ashra 1432
Re: ashra 1432
نظر المقام
This is better understood as نظر صاحب المقام
It is translated as “In contemplation of the person of rank”.
Sahib al-maqam is the hidden Imam. To ease current or avert possible future difficulty, an offering of money is made to the hidden Imam.
Nazar Sahib al-Maqam is shortened to Nazar al-Maqam and refers to the money set aside for this purpose.
Minnat is similar except that minnat is in the name of any divine and is for a specific event. Nazar is more like an offering to ward off an evil eye. Nazar is offered to Imam only. Dai may use the money for any purpose he deems fit as he is the de facto Imam and the de facto Sahib al-Maqam.
It is a mindless superstition which owes its existence to popular folk religion of South Asian Muslims rather than authentic Islam of the Quran. It is a device to part gullible fools from their money in the service of their overlords.
You know what. They deserve this!

Re: ashra 1432
To be more accurate, you would say alayhis-salaam (as) after Sahib al-Maqam, like صاحب المقام عليه السلام.
It does not make much sense to say Nazar al-Maqam (as). But then, what do you expect of the masses whose ignorance deserves as much contempt as their servility?

Re: ashra 1432
I don't think the bohras says Nazar - al Maqam.
I think the most common form is Nazar Muqam. I may be wrong.

Re: ashra 1432
Bohras do say ‘નઝર મુકામ’ (nazar mukam).
That is the colloquial version in Bohra Gujarati. Those types of contractions are common in colloquial languages. ‘nazar mukam’ and ‘nazrul mukam’ are variants of the more linguistically correct ‘nazar al-maqam’.
I am certain that most Bohras do not even know the significance of the term or that the money is offered to the hidden Imam. Nor do they contemplate the Imam when putting money away. It is simply a device to ward off an evil eye.
They put aside some money in a box to avert misfortune through their days and empty the box once a year to give the money to their local Amil for dispatch to the Dai.

Re: ashra 1432
Thats the galla one uses to break a bigger note.
Re: ashra 1432
I think the bohra concept of nazar muqam originated from the Islamic concept of Sadaqah. The prophet (saw) has said about sadaqah -
Sadaqah extinguishes sin as water extinguishes fire.
Sadaqah appeases the Lord’s anger and averts an evil death.
Give the Sadaqah without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity.
Recipients of the Sadaqah are the poor and not the filthy rich Dai.

does this mean that the request of shazada for fakhera najrulmukam is for Dai and nothing is done without his raaja. Dai tells his follower to pay him and take his minnat so that he visits your city!!

Re: ashra 1432
Like I wrote before, nazar muqam is for averting a calamity. The greater the anticipated calamity, the greater the amount of money that must be set aside.Maqbool wrote:
does this mean that the request of shazada for fakhera najrulmukam is for Dai and nothing is done without his raaja. Dai tells his follower to pay him and take his minnat so that he visits your city!!
Now, can you imagine a greater calamity than that Dai will not grace your town with his presence during forthcoming Muharram. That calls for the most fakhir raqam possible for nazae muqam to be set aside. So, please, dig deep into your pockets with, as al Zulfiqar would say, the greatest walwalo in your heart.
Re: ashra 1432
About Nazar Muqam whatever I could find I have put it down in
"Taxes and more taxes - a dead certainty for Bohras"
"Taxes and more taxes - a dead certainty for Bohras"

Re: ashra 1432
Interesting! it a paradox - The najrul muqam is to save from calamity, where here it is to invite calamity.porus wrote:Now, can you imagine a greater calamity than that Dai will not grace your town with his presence during forthcoming Muharram.

they are doing araz for Ashara and want people to commit some amount for ashara preparation, and you can confirm with any one that any amount be it just 52 dhm is taken and no pressure is their.
Re: ashra 1432
aqs,
You do not see any pressure in this? Either you are blind or one of those who gets a cut from the zakat money. A corrupt kothari.Please note that if you have any dues with dubaijamaat or have not done takhmeen for Ashara Mubaraka Niyaz Fund, online safai chitti will not be renewed.

Ask GM and Alik if they will not commit any amount how will they be stopped from attending waez, they will not be, so despite not committing any thing if they will be able to attend the waez which will be the sole purpose of this exercise then where's the pressure.
PS: I am no Kothari, so please keep these innuendo's for some better time

Re: ashra 1432
aqs,
What are the consequences of not having a valid safai chitti? Do the kotharis create a problem during a marriage in your family? Or a death in your family? And these are far more important than a worthless waez. Either you are acting ignorant or you are ignorant. Which means you are messed up in either case.

This Safai Chitti business was dumped few years back when E Jamaat cards were introduced, but they have come again in picture recently, i dont know how far this will effect.

Re: ashra 1432
Why has Cairo, the proud city of Fatemids, been forgotten from where this tamasha was started? Why has Mumineen been deprived of getting Sharaf of Ziyarat of Shahzada Dr. Yusuf Najmuddin?
Re: ashra 1432
Insaf Bhai,
I also wonder.
My another question to abdes ....... why there are almost no Shia or Bohras in Egypt ... ??!! Cairo was the 'seat' of Imams, they had ruled that for so many years ....... so how come there are no shias or bohras from 'local' misri people, how come majority are sunnis??!! seems they did not believe in Imamat and all that stuff ..... in fact there are very few shias in that vicinity (Syria, Jordan, Algeria, Western Saudi Arabia) ....... WHY??
WHY shia (and bohras) are found (or originated) in Yemen and Sub-Continent? It is simple - Shiaism spread in Iraq (and from there to neighbour Iran, Indo/Pak etc) ..... the guilty people of Iraq (who had betrayed Hussain) started this because of their guilty conscienousness, they could not believe what they (and their forefathers) had done, and as a result started beating their chests and heads.

Re: ashra 1432
Have you seen the pyramids where pharoah, the sultan of egypt is buried ? He too had lots of precious articles including gold buried alongwith him. So you see there is no difference between the sultans, even pharoah craved for worldly wealth and was proud of the thousands of slaves he had at his disposal just like the sultan of bohras. The end result.... one died with a hope that he will utilise his material wealth in his afterlife and the other hasnt learn his lessons even after seeing the fate of his counterpart.bohri wrote:Can you help us understand what the Sultan needs the "TOLAS" for?
