aarif,

any particular reason for posting this here? it has been posted, if memory serves me right, atleast twice before on this forum. its a stupid list compiled by some hard-up sycophant insider whose attempts at making up a list by force to praise the syedna are so pathetic, as to make a donkey cry and get afflicted by sars, aids, mad cow, foot and mouth disease and swine flu all together...

the bio of any CEO of a fortune 500 company will be more impressive..!!

[Aarif]

Sorry for posting this again if it has already been posted before. The reason for posting this was obviously to have a good laugh... Ghanu jeevo ghanu jeevo.

[Aarif]

The funny part is that there is no Bohra CEO of fortune 500 company...

[Al Zulfiqar]

thanks for clarifying arif. for a moment i thought you too had been suddenly bitten by the abde-itis virus and had gone stark raving mad...

[guy_sam2005]

are there any reformists????

[SBM]

^
Reformists are part of Bohra Community, they believe in Dawat, they only have problems with transparency and goondasim with the current and immediate former Dais

[Aarif]

Br. AZ,

I am literally shocked that you thought I was bitten by an abde virus. That is the only virus from which I have self-immunized myself for the rest of my life...

[Al Zulfiqar]

arif,

to add to your list as above..

29) the syedna has developed and injected the potent 'abde' virus in about 95% of his community, which can break down the mental and physical defences of his followers and make them utter strangely slavish poems, shout tearful slogans, indulge in hysterical self-flagellation, utter fanatical and dangerously sinister threats against the syedna's perceived enemies and rush to de-skin themselves to prepare traditional indian shoes in his honour. this is a tremendous feat which even the vatican acknowledges as being equal to the heydays of the papal powers when martin luther king lived, albeit foolishly enough to have lost it under tragic circumstances.

30) syedna mohd burhanuddin at the age of 98+, can still take steady aim and kill elephants and wild buffalo with high powered rifles and make them bow in sajda in front of him before they die happily and proceed straight to heaven, while reciting the kalematus shahada, followed by ghanu jeevo! this is a feat not yet emulated by any religious leader and in the annals of islamic history finds no parallel.

31) the syedna mohd burhanuddin has broken all previous dai's records in his visits to accomplish pagla, a bohra custom by which he leaves his imprints in the houses of selected and wealthy followers. this is done in lieu of a hefty fee and by this one simple act alone, he has enriched the coffers of the saifee mahal where he resides, to the point of overflowing. he is the first supreme dai to have done so.

32) he has been also the first muslim in the entire world, who although he is blacklisted to go for haj or umrah, has still got the credit for over 50,000 so far, due to his farmaans to his followers to accomplish same on his behalf. this has for the first time in islamic history defeated the evil caretakers of the kaaba and made them bite the dust.

33) he has been the first dai to have successfully laid foundation stones in the presence of presidents and prime ministers for various grandiose mega projects and yet evaded from ever bringing them into fruition. these amazing accomplishments have far surpassed the feats of the great harry houdini and david copperfield.

34) he is only the 3rd islamic leader after the prophet muhammad and ali ibne abitalib to claim the title of 'natiq-e-quran'.

35) he is the first ever muslim or muslim religious leader to exceed in spiritual stature the prophet muhammad - the founder of islam himself - by claiming the titles of 'haqiqi kaaba' and 'ghaib na malik'. this was ordained for him even before the creation of this entire universe and is mentioned in the quran by the various references to 'burhan' in the holy book.

as this is an ongoing voyage of discovery into the greatness of the syedna, we will post more such amazing and fun facts as we continue our research.

How close have ny1 known dai's before 51st,i mean personally not through literature?

[Smart]

A completely irrelevant post, possibly a red herring.

[Al Zulfiqar]

syedna's achievements contd....

36) syedna mohd burhanuddin is the first dai to supersede all previous dai's and their past practices and traditions. he has also publicly claimed so and thus has shown his superiority over all previous 51 dai's.

37) he is also the first dai to have regular medical treatments in germany, inspite of claiming to have built the best and most modern saifee hospital of india. he does this because of his love for the germans and the brainwashing programmes adopted by their past rulers like goebbels.

to be contd...

wat i was comin 2 say is ppl had probs with all previous dais.s n imams before tat n so on.and will have in future too....if u observe closely the corruption is not at highest level but the lower level.....which has to be changed with honesty in us n ppl around us.not by blamin the dai n dai before tat n so on.its just a tactic to escape ur responsibility.

['sauga dude]

.if u observe closely the corruption is not at highest level but the lower level.....

Assalam aleykum,

Even if we are to accept your reasoning that corruption is not at the highest level but at the lower levels, because of the fact that the dai is sitting back and watching all this happening, that does not make him a very good leader does it? And don't try to fool yourself and others by saying that the dai does not know what is happening at the lower levels. In this modern age, with all the travelling that he does and the communication available, do you honestly think he does not know what his extended family and amils and jamaats are doing? Does he really think all Dawoodi Bohras are super rich with thousands of dollars to offer to him as najwas with folded hands and sajdas? If the problem is at the lower level, why does the dai not stop the mumin from giving him sajda in direct contradiction to the teachings of the Quran? Why does the dai not stop the zakereens from singing madehs which call him the kaaba, the masjid-e-aazam, an angel on earth....?

What kind of leader would watch his people being humiliated at his amils and not do anything about it?

Forget the sabaqs and taweel na bayaans. Instead go and study some history on your own and come back and tell us if any of the previous imams and dais did what this dai is doing? Not many people knew the previous dais and imams personally but their history remains. This dai too will leave his history behind and it will not judge him kindly.

[SBM]

And add to it, does not the Shezadas and Syedna himself has said that he is Ghayab na Imam and the only reason you need RAZA from him because he knows what is best for his FARZANDO, Now if he has knowledge of everything how come he has no knowledge about the corruption in his own rank
REMEMBER THE FAMOUS SAYING" BUCK STOPS HERE"

[Smart]

^
The "BUCK STOPS HERE" applies only to normal human beings and they are competent enough to take the responsibilty.

However this principle does not apply to the "ghaib na malik" / "naatik quran" / "ilahul ard" (because he is superhuman).

According to the abdes he is ignorant about the acts of his subordinates, which means he is not even a normal competent leader.

Do the Syedna's claims contradict the beliefs of the ordinary abdes?

I am completely confused. What exactly gives?

[Al Zulfiqar]

the syedna's achievements contd...

38) syedna mohd burhanuddin has the unique ability to switch his miraculous powers of 'ghaib na malik' - i.e seeing the unseen - on or off, depending on the circumstances. eg. he is able to see his abde mumeneen behind thick concrete pillars or when they are in trouble seven seas away in the wtc buildings way before the plane attacks, or when they are about to be robbed or murdered in kenya, gujrat, england etc. but he can switch off this ability when he doesnt want to see his amils harassing his abdes or extorting money from them, he can overlook the bohras living in slums, he cannot see the poor widows or beggars begging outside the raudat tahera, he also cannot see how many bohras are unemployed and how many are prevented from coming to masjid/markaz. he is the only syedna after his great father to be able to have such selective powers.

perhaps this can explain the discussion above..

dai is watching and he know bout it,which he has made clear in bayaans.the steps are taken day 2 day.its just that sometimes we come to know of them sometimes we dont.
and only people who can afford give big najwas.that too without any force more wilingly.thats our mindset.i duno why all of u are taltin of foced najwas i have never even heard of anythin like tat.yea sometimes some local collections are there in name of some project or sowhich are not utilised in right manner.but then watever the manner be some1 will have objections..u can never satisfy all.
history has always judged leader with pros n cons.
but here the echo of good will over shadow the voice of fictious bad(tat u guys claim)
i have never attended any taweel sabaks or so...
and for history...will u coach me?

[guy_sam2005]

and till the question of interpreting quran ...all have different interpretions.and all clain to be right with their own examples n so on.
for us moula(tus) is the voice of quran....so whatever ur interpretion is becomes invalid.
and if u think you and ur so called scholars interpretions are absolute,,,try convincing a shia abubacker was a nice guy.or a sunni tat he was not.

[guy_sam2005]

REMEMBER THE FAMOUS SAYING" BUCK STOPS HERE"

i already said he knows..and neccessary is done as possible.its not neccessary that we should know bout it...most of the times the action taken comes to light a lil later....

moula(tus)has already acknowledged our probs...in one particular zikra bayaan moula(tus)voiced our such probs that we never in dreams thought moula(tus)would know.........there was corruption even uring the time of prophet.....was it not?

hey dude...tis is pure hatred..........
most ppl beggin outside raudat tahera are not even bohras..some are i agree...
u cant shift all the slums to nariman point in a year or so..the steps are taken.....if u know of housing loans schemes...
every ramzan crores of rupees go 2 every jamaat for upliftment....most not utilised in proper way by our so called brothers.
and believe me when i say huge amounts..if utilsed the way moula(tus)would want its juat a question of 10 years there wont be poverty.
another case is i mean some not all bt the ratio would be 30% of them dont want to change.the prob is in local management too .noone follows wat they do wit the money given...some ppl instead of utilisin for some good buy luxuries and are again in queue next yr.
and by this statement i do mean all....some are really needy but dont get due to local politics........
if u guys didnt know education loans for the needy is given round the year with very minimum formalities......mostl times not even as loan.
but ya ull find flaws here too............
