In addition, he made decisions based on his own judgment and was wrong (at least was not able to choose the better option) in some of these decisions. As such, it is clear that not all of his sayings and practices were a product of divine revelation. So Br. MF as per you and your ulema, Prophet can...

Head Aamil of Surat is Mudar BS. Every big city has a head aamil and sub-aamil for each mohalla. The sub-aamil involved in rehmatpura incident is son of Dr. Luwai BS and nephew of Mudar BS. (i.e. Mudar BS & Luwai BS are brothers) Mudar BS is father of Kinana BS (Dubai Aamil) and Qusai BS (Sharja...

Yes the incident did happen and is confirmed by my many friends and relatives in that jamaat. Currently Sharjah masjid is undergoing extension project and hence the main kitchen is under repairs. The food was being cooked at the old community centre some distance away from the masjid and transported...

My 2 cents... I believe Qasr namaz and skipping of fasts for travellers is an exemption granted by Allah. So if a person chooses to not take the exemption it is completely ok and hence his fast and prayers would still be valid even if he is travelling. Take for example, 2:184 & 2:185 states that...

Just an aside, Ramadan has nothing to do with enjoying iftaris, suhoors and family time. :mrgreen: Br. Pro Suhoor is sunnah of the Prophet, there are many hadiths to that effect and even Syedna strongly recommends suhoor. Although not having suhoor does not invalidate the fast, but its recommended....

The month of Ramadan which we all dearly await for through out the year is now upon us.... a month of forgiveness... a month of praying & devotion....a month to purify our souls..a month to lift our statures...a month of fasting...a month solely dedicated to Allah...a month in which any amount o...

I said I fast but not not for 15 to 20 hours. I have never missed a fast in my life. But I fast 12 hours max. Now this is between me and Allah SWT not because I want to wiggle out of stupid argument with you but because I know Allah SWT is Most Merciful and Most Compassionate and loves us dearly. B...

if all these wild animals are allowed to roam free then they kill in innocent people, few years ago in national park in mumbai some tigers did kill small children and in other villages wild elephant killed the villagers so killing a wild animal can not be a crime but should be a blessing Human bein...

It is really heart rendering ....

Outrage over 'how to beat your wife' book

An Article from newspaper.

These were the part and parcel of Bohra life, its just that they have put up on a website doesnt make it anything new. Thousands of Bohras visit Syedi Fakhruddin shahid Roza or Syedi Hakimuddin roza to get their demons exorcise. Now explain this to any rational mind Just remembered a phrase / quote...

This is sheer stupidity and bullshiting abdes into some kind of superstitious trance of living in fantasy world of demons and angels. Belief in demons and angels is as per Quran. Angels are mentioned everywhere in Quran. Muhammad was made prophet for humans as well as jinns. What do we see next, ab...

Doctor wrote: “DB too consider Imam Hasan (a) as Mustoda Imam.” This I think is not true, Bohras consider Imam Hasan as Mustakar Imam. Refer to Dua-e-takrub also he is counted as Imam in the list of 21 imams. Porus is right when he points out at the episode of transfer of imamat by Hassan to Hussai...

As per Bohras, Mustakar imams are from the lineage of Ismail and Mustavda imams from the lineage of Isaac. Imamat passes on from Abdullah (father of Prophet) to Abu Talib (Hazrat Imran). Bohras consider Abu Talib to be the last imam of the period / shariat of Prophet Jesus. This is the reason for Ab...

Br. Anajmi, Below is the extract of the 2nd sermon (from the link provided by you) by Hz. Ali : “He, first and foremost, is a unique Lord in His exaltation, able through His might, holy through His sublimity, proud of His Majesty; no (mental) vision can realize Him, nor can anyone ever see Him. He i...

Imam Jafar Sadik said, "What God is man cannot think, and what man thinks, God is not. Yet man lives by God and God is nearer to him than himself."

Extract from Hz Ali's sermon as recorded in Nahj ul Balagha Sermon 1: "He brought forth creation through His Omnipotence, dispersed winds through His Compassion, and made firm the shaking earth with rocks. The foremost in religion is the acknowledgement of Him, the perfection of acknowledging H...

Also in the Introduction is Madelung's discussion on who Muhammad thought was his successor - his cousin, Ali. Why? He argues that the obvious place to look for Muhammad's view on this matter is in the Qur'an. He launches into a commentary on the Qur'an and explains how it tells the stories of the p...

If i am not mistaken there is a grave of a camel in hasanfeer (denmaal).

Bohras do ziarat of the same, as the camel belonged to Hasan Pir Saheb and killed alongwith him.

Right to host ziyafats...
Right to kadambosi...
Right to be the first in queue (or rather avoid queues)

[quote="think"] while the bohras believe in the coming of Imam Tayyeb [quote]

Bohras believe that at the end of period of satr an Imam from the progeny of Imam Tayyeb will appear. He is referred to as Qaim Al Qiyamah and will have the laqab of Abu Qasim (same as the Prophet).

Sermon 1 in Nahjul Balagha

Hz. Ali talks about creation of earth, creation of angels and creation of adam.

Does make an interesting read.

Br. Anajmi, There's a iQuran app available from Guidedways Technology for iphone and Android phones. It has all what you need. Below is the list of its feature from its website: Full Quran with Translation Read the Noble Quran (Koran/Coran) from the palm of your hands on the new iPhone and iPod Touc...

Kite Runner is the first book authored by Khaled Hosseini... It makes a very good reading. A touching story of set in Afghanistan about 2 childhood friends (sunni & shia...yes a lesson or two can be learnt) and also talks about political turmoil in Afghanistan. It feels like you are reading a me...

Muslim First wrote:Which Aya of Qur'an this expression “Ya Nissaa-un-Nabiyi” is used?

Ayah 33:32, begins with addressing the wives of the Prophet.

In 33:33 the Quran is addressing the family of the prophet (saw) which includes the wives. In 33:32, the verse begins with “O wives of Prophet!”, however, when it comes to verse 33:33, Almighty chose to use words “Ahlul Bayt” instead of “Ya Nissaa-un-Nabiyi”. There’s difference in interpretation, l...
