Progressive Dawoodi Bohra Beliefs

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.

My conclusion

I am just glad and thankfull that I am just a plain Main Stream Muslim.
Alhmdo Lillah, Subhan Allah


Here is defination of Muslim I like
Here is what Murad Hoffmana former German diplomat writes in his book “Islam the Alternative”

A Muslim lives in a world without clergy and without religious hierarchy; when he prays he does not pray via Jesus, Mary or other interceding saints (like Imams, saints etc), but directly to God-as fully emancipated believer-and this in a religion free of mysteries (like various sects of Shias or other sects). An atmosphere of this kind suits the modern democratic citizen come of age far better than the wondrous, mystery stricken atmosphere of Byzantine and Catholic Churches (or Shia sects), geared towards “Intercession” and focusing sacraments administered by clergymen.

I have added my comments in brackets.

Likewise, if Muffaddal died in Burhanuddin sahab life his name will not be in the list of Dai's.

If, God forbid, Mufaddalbhai Saheb were to die before Sayedna Burhanuddin, he will still be considered the 53rd Dai and his son, who has already been divinely appointed, will be the 54th Dai.(Ofcourse not, just shows the half baked knowledge of this idiot) This is not officially stated of course but everything about Imams and Imamat now applies unchanged to Dais and Daawat, with innovations, I might add.

Profastian was defeanding one of the useless and idiotic post

What I wrote above is not the official Dawoodi Bohra doctrine. It is the belief of the deviants whom we call 'abdes'.

According to abdes, not only are Dais at the same level as the Imams, they are also at the same level as the Prophets. That is why you will find abdes justifying their Dai-worshipping ways by quoting similarly alleged practices performed for Imams and Prophets. We have evidence for this on this board.

Even the Quranic concept of 'najwa' before approaching the Prophet is roped in to justify an offering of a gift to the Dai, even though that is clearly not the intent of God's command.

God's intentions are made clear by God Himself in the Quran.

Your way of putting it certainly makes the reader wonder how insolently you seem to be leading the intentions of Allah instead of letting Him clarifying them.
