Why r dawoodi bhoras so meek and stupid?

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.

Why r dawoodi bhoras so meek and stupid?

Unread post by Deerseye » Wed Apr 10, 2013 7:46 am

I have been raised up in a family which gives great importance to education and at the same time we were deeply religious. But luckily my elders always shied away from dai worship. I thank my stars I was born into such a family. Now at a mature age I can easily sit on the brink of this society and analyse why things are going so wrong.as the years are progressing the younger generation of the dai is straying away from the teachings of the Quran not that their fathers were much afraid of the almighty, but since their numbers are increasing, and insecurity also is growing in the same proportion they want to gather maximum resources for seven generations. The important question is that the common dawoodi bohra who pays minimum vajebaat and sabil, knows how to lap up to the local aamil, takes benefit of which ever scheme available, and enjoys rich food in the jamaat has got it all laid out on a platter. Why will he ever revolt?he will always stand with folded hands and do the dais shukr, it is the middle class of bohras who will have to take a stand, because the corporate bohra is already in partnership with the members of syednas family,save a few honest souls, so ultimately the responsibility of cleansing the system has to be taken up by young, educated, Allah fearing youth. Any takers?.....

Then do what we do deerseye.

Stay within the fold and try and clean things up from within. there is a lot of corruption. start small. talk to people around you in the jamat and tell them to contribute to poor people in their areas instead of giving ziafat and doing salaam. Pay waajebaat and sabil, that is something that cannot be avoided if you want to stay within the fold, for sure.

teach people that Allah comes first, then RasullAllah SAW and then Maula Ali, Imam Hassan, Imam Hussain, ImamUsZamaan and then our Aqa Maula.

Dont keep saying "when will things change" or "why cant someone do something about this". and for sure, dont stand outside and critisize like most people here.

Be the change that you want to see

They are meek and stupid because they 'believe' Janat can be 'purchased' in this world by 'paying' to Dai and his henchmen. They have replaced fear of Allah with fear of Dai and have placed their faith in worship of mortals and deads/graves.

Cannot they see that TODAY Dai-Allah is so weak and unable to help himself!! Where is his Imam??

zinger; you are asking people to double dip. pay sabil and wajebaats and also give to the poor and needy.
you cannot change the dirty policies of the jamaat goonda mafia withen your jamaat because that is the reason they joined the jamaat committee in the first place.. They paid handsomely and had to bow low down to become a jamaat committee member. The reason they did it, so they can rule over you, show who is boss, get a little recognition, and ofcourse the two mithas, two kharas and special treatement. they enforce the dirty policies of the amil for their own benifits so how can you expect them to change. lol

Zinger,

When you say 'teach people that Allah comes first, then RasullAllah SAW and then Maula Ali, Imam Hassan, Imam Hussain, ImamUsZamaan and then our Aqa Maula[/color]' you have given all the rights to Dai and his henchmen - if you 'BELEIVE' in Maula, then AGREE to everything he says - there cannot be options or choices.

The fact of the matter is that ALLAH comes first and ALLAH comes last. He is not to be shared or has not to be part of any chain. He IS and He is. Prophets came with His message and were messangers and did their job, period. We respect the messangers but pray to Allah only.

Can we try addressing what does the community mean to us ?

What is it that we are looking to give and get out of it ?

Let me try to state what I am looking from it : there are not only 5 point sbut for discussion

1. It is a source of community where we share our Islamic beleif in a language and culture that we are comfortable
2. It provides some faith related services like priests for marriage, death, occassions
3. It can grow the community intellectually and evolve into a society that is adoptible to its environement and surroundings
4. Where we can contribute , question and make people with responsibility accoutnatble for its affairs , make administrative changes,
5. Deepen understanding of spirituality and ensure out path and hsitory are authentic and not distorted for manipulation

Now there are many issues that distort my needs from the community and unfortunately the current administration violently puts down decent because it does not feel really threatened that there will be a mass backlash . They have successfully brainwashed people to accept their slavery.

Zinger says we should do it from within...but the community is not mature to accept secular or diverse beliefs. There is a big difference how the Surat or Nairobi abdes think from how the Western jamaats operate. I can really doubt if in the west a Bohra shabbab can become physically aggressive.

Others say we stay out of it , let us leave and join others or live "agnostic" lives. In the west probably this will be a new future and my children will care less what happens to the Diai or Bohras. I can do what I can to make sure atleast I tried giving them an option to choose a new re-reformed Bohra perspective. I rather try and fail and not try and regret.

Some want to form an atlernative opposition...it has its issue there is so much disagreement between PDB and non PDB. So until we reach a consensus and have reform of the reform party, Kothar can relax and shoot down a few stray bullets to just make sure they are awake.

This is a good discussion and look forward to anyone having other ideas how to uprrot crruption and modernise Bohra community.

Fateh,
Why exactly do we need a guru? Are not the teachings of the holy Quran, the khutbahs of Ali, the hadees of the Rasool sufficient guidance to get us through life?

Yes sir we need guru for our spiritual journey of life. The holy Quran, the khutbahs of Ali, the hadees of the Rasool gives us only a direction of a path ,as like books in our school & collage for education .But we still need a teacher or professor for teaching those particular subject.

and how do you know this teacher really speaks the truth about Allah or puts his own two penney worth. The quran is full of parables and Allah clearly states we guide who we wish, And then an ayah for moses' you cannot teach the deaf nor can you give the message to dead. The people who will listen to you are the ones whose hearts we have opened". The issue of right teacher to teach religion is inherint baseless. If you recognize a doctrate from cairo university in religious study as an answer to your religious leader, think twice.

if any of you had given it a thought ,it may have dawned on you that the pioneer of the muslim religion; Mohammed, the Rasool did neither read nor write. All he had was a heart of gold. Recall the incidence when he went to Taif to preach his sermons and people started pelting stones; the love of Allah cried out to Mohammed that the town of Taif should perish, but the golden heart of Mohammed stopped it.
Love and respect for another is God,and that in essence is the religion of Allah and his Rasool.

Mohammed, the Rasool did neither read nor write.
'S' don't even spare Prophet Mohammed s.a.w.w. to justify jahalat of their -, -, and -.

Quran 4:113 - But for the Grace of Allah to thee and his Mercy, a party of them would certainly have plotted to lead thee astray. But (in fact) they will only Lead their own souls astray, and to thee they can do no harm in the least. For Allah hath sent down to thee the Book and wisdom and taught thee what thou Knewest not (before): And great is the Grace of Allah unto thee.

This verse proves that not a single thing in both worlds is left excluded from the knowledge of the Prophet Mohammed s.a.w.w. So Prophet s.a.w.w. does knew to read and write..

I do not think none neither 'Think' nor badrijanab are Sunni. Badrijanab is Sunni hater and any post which is different from his POV, he assumes it is from Sunni and he strikes back to Sunni.

Unfortunately banning me from 2 DB related forum was to prevent Thread turning into Shia Sunni slug fast. But this gives Badrijanb free platform for Sunni bashing.
Admin should permit POV in response to this attack.

it was the inspiration of Allah through gabriel. Depends at what age of Mohammed you are refering to. At the tender age when he was an orphan, or the 40 years spent in the caves ,or the 12 years of Madinah.
yes, it is very true he was bestowed with the knowledge of the universes, after the 40 years of constant inquisition to find the self and was then emancipated through the wisdom of the creator to the world beyond.
I stay firm on the issue of not being able to read or write; but then were it a requirement for him to gain the knowledge; certainly not. It was an inspiration, a sixth sense if you so please. He did not attend and had no need to attend any madrassah per say.

HUmble? have u seen a bohra in mosque? he will shout and abuse in masjib, like masjid is his baap kaa ghar.
honest? bohra have lost these qualities in last 200 years time span.
responsible citizen? while people are in chaos, bohras are busy in there own little world forgetting hardship of general people....

White kurta,white ijar and bhori kaka topi I am announcing it loud and clear that I am different from others. So hate me. Some meek people follow along even though they look like an oddball in general society. Now being meek is one thing but to top it off with Saya say pretty much that I am stupid also.

Ammar Bhai, due to this arrogance adopted by the ABDES all Bohras are put in problem in Pakistan. No one can surely claim who is right and who is not. It is the Faith which you carry in your life because you were born in this Faith house. If you say that Reformist are not in right path then can you prove yourself in right Path? No you cannot. Remember only Quran and GOD is haqiqat and others are Faith. We can debate on faith but cannot challange any one's faith. Faith is a part of religon but has a certain parameters. If your belief is within the Parameters defined then its ok otherwise you have crossed the line of Shirk and Bidat which currently the Bohras doing. JUST REMEMBER ONE THING MY BROTHER, No one has return from his Grave till yet,so we can make our belief only from the Holy books we read or learn from what we are taught.. If by chance someday some one resurrected and came back then all the shops will close down.

WHEN I WAS SMALL I USED TO HEAR FROM MY MOTHER THAT IF SOMEONE'S DIE ON FRIDAY HE WILL DIRECTLY GO TO JANNAT! AND I USED TO ASK HER DID HUSSAIN DUSMANO ALSO WENT TO JANNAT AS THEY WERE ALSO KILLED ON FRIDAY. AND SHE DIDN'T HAD ANSWER AS SHE WAS ALSO FED UP WITH THE SAME SPOON AS WE HAVE.

"actually you have no identity, you are affraid ... with fake identity. if you have guts than say publicly or with true identity",

"if you are than give your ITS ID along with password."

we are all waiting to get your real identity with address, contacts and ITS ID with password. if you are a true fanatic abdesyedna bohra, you should not be afraid and you should have the guts, confidence and conviction.

Can you and Dawaat e Hadiya promise me if I give you my real name you will not track me or my family down and harass me. Do you and DH commit that you will take this debate as free speech and respect the law that allows me to have a liberal debate.

I mean if you think I may have offended you you can press civil charges and we sort it out in court

I wait for your reply and I will give you my real name if you promise me and tell me which Shazada après the promise.
