This is very sad. My heart goes out for the oppressed. Why are these questions not raised in the local jamaat. I mean Jamaats in other cities might not even know that something like this is hapenning in Udaipur or even if they come to know they will chant laanat without knowing the complete truth. M...

Hi,
Please give me some good links which I can use to learn Arabic. The motive is to understand Quran.

I want to understand what I am reading.

Suggestions for some good books available in India are most welcome.

What is the basis of point allocation. How can an individual earn the max points?

I dont know about the details on "Shirk". But this is how the average regular Bohri speaks in everyday life. We consistently use the phrase "Grace of God and Dua of Aqa Moula". Now I never thought that this can be interpreted as "Shirk". My knowledge of Islam and Dawood...

Adnan Patrawala was killed by the kidnappers yesterday night. He was lured into a trap which was laid in Orkut under the profile of a girl.

May his soul rest in peace.

Around three years back I was in Chennai during Moharram. During that time the Amil Saheb of Chennai announced that Aqa Moula has remitted 70 Crores for the benefit of all needy mumineen in Chennai. As I was in financial trouble I went to the Amil later on (After Ashura) to find how I can avail Rupe...

Thank you for all your view points.

Yes, I pay 2.5% of what I earn per annum.

I just want to make it clear that I am not a reformist or an Orthodox Bohri in my beliefs. I just like to keep my mind open and ask questions. So, the question that begs an answer is - Why are we forced to pay a certain amount of Zakat. I dont have a problem in paying Zakat or Sabeel or any other ta...

Can I remain a bohri by not paying Zakaat in Ramzaan to the local Amil. Will he allow me to instead use the same amount of money that I pay as Zakat to help a needy member in my extended family. My father still handles dealings with the local amil in these matters, and though he does not say it but ...

There is another one called Sabeel. This is paid to the local jamaat on a monthly basis.

I believe that the root cause of all evils plaguing the muslim world today is lack of Education. An educated mind can see reason and it does not fear stupid superstitions. If I talk of India then the majority of the muslim children (I am not talking about Bohris here) are educated in Madrasas which ...

The population if Bilaspur is more than 1000 for sure. As far as I know the population is above 1500. My relative who lives in bilaspur, she told me that the expenditure for her family if they decide to make the trip will come close to 13000/-. I also want to point out that this relative of mine is ...

Please read "Phrased" instead of "Phrashed"

Yeah, I should have phrashed my view point in a better way.
What I really meant was that the standard of living for most of the muslims is so pathetic today. Yes, we might have done some great things in the past but today we definitely are ages behind.

Aamil Saheb of Bilaspur has reportedly vowed that he will make sure that all members of the Bilaspur Jamaat have completed Qadambosi of Aqa Moula. For this the fees that has been determined is : - Adults - 5200/- (dont know if it includes ticket and boarding) Children - 1100/- Reportedly the mumin o...

I often wonder that why is the Islamic World behind in technological progress. All the technological advancement happens in the West which then trickles down to all parts of the world. Or, does technological progress which leads to improvement in the quality of life does not fit in the scheme of thi...
