The legacy of Sayedna Mohammed Burhanuddin

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.

Bismillah...

I was so disturbed by random schemes and stupid events taking place in dawat which made me stand against SMB as well, but as now things are clear he was a genuine person with good intentions but he could not execute them as he should, because of his family and YN pressure.

now I can see clear culprits of all these non sense which was going on in kothar from last several years.

when SMB died I didnt felt any pain and didnt paid him last good bye, but I think it was a mistake. any ways I had my own reasons and anger which kept me aside from grief and pain.

I have always prayed for good and genuine people who really wants to work for ISLAM and wants to bring truth and justice in system.

my condolence to Sir Muhammed Burhanuddin (RA)

btw there is nothing wrong to explore world, I personally have visited 17 different countries at the age of 29 so far, and I plan to explore more Inshallah Ameen.

but again, offcourse trips were from my own pocket and not from people's contribution. :D

as far as trips are under islamic guidelines every thing is okay.

Australia maybe an exception and indeed they export halal meat. I think Australia is probably only place other than Arab Muslim countries where most meat is halal slaughtered.

But European countries, even india, USA Canada, operating assumption is meat is not Zabihat slaughtered, and "halal" status has to be established. In india, there is Sikhs who slaughter according to "jhutka" so that's a problem in india.

your attempts at adding 2 and 2 are quite pathetic GM bhai, because you came up with 11.

Even i can post a pic of you perhaps, with an x-grade movie theatre in the background and say that you enjoy watching sleazy movies. in fact i can even claim that i saw you walking out of it, holding hands with jew and a hindu !!!

Also, you posted a pic of Aqa Maula sitting in a restaurant and claimed it was a non-muslim restaurant.

Seriously Bro. Grow up. dont be so eager to earn brownie points in front of others that you only show yourself to be a fool

you do realise how ridiculous your post looks like now, dont you.

Are we giving more credit than SMB deserves! If one looks at the current mess between SMS and SKQ , both related one the son and another step brother.

Why are we so naive not to trace the issue to SMB . Did he create the doubt in his children's minds directly or indirectly not to respect the position of Mazoon . Did he ever want to give the inheritance to anyone but one of his children ! Of his so many sons I really doubt he would want to pass it on to a step brother, even if he was the most knowledge able.

If we can claim SMS was exploiting SMB , why would we not apply the same to SMB exploiting STS ?

Did SMB intentionally not give SKQ the title, knowing it will jeopardise his credibility if SKQ fought back during his reign.

Did SMB do a double deal with SMS and SKQ to play it safe.

Is Mazoon being too nice not to raise those issues knowing that abdes blindly follow SMB , raising it would be counter productive .

Did STS leave a time bomb , to please the children of all his wives . Not realising they would also have greed which will grow as their coffers grow.

Is it possible to ignore all SMS and SKQ and chart a new future without STS decendents.

Does evil progeny signify evil parent? Who was Abu Lahab LA? Countless examples exist as you may know.

What was Syedna Abdullah Badruddin RA relation to his naas (predecessor), Syedna Burhanuddin RA - A Brother. Again, countless examples exist as you may know. This chain is unbroken and will stay that way. Dawat ul Haq

If you have no belief that this is Daawat ul Haq then that is a whole different argument and for another time provided there is a will.

Indeed it is Allah ta who alone gives hidayat...

Bohra spring wrote:Did he ever want to give the inheritance to anyone but one of his children !
Yes !! He was keen on passing on the mantle to SKQ because it was STS' wish and that's the main reason that he kept delaying the Nass because he was under tremendous pressure from his own sons who wanted to grab the coveted post.
Bohra spring wrote:If we can claim SMS was exploiting SMB , why would we not apply the same to SMB exploiting STS ?
No !! STS was very powerful and no one had the guts to oppose him in any matters and SMB was initially very mild and soft spoken too. Hence, there is no chance that SMB or anyone else could have his way, least of all exploit him.
Bohra spring wrote:Did SMB do a double deal with SMS and SKQ to play it safe.
No ! As I said earlier, SMB was keen on appointing SKQ only and the London Nass drama is a cooked up story which is being fought by SKQ.
Bohra spring wrote:Did STS leave a time bomb , to please the children of all his wives .
I and many others have mentioned this much earlier that STS had decided to appoint SKQ because that was the pre-condition imposed by SKQ's mother before marrying STS. She wanted her son (SKQ) to be the next heir to the throne after SMB in order that her children were treated equally as compared with SMB's mother.

GM Bhai

Thank you this is interesting investigative reporting.

Why I am stating SMB is the accomplice . Human nature in 1968 STS as a dying father would have done a wasiyat that the elder son looks after the younger son. The elder son respectfully agrees. STS insists one of his prince SKQ gets appointed as Mazoon , while his other son is Mukasir and YN is given back office control. So all wives seem to have no hangovers.

50 years on the fathers love for his sons will naturally grow , they are with him in and out . However bad a son is the father naturally looks at the son. We as subjects on the other hand would love and hope he SMB has more interest of the community than his immediate family. We were programmed and brainwashed into believers that the Diai is for the mumineen. But he goes home as a father, a king needs a prince . And he has lots of princes.

50 years on he is in dilemma there is a fathers wishes vs his children's wishes . I would also have difficulty leaving behind all this wealth to my brother and ignore my son and daughter. SMB would be ready to go against the wishes of STS and even if he did who would correct it or expose it. None of this Nass is done openly with independent witnesses or through courts. Written docs , how reliable and secure are they after 50 years.

Kakiji would have been easy problem if he had abdicated or died and SMB had to appoint a Mazoon and this would have been from one of his princes . But SMB lived long and everyone else lived long. They delayed solving the problem and the stroke came through.

Even when the tamasha of Nass were done SKQ publicly ignored. This is a mystery to be solved. The explanation of keeping it secret was a con from SMB and SKQ complied naively or SKQ has found a loophole in the events to reverse it.

Smb for many reason says one of the princes should look after the assets and wealth. And be nice and look after the kakaji. Which I must say Muffy is planning to give generously to SKQ , but only a fraction. He has said it in public.

But SKQ is betrayed he waited 50 years, did everything that was asked of him. He even ensured he was competent. But he cannot blame SMB as he loves him like a brother the son of his father STS . He can blame his nephews and he is. He would destroy his hope of victory if he is seen to attack SMB policy. It is a calculated strategy.

Now ABdes or honest mumineen will try hard to find reasons from brief history to find explanations to see who should inherit and all is logically explained. And Diai is not natural parent he does not care about his own sons and daughters .

The test is how did he surround all his administration with the princes, how come no one of authority was ever a am admi. He has not shown same regard of pedantic way in following the majority of Islamic rituals . So he has a history of stretching Islamic rules as it applies to his own personality and operations. Eg barat, wealth distribution, Shikar, testimony in cases, Sunni issues.

Open for further insight and discussions

This does not imply SKQ is not a better leader it is just how he gets the leadership that is interesting . I would still support SKQ over SMS . What I am criticising the over reliance on Nass concept. But it must be something the majority Bohras would consider a good way of determining a Diai . So why not use it. Any stick is a good stick to herd the sheep.

I wonder why are SMS and SKQ fighting over for wealth in public ? Denting the faith and putting the kothar’s control machinery in jeopardy ! There is enough wealth, resources in their control to live a luxurious life at abde’s expense. With regards to power and rule, abdes submit to any 2-penny representative from kothar. Every kothari gets their share of “praja” to rule over.

Whatever is written in the charter on SKQ’s dawat is applied honestly then the true leader will really stand out. SMS camp does not wish to put their charter in writing. I also feel, SMS too is also a puppet in hands of his brothers and possibly ambitious young generation ! He must be chosen to take care of symbolic rituals and presentations of dawaat, while the issues are controlled by his brothers and children.

The strength of kothar lies in stealth ( taqiyet) and over the time, political contacts ! Kothar talk everything !! Abdes here everything !! but no one is listening and saying !! Kothar has wild imagination to churn out mojizas and next moment quickly plead innocence of being ignorant (masoom) of evils in their camps.

i have heard something interesting, can anyone shed light on this if this is true or not?
we have dai-ul mutlaq. in the sameway there is another rutba of dai-ul-naaim also written in iqwanus-safa and another books. mutlaq means absoulute and full raza accounting to no one except imam, who is in purdah means practically accountable to no one.
while naaim means not full authority but decision taken in consultation with four or five highly appointed people.
this happens when nass is not clearly done or in case of ambiguity. the high ranking official select one who is most likely having all qaulities of dai and appoint him as dai-ul-naaim and he has to rule in consulting them in imp matters.
this happend when 46th dai passed away without explicitly doing nass. four high ranking people appoint yusuf najmuddin as dai-ul-naaim and said nass was done on him to avoid chaos in the community. but then he himself proclaimed himself as dai-ul-mulaq. and when he was opposed by this 4 people. he excommunicated them.

this fact that 47 dai was not dai-ul-mutlaq, but he was dai-ul-naaim is accepted by STS in his interview given to karachi newspaper Don, while he was visiting karachi.
i want somebody to ascertain the above facts are true or not?

what you chose is badrijanab's subject. He might tell you about all the lineage of the so called sect which secluded itself from 47th Dai and its current whereabouts.
For bohras 47th Dai is always Syedna Abdul Qadir Najmuddin RA.

i know that and i am not arguing about that--47the dai is abdul qadir najmuddin- no qualms about it.
what i am asking is he was appointed as dai-ul - naim and not as dai-ul-mutlaq--and this was accepted by
STS in his interview to Don newspaper of karachi.

In Islamic jargon Taghoot has following characteristics:
- Anyone who is worshiped besides Allah, and is pleased with it. e.g: Isaa a.s is not taghoot although people worshiped him as he himself did not seek worship. wheras Pharoh is taghoot as he ordered people to prostrate to him and worship him, his subjects would be called Abde- Pharoah
- The unjust ruler\leader who changes the laws of Allah to his own suiting and vested interests
- The one who claims to have knowledge of the unseen
