa and zakaat are two completely different things, which are specified in quran. this is what I have been arguing that just gi...

Land of wahabi morons. what else can you expect from these arabs. I have lived in dubai, i actually grew up in dubai. whatever brigadier said, is 100% true. I have never seen an ignorant and arrogant nation on earth except these arabs. for thousands of years, they were nomads, but then motor car got...

GM, can I read your post about hijab at a meeting, it is organized by some organization for role of women in islam and hijab in that context. of course i shall say that I am reading some one article which is posted on line. it is on monday july 23rd.

During last week, I did some research, I talk to 4 ulemas of different mosques all sunni one. Imams ofIMO, a very big mosque in toronto, Juma congregation exceeds 2000, Afghani mosque, islamic society of north america mosque, and Shiekh Dr. Saeed, he is principal of islamic school, also a Phd in isl...

it pains me a lot. what has become of us, i can not understand how could be a whole family which numbers in hundereds become so dispassionate and cruel towards the ones who have fed them nurtured them. Even medieval kings had some empathy for their subjects. teenaged boys are sitting like gods, and ...

furthering HB's and GM's response, in Karachi situation is getting worse. first the law and order has totally broken, everyday no of bohras are looted, mugged or made to pay ransom. Business is very bad, there is no business. People are loosing livelihood. when I say people, I mean Bohras. On top of...

where is You cant. it says "For those who can do it is a ransom, the feeding of one that is indigent. But he that will give more, of his own free will,- it is better for him. And it is better for you that ye fast, if ye only knew it says, for those who can do it is a ransom , the feeding one th...

feeding poor is option for those who dont fast and find it hard to fast, they have alternative.

no, feeding the poor is not for sick or travelling persons, they can make up for lost days in other days, ayah 2:185 clearly says that and reitrate ayah 2:184. I am not at all interpreting quran, i am just using the common sense to understand it. and i want to understant it as it was sent, not with ...

i did not interprate, i just posted the actual translation without yusuf ali's addition, because addition was distorting the message. how did yusuf ali know to add those things. Actually it is the problem. God is asking you to fast, but he is also saying if you dont do then do this. so he is giving ...

rightly so. Some days ago I was having discussion with our muallim, with my wife about fasting in ramadan. i am a bit stressed out, becuase here day begins around 4: 30 and iftar is at around 9 oclock. I asked him where in quran dictates follower to fast. he said that it is in quran, when i asked hi...

http://dawn.com/2012/07/06/rigidity-of-ulema/ Today in Dawn karachi, an article by Asghar Ali Engineer is published. It is thought provoking. He rightly ponders on "Ulema's rigidity". Unfortunately ulema of Deoband has adopted and yet adhering to medieval interpretation, which is not only ...

these pictures show the gross indifference to the plight of syedna saheb. Look at Moiz bhai saheb, he and other bhaisahebs of course are standing as if for picnicing, which is actually picnic for them, and in other photo syedna's grand sons are posing for portrait like pose. They do not care for the...

thankyou porus. i totally agree with you.

Does "rada" has any historical forbearance, i have seen syedna giving father and son same name. beside a smart tactic by administration to control, is there any religious significance in fatimid religion. it did not use to be so prevelent, even i remember there wasn't much emphasis back in...

it was not Ahad, when muslim archer disobeyed prophet's order and left their post to grab war bounties. it was ghazva Ahzab aka ghazva khandaq or battle of ditch. it was 5 hijra. Ahad was fought two years earlier in 3 hijri.
