Urus- another attempt to force and extort

The one and only free public forum for Bohras. The focus of this forum is the reform movement, the Dawoodi Bohra faith and, of course, the corrupt priesthood. But the discussion is in no way restricted to the Bohras alone.

there is no time to loose. keep the abdes busy and dazzled. dont let them free or idle. plus SMS needs such mega events to keep his empire floating. there is inflation in bribery too. he needs to feed many mouths and fill many pockets.

Look like dad of the universe now wants to make Burhanuddin Moula's urus the sole property of Mufaddali monkeys. JagatDaddy I live night and day among your kind and I can guarantee that only SKQ followers will evoke the true spirit of Burhanuddin Moula.

Dear Mumenaat Behno,

As per farmaan and khushi of our beloved Aqa Maula Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin (TUS), all mumineen and mumenaat are highly encouraged to go for the Urus of Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (RA).

This assistance has come from the hadya of Mithi Sitabi from Mumenaat Behno. Any behen who is in need of this financial assistance please contact Rashidabehen Jinia at 90664409.

Please note that this financial assistance is only for one Mumenaat behen in need and should only be used for the travel to Mumbai for attending Urus Mubarak of Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (RA).

Another wasteful effort at charity. The poor mumeenat would have been better off with some free food and other donations but gets a "Free" trip to Mumbai. How is financial assistance going to help her in the long run?

Above farmaan reminds me of the following joke:

A city boy, Kenny, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.
The next day the farmer drove up and said: "Sorry son, but I have some bad news. The donkey died."
Kenny replied, "Well then, just give me my money back."
The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already."
Kenny said, "OK, then just unload the donkey."
The farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with him?"
Kenny: "I'm going to raffle him off."
Farmer: "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"
Kenny: "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he is dead."
A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, "What happened with that dead donkey?"
Kenny: "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at $2 a piece and made a profit of $998.00."
Farmer: "Didn't anyone complain?"
Kenny: "Just the guy who won. So I gave him his $2 back."

Kenny grew up and eventually became Syedna Kenny :-)

Only difference is in Bohras case is Syedna raffles himself. I hope people know the name for person who sells himself for money.

Hi Asad

Excalibur post was a good comparison to what kothar Inc does to promote its travel and tours and dargah resort hospitality business. Promoting this ziyarat tours in guise of spirituality. Middle-class or poor abdes gets a leisure trip sponsored by rich abdes while credit and profits are made by kothar. This is hitting many birds with a single stone. Rich abdes are pampered with status symbols such as ziyafats and photo ops with kotar clergy, while poor are pampered with such ziyarat tours. In both scenarios, kothar makes the moolah.

Hatss off to kothar strategies !! they are getting better and better with their material greed !
