Keep the good work up. Hope these activities are pursued not for profit.

Before baap-beta (TS & MB), for past seven hundred years; the Dawoodi Bohras were the single most beneficent community in India which can be proven from the 'Shahi Farman' issued by Mughal Emperor Humanyu. And similar royal decree was issued by H.E. Maharana Sajjan Singh Ji of Mewar.

Unfortunately these baap-beta have hijacked the Dawat like Sambhri did to people of Mooses. Mumineen donated for the Charni Hospital with zeal that their commoner (the poorest of their Bohra mumineen) will get proper and full hospitality and care. Unfortunately Quaid Johar sahib siphoned everything of Charni Hospital and made it as his private property. It has now become a business only for making profit personally for Quaid Johar!

Sister Munira,

And that's why today Muffat-Dal 'claims' that this Dawoodi Bohra Community is his 'baap-dada' kee jageeer .......

Hi Munira,

With new generation taking over more responsibilities, things are improving this side. But we ismailis (Bohras and Nizaris) are so small in numbers making a big change is tough. We need a lot more Aga Khans, Bohra Dawats, Edhis to reach everyone. Hopefully in coming decades we will see more changes in Muslims world. There is so much energy in Muslims world, I hope this will not get wasted.

Who currently owns the Shahi Farman document? It is a great Bohra heritage.

In time of Mohamed PBUH we Muslims were minority in comparison to Christians, or in severe minority in comparison to the then world population. Then in time of Mola Ali (A) we Shia's were again small in number than Sunni's. With small numbers also Fatimi Imam a.s. have successfully established the Islamic sultanate and rooted out even Abbasi's from their citadel of Baghdad, throughout 300 years of their sultanate in the holy city of Mecca and Medina in Friday Khutba name of Fatimi Imams was recited, in Azaan (call for prayers) name of Mola Ali and Fatimi Imams were recited in Kaaba and in Masjid-a-Nabwi.....

Despite being small in number, all the then major inventions and discoveries have been commissioned and achieved during the era of Fatimi Imams. Abbasi caliph loosed almost all of their knowledge seekers to Fatimi Cairo where students boarding and lodging were free besides paying them stipend while they learn and ultimately mentored by Fatimi Imams.

Read the book on Umar Khayyam, it will be revealed and proved to you that Ibn Sina was ardent followers of Fatimi Imams, whose books were for centuries became the standard part of curriculum. Hasan ibn Hytham was promoted and facilitated by Fatimi Imams - Imam Hakim (A) bestowed the world to reveal via Ibn Hytham that how human eye see anything - and nullified wrong theories of Greek giants Plato, Ptolemy, and Euclid. Where else Sunni Abbasi caliph copy/pasted all Greek literature in Arabic and circulated in there subject so scholars do not leave their fold! Ithna Asheri scholars like Shaharistani too adopted the teaching of Fatimi Imams and discarded his own Ithna Asheri school.

Too much to write....

Let me wrap up by answering your last point: The royal decree of Mughal King Humanyu is public document. I quoted it from Sunni historian book, refer to the attachment, in this book the text of shahi-farmaan with Urdu translation is on Page# 141 and 142.

Very nice. Thank you for such a nice post. With busy and stressful life I forgot that many times in history small number of people have made a lot of difference. Thank you again for refreshing my memories. Love your post and thank you for sharing the document.
