The True Imam - How would you verify?

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.

Br. Badri, The nabi lived the life intended with instructions from the holy Quran. How else a man who marries the richest woman become so poor. Before people knew him as Nabi, he was known for being Sadik and Amin.

He was being known for being Sadik and Amin. But was he known before as 'Nabi'? No. He and his missionaries like Mola Ali a.s., Salman Farsi a.s. etc preached the message that Mohammed is Rasool of Allah. In same fashion the Imam and his missionaries will preach that he is Mustakar Imam.

Imam missionaries are appointed by Imam, I do not know who they are in present time. "Hiding" is a state where no one knows where the hidden party/entity is - this is the concept of Ithna Asheri Shia's. In our context, the Imam is in state of "concealment" meaning he is accessible to his missionaries and selected people. Like in night you cannot see the Sun, it is concealed from you, you cannot say that sun is absent, sun is present and doing its job though you cannot see it. In Parliaments or at important places missionaries of Imam are present and they are doing their job. Minister of Firaun was secret agent/missionary of Moosa a.s. who notified evil plans of Firaun. Biwi Zubaida r.a. wife of Abbasi Caliph Haroon Rasheed was secret agent of Imam Molana Mohammed Shakir a.s. who passed evil plans of Haroon Rasheed. Khawaja Moinuddin Chisti famous lines, "Haqqa ke bina'e la ilaha ast Hussain" is not aqeeda of followers of 1/2/3 - so Khawaja sahib is not the men with faith in line with those of 1/2/3! Who is he? He is secret missionary of Fatimi Imam's.

So Imam and his missionaries are doing their work as commanded by Allah like sun, you cannot though see it. When time will come sun will rise, when time come Imam made their zuhoor and they will do again. Imam Quaim (Mehdi) a.z.s. prophecy is made by Prophet s.a.w.w. which is accepted tradition in all sects of Islam.

So how can someone be sure that the missionaries who identify the Imam are the true ones ? They can project anyone from their own clan as the Imam like the present corrupt Dai who could one fine day project someone from baite zaini or qasre ali or in every likelihood project himself as the Imam (as per the final halka of sabak).

It is better if you keep yourself confined to your own so called "Pristine" theories only because you don't have an iota of sense when you speak on behalf of the noble Auliyas who also happen to be from the progeny of Mola Ali (a.s.). Iam sure your fairytale books have no mention of these great saints at all. Hence keep away from it.

To those claimant - you ask the questions on subject that you have expertise. May be you pull few more friends from different faculty of knowledge and fire the most difficult & diversified questions you can think of to Imam. If he answers to your satisfaction you may tender your Iman or otherwise.

Badri bhai, why do you care so much about things that divide the Muslims. Do you not believe that it is bad to talk bad about friends and relatives of Nabi and Moula Ali. You do remember Moula Ali married one of Hazrat Abu Bakr's daughter. Thus making himself his son in law. Regardless, all this has nothing for us to gain, but it does bring a lot of money to the people that divide us.

I am worried about my own end. I just hope I have more good, when my sins are weighed.

Do all you can, but behave yourself.

Kothar is not authorized by Imam-uz-zaman. Till date Burhanuddin sahib and his predecessors were not able to prove if they are Dai Mutlaq.

Bohra's is the only rightful Islam and un-Islamic are practices of Kothar.

Kothar is not DB they are equal to Hindu and Muslim Baba's and Sadhu's whose business is to fool common men and pocket their money!

So minus Kothar from Bohra's and then see who we are - only we are truly Sunni and truly Shia; we are the only Islam. Behamdolillah.

In beginning X, Y and Z usurped right of Mola Ali a.s. and exploited Islam stealing caliphate. Then Umaiyyad and Abbasi exploited Islam; 1/2/3 never claimed they are "rightly guided caliphs" but Abbasi caliphs to secure their positions against the might of Fatimi Imam's forged a theory that their claimant to caliphate is same like 1/2/3 and till date majority of people are astray referring 1/2/3 as "rightly guided"; a claim that 1/2/3 themselves have never made!!!!

Then Ithna Asheri Murja and Aayatullah exploited the Islam by pocketing 20% money per annum of their followers collected in name of their hidden Imam who have not appointed these Murja's and Aayatullah's!!!!

Then came our Kothar, like Sambhri got the dust below the feet of Moosa and sprinkle of that dust over golden calf made it vociferous, Sambhri was most 'niqamma' and got the most precious thing, so does 47th claimant of Dai exploited the situation and declared himself as Dai (without Nuss) he is not authorized hence his and his progeny action is not equal to shariyat of Fatimi Dawat.

Sorry Bro Anajmi, Disagree ......... if we can identify Tur Imam, he then will be King, who would care for Dai? Per Bohra beliefs when Imam arrives he will 'take away' his 'amanat' from Dai ...........

Conclusion: No Dai wants to identify Imam (and as is there has never been one ......... and Dais KNOW that.. :roll: )

Yes, only a Dai can help us identify the true Imam when he does Zuhur, and only a Mazoon can help us identify the true Dai in case of a dispute, as clearly evident in the history of Dawat.

So WHO is Mazoon these days? Muffadali and Qutbi both??

Dai appoints Mazoon and Mazoon will identify Dai .......... wwooww again, you scratch my back and I will scratch yours ............. and by the same logic then Mukasir should be appointed and identified by Mazoon, no?? So why dont we first ask Mukasir to identify 'true' Mazoon first ...?? Most likely Mr. Hussain Bhai has to say 'true' Mazoon was Mr. Khozema, cannot say any other name as he has been MAzoon for last 50 years ......... NOW he claims he is Dai ............ and will appoint Mazoon and Mukasir .......... so whats the problem?? Secondly being 'true' Dai most certainly he is communicating with 'true' Imam (as only he knows/can identify) ......... so whats the problem?? Declare Mr Khozema Qutbuddin as 53rd Dai.

The position of Mazoon is vacant in both Syedna Qutbuddin - Fatemi Dawat and Shz Muffadal Dawat, Once the Ilham of Allah and the Imam is received by Syedna Qutbudin the appointment to the position of Mazoon will be made and also whether the Allah and the Imam wish to retain Syedi Hussain Bhai Saheb Hussamudin in Rutba of Mukasir will be made. Shz Muffadal will have to decide among Shz Qaid Johar, Shz Malek ul Ashter and Badri Jamali as to how to allocate the positions without a fallout. Issue of Mansoos of the Dai is also very important.

We take Ilham as something physical it is not, it is divine communication similar to inspiration i.e. a Eureka moment, It could come as a dream, or when one is in Sajda. This inspiration can come to anyone who sincerely prays to Allah as to any doubts or questions one has especially praying to Allah before one goes to sleep and requests Allah to give him/her guidance.

So it is ok to assume that ilham can come to both contestants if they have been sincerely praying to Allah.

So since the judge is receiving ilham, the judge should be the 53rd Dai. And since the judge will be appointing the Dai, the judge might even be the Imam. And since we have found the Imam, who needs the Dai. :wink:

When I was a kid, and the reference to Imam-uz-Zaman came, the elders address him as purdah-imam or Imam-purdah-ma-che ! I used to wonder/imagine that Imam is hiding behind the purdah (curtain) of the qiblah of the mashjid. Few years down the line, when SMB would lead prayers, after or before prayer he would be in the Qiblah and curtains are drawn. I used to wonder/imagine that he is in conversation with Imam behind the purdah (curtain) and that is why the term Purdah-Imam came into being.
