Suggestions for topics on Fatemi Dawat weekly newsletter

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.

The team behind the weekly newsletter is doing a good job. I want to start this thread so that users like us can request certain type of content. Wanted to start from the basics and was hoping for the following:
1. translation of wazu and namaz doas
2. weekly discussion of a Ayat, Rasulullah SAW hadees qudsi and Mola Ali AS Qalaam mubarak
3. section should be started, where user questions are answered in the news letter, so that all can benefit. For instance, how do people manage roza's if work is outside kasar area. etc..

everyone pls add to this list

one very interesting topic would be the rich history of dawat. Maybe starting from the prophet, and moving down towards the duat in India. Highlighting major events and riwayats. This will also shed light onto the struggles Dawat has gone through and sacrifices made, eg. Karbala, Ahemdabad. The socio-economic conditions etc ...

I recommend two books if anyone wants to study the origins of Dawoodi Bohras:

The Bohras by Asghar Ali Engineer
Mullahs on the Mainframe by Jonah Blank

I was always intrigued by Syedna Moayyaid Shirazi and his work which was fundamental in preparation of the Satr Dawat. Very little known about his own personal life, until I came across this book by Dr. Tahera Qutbuddin: Al-mu'ayyad Al-shirazi And Fatimid Da'wa Poetry: A Case Of Commitment In Classical Arabic Literature
Available on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Tahera-Qutbuddin/e/B001JXNDOW

The intro talks in great detail about Syedna Moayyaid's struggles and his own personal endeavour to receive the dua of the Imam. The book is about how he establishes the lofty position Imam amongst the Umma as the true Amir-al-Mumineen. He does this with only his PEN, showing his poetic and literary genious.

An easier read is a book about the sayings of Mola Ali AS http://www.amazon.com/Treasury-Virtues- ... 874&sr=1-1
