Sheikh Shabbir Dawoodbhai of Mombasa just shot dead

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.

The top-most Sheikh of the Mombasa Jamaat, Sheikh Shabbir Dawoodbhai, Vice Chairman of the Jamaat
(second-in-command to the Amil Quaser BS) - and brother of Sheikh Walijee of the London Jamaat was just shot dead near his home in Kizingo, Mombasa.

Inna Lillahi Wainna Illayhi Raajioon.

May Allah bless his soul and keep it in eternal peace and give his bereaved family solace and sabar...Ameen

Just came back after visiting the scene of crime. He was still lying on the drivers seat with a bullet in the heart. A bullet thru the windscreen and left window did not get thru. The guys were waiting outside the apartment building and drove thru with him and shot him after he had parked the car.

A lot of men and women were crying openly. The Mombasa jamaat scene will change dramatically, may be for the worse.

Inna lillahe wa inna illayhi raajeoon
Very shocking to hear, I hope Allah will bless with enough strength and sabar.
Saif, as you visited the crime scene, can you comment if it was an organised thing or was it just a mugging/vilence incident?

Apparently it probably seems like a "supari" (a hitman or a hired gun!!) as there appeared to be no robbery or mugging. Nobody knows yet?? The Sheikh was a prominent businessman as well.

During the five months, there have been two murders from our community, in or around their homes, in Mombasa, Kenya. The last one being of another innocent businessman Mr. Shabbir Kitabwala who was gunned down and killed inside his own home in presence of his family. Also killed at the time was another robber who was hit by a stray bullet from one of his own gun members.

May Allah subhanahu protect the innocent citizens from these types of calamities and goondas, whatever their tribe, race, religion or ideology etc....Ameen

Thanks Saif.
I hope the criminals behind this and the ones involved in organising this meet their fate.

Inna Lillahi Wainna Illayhi Raajioon.

I knew him too and found him to be rational person who many times got people out of sticky situations when disputes arose with Bhaisaheb and Amils.

He was one who even if he benefited from a dodgy dawaat but did it without stepping on peoples toes or victimization.

A rare occasion when resitance fighters and opposition give credit to Abde.

Obviously the newspaper has got the name of the deceased victim wrong and/or inaccurately spelled.

May Allah forgive me to use this incident but it is in the interest to protect his Islam that I use this as an example and prevent from Shirk !

Mr Dawoodbhai was an extreme devoted Abde but why did he have to die this way , where was his Diais barakat, dua and moajiza the countless wajebaat and ziafats this man did.

Wakeup Abdes how much more signals you need that Diais has no power or control over your fate cannot protect you from harm...in your bayans you vilify and mock the opposition when calamity befalls them and say it is their sins but how do you explain this Abde's tragedy ?

Isa nabi died, Rasoolullah died, Imams died, Dais died, master of mind and soul (Jan-maal na malik) Syedna Taher Saifuddin died and still some body says "Yes and No." . What a faith and belief!

we have some not very flattering terms for people like you, a dhobi ka kutta, na ghar ka na ghat ka who displays characteristics of both sides, someone in between, get my drift?

a typical abde policy taught in sabaks - hunt with the wolves and sleep with the lambs.

He was a dedicated devotee of His Holiness Dr. Syedna Muhamamed Burhanuddin (TUS).

It does not mention he was a Muslim but does mention he was a devotee of Syedna.

It is highly appalling to use someone's death - whether or not an abde - to debate on righteousness of dai and his beliefs.
This should not have been started by ozmu.

May Allah grant sabr to Shk Shabbir's family and may his soul rest in peace

Admirer sorry if you dont like it but no apologies once you announce an issue here this blog is for debate, Much greater personalities and their death has been discussed ..read carefully even debates around Imam Hussain martyrdom has been discussed !

The point being made here is when Bohras send ridiculous Moajiza chain emails and bayans shower super imagined powers of your Diai the real world is so much different and he is powerless if unable to be purchased.

Shabbirbhais destiny was unable to be changed regardless of his faith hence the Bohra fundamentals on Diai controlling anyones future here or hereafter is really a fiction.

This is the most idiotic post ever. What has the Moajizas got to do with any one dying. Death is inevitable, whether you believe in the Syedna or not.
