Diversion diversion, you guys can't stay on the "right track"
Worship in Islam is defined by three parameters:1. Do you consider Mola Ameer-al-Mumineen Ali (A) is the only and the sole successor of Prophet Mohammed (S)?
Yes
2. Fatimi Dawat believes that Hazrat Umar murdered Molatina Fatima (A) - do you and Reform Movement too believe in the same?
Historical evidence suggests that he may have unintentionally been responsible for her death.
3. Fatimi Dawat considers that Hazrat Abu Bakr, Hz. Umar and Hz. Usman plotted in Sakifa to usurp the right of Mola Ali (A) - do you also believe same?
Historical evidence suggests that Abu Bakr and Umar, but not Uthman, wanted to keep Ali from inheriting Prophet's leadership for political reasons. Historical analog is that senate conspirators who murdered Julius Caeser wanted to keep leadership away from Mark Antony for fear of a creeping monarchy in Rome, which was established as a Republic
4. Fatimi Dawat believes that those three poisoned Nabi Mohammed (S) - do you also believe the same?
No. This is a calumny.
5. Fatimi Dawat do "Barat" with Hz. Abubakr, Umar and Usman - do you do the same?
None were mushriks. How do you apply Sura 9 to them?
6. Fatimi Dawat consider Hazrata Aaisah as enemy as she came on Camel to fight with Mola Ali (A) in the war of Jamal as Fatimi Dawat does "Barat" with all the enemies so do you do "Barat" with Aaisha?
No. In accordance with Sura 9, she can be forgiven because she repented.
7. Fatimi Dawat send "Laanat" on Maviya, the murder of Imam Hasan (A) - do you/Reform Movement send "Laanat" on Maviya?
Muawiya deserves laanat. However, it is unbecoming for a religion to make a ritual out of it. The first person to make a ritual out of sending laanat was Muawiya who commanded ritual laanat for Ali. Why do Bohras follow Muawiya?
8. Fatimi Dawat send "Laanat" on Maloon Mukhtaar Saqafi - do Reform Movement also does same?
I thought he was the one who avenged Imam Husain's murder. ??
9. Fatimi Dawat consider Imam Tayyeb (A) as the true Imam and send "Lanat" on his enemies (Isnashari Imams after Hazrat Moosa Kazim) - do you and the Reform Movement do the same?
Imam Tayyib was designated as Imam by Imam Aamir, hence he is 'true' Imam for Bohras. Whether he left any heir is questionable. For laanats, would you accept it if Ithnaasharis send laants to your Imams? Finally, there is no Quranic injunction to send laanats on your enemies.
1. Allah created mankind and jinn only to worship him (Quran states that)
2. Allah commands mankind to worship no one but Him, and Him alone.
3. Worship as a ritual has been taught to Muslims by Rasulullah. Its features are qiyam, ruku and sujood. In Qadi Noman's Daaimut Taawil in part 5 of Majlis 4, Imam Jafar al-Sadiq describes taawil behind these acts. He never mentions that they should form a feature of any ritual other than salaat facing the Kaaba. Kissing the Quran, graves, photos are acts not sanctioned by the Quran. They are superstitions and should be avoided.
