how do elaborate makbara's elevate the status?

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.

how do elaborate makbara's elevate the status?

this is a question to the aalims on this board.

how does building elaborate makbara's impact on the worldly character and status of the individual buried therein? let us assume that tomorrow dawood ibrahim dies and his family constructs a beautiful mausoleum around his kabr, decorate it with marble carvings, gilded arches and domes inlaid with expensive imported and engraved tiles and inscribe its walls with the quran in letters of gold and embedded with diamonds, would it mean that all his sins - murders, banditry, money laundering, prostitution rackets, drug rackets, hawala rackets, extortion, intimidation etc - are forgiven by allah? just by the fact of having a makbara costing hundreds of crores and having the quran inscribed in it, would it elevate his status? or the most relevant million dollar question, does the act of inscribing the quran on the walls surrounding his kabr result in committing desecration (tauheen) of the quran?

bohras of late have taken to erecting grand mausoleums around the kabrs of their ancestors. this raises pertinent and disturbing questions such as the ones above.

No.

would it elevate his status?

It is a form of respect shown be his belowed. Just as in the past when Qubbas were built around the graves of Prophets, Panjatan and Imams. Unfortunately, your Wahabi friends destroyed them.

does the act of inscribing the quran on the walls surrounding his kabr result in committing desecration (tauheen) of the quran?

Not at all.
By ingraving the Quran in gold, reveres the quran and sanctifies it, in a highly respected manner.
What more respectful to write the words of Allah, in the most valued mineral in the world?
I'm sure your Wahabi friends would agree. The threads made for the Cloth of the Ka'ba where the Quran is stitched, is also made of gold. Nothing wrong with that.
The Quran has also been inscribed by the Shias on Moulana Alis and Imam Husains Zareeh and Mazaar in Karbala and Najaf.

Before you think of "TRYING" to sneak a few insults on DBs.
Think smart.
Don't let your hatred blind you.

The Zareehs of Maolana Ali and Imam Husain ETC. have few aayats of quran regarding the Martyr who died in the way of Allah and not the whole Quran.
In any case are you elevating the Dai to the panjatan level or even above them as the STS has whole Quran in his makbara??

Nothing wrong with that.
Actually there is plenty wrong with that but you are a chameleon. Where Wahhabis do what you do, they become your friends now don't they? Just because a Wahhabi is doing it doesn't make it right. An ayah of the Quran written on the heart is more valuable than the one which is written in gold on the wall. How many people actually read the Quran that is written in gold on the walls you moron? Spend the money, instead of the gold, to teach Quran to the kids who cannot afford it. The prophet (saw) has said that the best amongst you is one who teaches and the one who learns the Quran. Not the one who writes it in gold!!

adam,

you are an expert in fancy footwork, gingerly goose-stepping around the 'real issues. for all your obstinacy and defense of the haramkhor daawat, you are not a fool and you know very well where i am going with this.

1. i do not have any wahabi friends, do you? it seems quite possible you have cultivated a few fanatic wahabi's and include them in your close circle of friends, esp. those who agree with your kufr.
2. according to you, inscribing the quran in letters of gold and precious stones is an act of reverence and sanctifies the quran. my specific question (which you cleverly skirted around) was: what if those quranic inscriptions surround the grave of a known and proven criminal? by deliberately ignoring his crimes and tyranny against humanity and instead attempting to throw a blanket of respectability (by employing religiosity) on his evil deeds and inscribing the quran around his naapaak kabr, does that not mean tauheen of the quran? is it not a sinister and cruel stratagem mis-using the quran to somehow show that the rascal lying therein was a saint?

First question is WHY do you need a Makbara?? All the prophets have been buried is simple graves, thats it. So when first wrong is done, more wrongs are added.
If you give hundreds of milk baths to a black cat, will that turn black cat white?? NEVER.
Same is true for reciting Fateha or Quran Khatums or Hajj Badals for a corrupt and sinful individual ..... God is not that naive ... :roll: in the same way million of Lanat-ullahs would not change the status of good people.

Ask Al Zulfiqar.

P.S - Yes, if Dawoodi Ibrahim isn't a good guy (I don't know him too well), the Quran wouldn't help him, if he didn't act according to his religion.

thank you. thank you!! so that means that (syedna) taher saifuddin isn't being helped any by inscribing the quran in gold around his kabr, as he was a known criminal and did not act according to islam and even common principles of humanity. his crimes against his family members, his conviction in the chandabhai galla case, his persecution and unleashing of terror against the family of his maternal uncle (mamaji) - the luqmanji's, his vicious vendetta against the family of adamjee peerbhai, his aggressively seeking fancy worldly titles such as sarkar e aali, sardaar, etc from the british rulers, his turning the community into slaves by making them call themselves abdesyedna's, changing the sacred misaq by adding allegiance to himself and abrogating to himself supreme powers equal in authority to allah and even claiming it in court; all these and more evil misdeeds abundantly prove that he was totally acting against islam and our deen and the hypocritical act of inscribing the quran on the walls of his tomb is a travesty and tauheen of the holy quran.

it is fitting justice that his kabr is located above a former sewer and in the midst of filth and squalor. no matter how hard his sons try to elevate his status by throwing in gold and diamonds on the walls or renovating bhendi bazaar to highlight his tomb, the fact remains that mis-using the quran will not turn this criminal into a saint.
