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.

Here is the news I retrieved from the site malumaat.com- It glorifies the Syedna as meeting with the high officials but gives no details as to what was discussed in those meetings-This has been the case all the time ever since the site opened-Can some of the abde syednas explain the reason why is the community kept in dark about this- Failing to explain that I presume most of these meetings are held to fill the pockets of these corrupt politicians in power so that they (Kothar) can keep on doing all the illegal & corrupt practices & avoid all the investigations on their huge empire!

Thank you Average Bohra- I can not make any sense out of his vaez at all- It is utter nonsense for a so called learned man to deliver a vaez like that! I wonder what sort of blunder he makes when he meets all the politicians around the world ! He must be making a laughing stock out of himself plus a bad image for a bohra community!

Once again we see the likes of Mohd Hussain talking BS and spinning the truth beyond all comprehension. His forked tongue knows no bounds!
He is advising you that it is O.K . to do Gunahs (Sins) & then just wash it out by doing the Matam!
That's not what was being said at all. The report you so stupidly assume to comment upon was a write up of the events of lailat ul qadr in Mumbai - not the words of Mola himself. If you had but one god fearing bone in your body you would have been admitting your sins and asking allah for forgiveness.

Instead you commit yet more gunnah by posting such ludacrous tosh.

Spin it some more...... like you always do!

Following the washeq, Aqa Maula,
after pressing his right cheek 40 times and his left cheek 40 times,
with great emotion, invoked wasilo
Aqa Maula prayed for Mumineen very extensively.
“All of us have accumulated as many sins as there are grains in sand,
more sins than can be counted.
Sinning has become a habit with us.”
Then he said,
“Inshallah, when we approach the dawn, we will be forgiven our sins (lit. we will be without sin due to our prayers tonight).
Perform pur-josh maatam for Our Lady Fatema a.s.
And shed tears.
Weep so much that your musalla becomes wet with your tears.

[To be fair, there is no suggestion here that sinning is ok if you just beg forgiveness later].

I agree

Their appears to be an inference that planned aansu on demand might set you free.

As I write this I am researching other religions where such planned, public, coordinated display of grief is encouraged; specifically tears.

Absolutely. There is a quote attributed to Imam Jaafar al-Sadiq which goes something like this.
"Weep for Hussain. One tiny tear will open the gates of heaven for you. If you are unable to shed a tear, make your face appear sad as if about to cry. Even that will be enough to grant you paradise."

Another quote from Imam. "Every day is Aashura and every land is Karbala."

Bohras have taken Imam literally to heart and beat themselves at all times.

Previously, I had written in reply to Qiyam that
I had never seen anyone beating themselves on their own after farad namaaz. Alas, I must take that back. I now see, mainly youngsters, quickly beat their breasts about seven to ten times before tasbih. Quite a spectacle. A recent innovation of the Dai guaranteed to gewt a Dawoodi to heaven! No questions asked by the angels in the grave!!

Aga Khani greeting is "Ya Ali Madad" Before Bohras start greeting one another with "Ya Dai Madad", I have a suggestion. When they greet, they shoud say "Ya Hussain" twice while beating their breasts twice. This will gladden the heart of Aqa Maula.

Ironic isn't it how now having acertained what was actually said and acknowledging that [there] was no suggestion here that sinning is ok if you just beg forgiveness later the best you all can do is talk of inferences!

Mohd Hussain - when your own reformist chums agree with me that really does say something about your pathetic attempts to constantly look for negatives in anything we say or do.

I am not brainwashed and i understand satire and criticism just fine. What i am not is definately a spinmeister who siezes every morsel of information i can lay my grubby little hands on and manipulate it to suit my own ends. You must visit our sites all the time to try and get information that you can spin. You must really envy us huh?

Don't post such garbage and i'll go easier on you . Even your own side agree with me. Surely that's saying something about your abilites to argue?

You said:

You must remember that your Sultan is leading you away from true Islam by telling you gems like Cry for so and so and beat yourself silly for so and so. These are last days of Ramadan and your time will be better spent in extra prayers as done by our Rasul. What you Bohras are doing was never done by our Rasul.

It has been reported in an authentic narration that the Prophet of Allah (saws) said: “ Whoever introduces a ‘bida’ (innovation) in this deen brought by me (Mohamed (saws)), it will be rejected .”
Sahih Muslim Hadith 1885 Narrated by Jabir ibn Abdullah

That the Prophet of Allah (saws) said in a sermon: “ The best speech is that which is embodied in the Book of Allah, the Al Quran; and the best guidance is the guidance given by me, Mohamed (saws). The most evil affairs are the innovations, and every innovation is an error.

If anything is considered part of the deen of Islam, then it is our belief as believers that it was revealed by Allah Subhanah and practiced by the Messenger of Allah (saws). It is also our belief as believers, that there is no man who ever walked on this planet earth who worshipped and obeyed Allah Subhanah better than the Noble Messenger of Allah, Mohamed ar-Rasool Allah (saws).

So whatever you do make sure it is in Quran or was Suuah of our prophet.

Wasalaam

Only Allah SWT knows if Imaam Jaafar ever said it or not but Bohras have taken it to extreame to the extent that they no longer care to worship Allah but believe in salvation by following their Sultan in doing something which has no basis in Al-Quran or Sunnah of Prophet.

Br. Muslim First, You mention

That is can be said about anything that happened in the Life of anybody.

The point is, how much do you understand the between the lines in the Holy Quraan. You are going by interpretations of various Ulema's who do not have the authority to translate the Quraan. Allah Taala has designated Rasullalah and his progeny to be custodians of the real meaning. Tell me, What does "Alif Laam Meem" mean on its own. Without context and proper guidance you will be lost. Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin Saheb is the representative of Imaam in seclusion who has given him Raza for spreading the true meaning in the Quraan. You need to first beleive and then the light will come to you. If you question the basic premise then you will linger in the darkness.

Alif, Laam, Meem???

I have this baatin version from a senior Dawoodi.

With reference to the start of al-Baqara,

Alif=Allah
Laam = Ali (ibn Abi Taalib)
Meem = Muhammad (Rasulullah)

Why is Ali before Muhammad? Because Muhammad was sent to identify and proclaim Ali as the foundation (asas) of Imamat. While Prophethood has ended, Imamat will go on till day of judgment and is supposed to be almost as eternal as Allah himself.

Second ayat of al-Baqara states: That is the book. In it there is no dispute.

"The book", therefore, is the Imamat and is symbolised in every age by the person of Imam al-Zamaan. Imam therfore is the real book and is called the Quran Naatiq.

So, in the Quran, the words book and Imam carry the same meaning. The case in point is the last sentence in 36:12 (ya Seen). It states that "All (knowledge) is vested in the true Imam". Sunnis translate Imam as the book. But Bohras know better. It really refers to Imam al-Zamaan.

Since everything is in Imam. then Imam is the Univcerse, the real singularity from which the Universe exploded with a big bang.

As we all know, Imam, in his grat hikmat, has decided on his own big bang by vesting all knowledge in the Dai. Therefore, in the new age, it is the Dai who is the axis on which the universte turns. So Dai is the book referred to in al-Baqara and so it is. I have spoken the truth.

Long live the Dai. He is the truth, the way and the salvation.

This "everyday is Ashura" bit is keeping this average Bohra mighty busy.....surely Dai is using my money for good stuff....I mean something is surely left over after his family is done with it...right ? :confused:

I mean everytime there is a tragedy or a new Masjid, more cash is collected, yet Qiyams of the world believe that the Dai spends a lot of cash.... his cash

...anyway who am I to question, today is Ahsura, everyday is Ashura, Matam, Kadam Bosi, ...bro' it keep this average Bohra mighty busy....

I'm afraid your attempts at wit fall flat on their face. It's clear you have no idea of what was actually said and the context in which it was spoken. Equally clear is your beligerence towards the very real sacrifice of Imam hussain and the ahle bait. If you had any semblence of understanding of the significance of their sacrifice and the fact that they died that you might live, then you wouldn't be dissing the way you are. Don't you reformists believe in Imam Hussain anymore?

If you haven't got anything better to do then make disparaging remarks then button your lip. Argue intelligently if you can but don't post stupid remarks which arn't even funny.

Br. Mumin First
AS
Let me answer your post point by point

"The point is, how much do you understand the between the lines in the Holy Quraan."

If religion was my full time business and I was avers to creating my batin version of Qur'an then I would let my imigination go. There will alwas stupid Sheep like you to latch on to. At present I am busy understanig apperent meaning of Qur'an and there is plenty of material to study.

"You are going by interpretations of various Ulema's who do not have the authority to translate the Quraan."

Show me where in Qur'an or Sunnah of Prophet it says that you have to have authority to translate Qur'an? There is no true translation of Qur'an. All translations around are "Interprated Translations. If you show me prohibition of Translation of Qur'an then I will stop studying Translations.

"Allah Taala has designated Rasullalah and his progeny to be custodians of the real meaning. Tell me, What does "Alif Laam Meem" mean on its own."

Show me where it is said in Qura'an? See purush's response on Alef,Laam,Mim. If you want to read on Muqatat (abrivated letters) there is good write-up in Yusuf Ali's and ASAD's translation.

"Without context and proper guidance you will be lost."

No brother I am not lost. You are lost bacause you are blindly following a person.

"Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin Saheb is the representative of Imaam in seclusion who has given him Raza for spreading the true meaning in the Quraan. You need to first beleive and then the light will come to you. If you question the basic premise then you will linger in the darkness.

Why is Imaam in seclusion? There is no such thing as Imaam-Zaman. let me qoute Humsafar what he wrote about Imaam-ZAman:
""As for the Imam in seclusion, it has become a myth for all religious purposes.But the current Bohra priests want to sustain and perpetuate it for the very practical purpose of legitimacy and fooling the public".(Obviously for their money making scheme)."
Wasalaam.

Mumin First,

I see you are a pro at Baatin. Please enlighten us on the baatin of the following ayat from an-Nisa, 4:174

"O mankind! Burhan has come to you from your lord. Lo, we have sent you a true light (of deen)."

That is my translation. See how I have made 'B' of Burhan upper case and 'l' of lord in lower case. As we, the true mukhliseen, mumineen know, every ayat in the Quran points (ishaaro kare che) towards Aqa Maula.

To aa baabat per zor kari-ne apan sagla ne aa noorani kalemaat nu haqiqat-ma su ilm chhe, teni waaqefiyat araz farmavo. Aqa tamne ghani dua aape.

Actually, it is the last part of ayat 111 from al-baqarah [2:111]

Waqaloo lan yadkhula aljannata illa man kana hoodan aw nasara tilka amaniyyuhum qul hatoo burhanakum in kuntum sadiqeena
And they say: "None shall enter Paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian." Those are their (vain) desires. Say: "Produce your proof if ye are truthful."

The whole ayat is from al-baqarah (2.111)

Wa qaloo, “lan yadkhula al-jannata illa man kana hoodan aw nasara”
Tilka amaniyyu-hum.
Qul “Hatoo Burhana-hum, in kuntum saadiqeen.”

And they say “Only the Jews and Christians will enter paradise.”
That is their wishful thinking.
Say “Bring your Burhan if you are truthful” .

Needless to say, only Bohras will be able toi produce Burhan Aqa, and only they will enter paradise.
