Dawoodi Bohra Forum

Did anyone notice(if not I wouldnot be surprised)
that this year's new Wajebat form has two new entries for sucking more money. one is Salaam/Hadiyat to Mazoon Sahib and the other is
Salaam/Hadiyat to Muskasir Sahib. These entries were not there last year. To be fair, they removed from last year's forms Minnat Syedna Taher Saifuddin and Minnat Syedna Burhanuddin but everyone is encouraged to give that in an envelope
I think by next year they will have two more entreis, one for Saifyee Hospital Operating Expenses and the other for one of the Shezadah incharge of local pricienct like SHAKA PARMUKH OF SHIV SENA.

With a family full of thieves and beggars, I am surprised there are only two entries.

Would it be too much for you to list all catogary.

This is for knowledge for non Bohra like me.

Wasalaam
.

Gladly
For this year's form the category is as follows:
Zakat Ul Maal
Nazar Muqam
Khumus
Kuffarra
Minnat/Niyaaz
Najwa
Hadiyath Salaam Mazzon Sahib
Hadiyath Salaam Mukasir Sahib
Haqun Nafas
For Minnat to Syedna Tahir Saifuddin and Minnat to Syedna Burhanuddin from last year you are asked to put the money in an envelope and give it to AAMIL since they decided not to put on the form
In my opinion this is called rob from every where you can

AS & Thanks

An-Najwa
Private talk between Allah and each of his slaves on the day of Resurrection. It also means secret council or consultations. .

Is Kothar or Maula charges you for private and secrete talk or advice?

What is
Nazar Muqam?
Haqun Nafas?

Wasalaam

Sura Ya Sin (36:21)

"It-tabi'oo man la yas'alukum ajran. Wa hum muhtadoon."

Follow those who do not ask from you a reward in return. For they are the ones who are rightly guided.

Is it any wonder, the Syedna prohibits his followers from understanding the quran!!

Dear Omabharti,
thanks for listing all the categories. I have never seen these forms but now that u have listed them it re-assures me and I'm sure others like us that this is total BS.

However, l do have a question for you or anyone else - I have given large sums of money to earthquake, hurricane and tsunami charities. Does that count towards one's Zakaat dues? do the amilsaab normally cut you a break?

@cplinhouston: Interesting - I asked a similar question at my meeting. Similar only in that I have always given monetary support to certain India based bohra families in need - and have considered that part of my Zakaat. But I was told that however noble that act was/is - it is to be considered a private act and thus not part of what my dues were this year. Wajebaat after all as I was explained is to be given directly to Aqa Moula Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin Saheb or to someone he delegates the authority to.

While the answer was not surprising, and there was much backroom wheeling and dealing on the numbers - I am still left at cross-roads as to what I need to do ...

What exactly is Vajebaat? Is it a separate category or are all these 8 or 9 different forms of payments considered Vajebaat collectively?

Also could anyone provide such info as to what amounts if any are fixed and what are negotiable? The Quran states clearly 2.5% of a persons savings (that he has accumulated for an entire year from ramadan to ramadan) is due as Zakat. However, that is savings not EARNINGS, i.e. Quran states after a person is able to meet his and his families necesssities of life - living, food, clothing, education for children etc etc. and then the money that is left above and beyond for one whole year is charitable at 2.5% Further the quran even states that if you pay off someone's debt (a needy or poor person's debt) and not charge him or atleast not charge him interest even that is considered Zakaat.

With such simple and clear explanation - the Quran take out any need for negotiation. So is the Zakat negotiable or other amounts too. If someone could share their personal experience that would be much appreciated.

bohracplinhouston@yahoo.com

2:43 And establish the Divine System, and up a Just Economic Order in society. And bow with others who bow to these Commands.

[9:119, 89:27-30 'Salat' = To follow closely, like a runners-up (Musalli) follows the winning horse (Saabiq). 'Aqimussallat' = Establish the System that facilitates the following of Divine Commands. 'Zakat' = The Cooperative Economic System where everyone works according to his capacity and is compensated according to his needs. In the interim, people spend on others whatever is more than their needs 2:219. The System of Zakat is managed by a Central Authority that ensures the development of the individuals and the society.

The 2.5 percent annual mandatory charity is a non-Qur'anic concept that trivializes the comprehensive Qur'anic System of Zakat.

Charity or 'Sadaqat' are meant only for the interim period whenever and wherever the Divinely Prescribed System of life is not yet in place.

For Central Authority, the Qur'an uses the terms 'Allah and Rasul'. After the exalted Rasul (Messenger), it is obligatory upon the believers to elect their leadership through a consultative process in a manner suitable for the times (42:38). The basic difference between the Western democracy and the Islamic government is that whereas no legislation can pass contrary to the man-made constitution in the former, no legislation can pass contrary to the Qur'an in the latter]

http://www.galaxydastak.com/cgi-bin/for ... read=25965

ZAKAT indicates personal growth (TAZKIYAH) by giving to fellow human beings. In broader terms WA AATUZ ZAKATA means establishing the Equitable Economic Order.

Giving (helping others with wealth and person) is for all humanity. It is not restricted to reaching out to Muslims alone. It is for all residents of the Islamic state. (Verses too many to enumerate).

Just as an example look at charitable deeds. The SADAQAT go to the following people:

9:60 Remember that the funds that the Central Authority receives as Alms and Charity belong to the following categories:

- The poor - Those who are not able to earn enough living to meet their basic needs, for any reason.

- Those whose running businesses have stalled or the ones who have lost their jobs, who have become needy with their active lives coming to a standstill.

- Officers who have been appointed by the government to collect alms and charity.

- Those who are hindered from joining the Divine System for financial reasons.

- To free men and women from bondage of any kind: physical slavery, unjust captivity, and oppression from any quarters.

- Those pressed under the load of ransom or heavy debt from an enemy.

- Defense of the Ideological State, in the Cause of Allah.

- The wayfarer who becomes needy, or travels to the believers in destitute condition, and the homeless son of the street.
This is a Duty from Allah. He is the Knower, the Wise and His Commands are based on Knowledge and Wisdom.

[It is important to bear in mind an almost universal misconception among Muslim scholars and the masses about the above mentioned eight categories. They understand them as pertaining to Zakat. But Zakat indicates a Just Economic Order where everyone in the society flourishes. The cornerstone of Zakat is spending whatever is more than we need, in the Cause of Allah (2:219). In more concrete terms that means turning our extra income voluntarily to the Central Authority who, in turn, will transform the State where everyone works according to his capacity and is paid according to his needs.

The Central Authority can set up a mandatory percentage of income as taxes on its citizens which would vary according to the needs of the time, be it 2.5%, 5% or more or less.

The above verse is talking about SADAQAT (alms and charity) and not ZAKAT. Sadaqat are meant to be an interim arrangement applicable any time, until the Divine System is established and the Just Economic Order is set up in the society].

Whatever you are required to pay in accordance with the form issued by your Jamaat is Waajebaat. The word simply means "Dues".

The Quran states clearly 2.5% of a persons savingsbohracplinhouston@yahoo.com[/QUOTE]

Quran mentions no such figure. Please make it a habit of quoting Sura:Ayat whenever you quote from Quran. Thank you.

Zakaat is to be paid to the Dai through his representative. It is supposed to "purify" your wealth. It is subject to negotiation. Most will try to get away by paying a minimum and Amil will try to get the maximum. To get away from negotiation, the Dai should stipulate an easily calculated sum, say x% of your gross annual income and/or y% of your total assets. Zakat is mandatory. Sadaqat, what you donate personally to good causes, whether to relatives or strangers, is voluntary and is pleasing to God.

So, consider Zakat a tax and Sadaqat a charity. Islamic government may not allow you to write off Zakat against taxes but may allow deduction for Sadaqat.

To clarify.

Zakat is mandatory in the same way that namaaz, roza, haj, jihad, tahaarat, and walaayat are for Bohras. You are free, of course, not to abide by these if you so wish. You have free will.

However, bear in mind there may be unpleasant consequences in the herenow and hereafter for not abiding. Or there may perfectly pleasant consequences. God knows.

Actually "God knows" implies that no one else knows but God, which is not true, since God has described in extreme detail what he is going to do to those who disobey his commandments, zakaat being amongst the top 5!!

to all those fools on boards(the so called reformist),

well the most surprizing thing is that u dickheads get time to discuss about what is vajebat and zakat etc.u fools these are not meant for ull to pay (as if ull have the gigar to pay).
why discuss and gather knowledge about something which is not concerned with ull.today what we earn is what because of karam and dua of aqa maula (t.u.s).u fools bother about urself (and speacially to that asshole sitting in housten "stop blabering about the so called donation done for the earthquake victims, stop making a news out of it.).u fools the very fact is that ull have been kicked on ur asses out of the community."na ithar ke na uther ke" ,so obviosly have no other work than coming and sitting on the board opening ur gutter and litting around.rather do some work for ur so called reformist(beggars desperatly needing funds to fight cases Ha Ha).or should we send ull down some .we have more than u can imagine. fools ull dont have anyone to guide ull .dickheads dive in the nearest gutter and take your whole community of udaipur along with ull.ur existance is of no use on earth ull will diminish like does parsis one day.wait and watch on quamat .

long live aqa maula(t.u.s)

WETHEGREAT,

The Aqa Maula has just taken a bath and is ready for you to do his assambosi. Go on, do what you do best, kiss his ass!!

Top of page Important notices

they raised more than 1.5 million and spent 165000 dollars on office supplies, 111000 on salaries 323000 either donated or spent on unspecified acts of charities. well you guys and all of us who contribute should be asking some hard questions, tha in one year how can they spend 165000 dollars on just stationery and office supplies, total expenditure was 876000 dollars. IMAGINE

Dear Accountability,

Important though your contribution is may we pls request you not to post lengthy messages here. It would be better if you could provide a link to the material.

thank you for your cooperation.

Hi folks just to let you all know I am back after a very long break so watch out Muslim First, Anajmi and Porous - battles begin again!

Did you figure out how the Imam has interpreted the quran according to the modern times? All I wanted was one ayah!!

If not then better take another long break!!

When I said let battles resume I meant a healthy exchange of fresh views rather than re-enactments of old ones – we leave that to quaint and queer old folks here! Has not Islam been through enough in the last couple of years without us quarrelling over whose interpretation is correct? I was hoping we could keep the exchanges at a cerebral level but seeing your posts in the other threads perhaps it is a forlorn hope.

I have moved on in life and have no intention of staying firmly stuck in the 7th Century!

Hey guys,
the discussion has totally disgressed (although nothing wrong with that) from Omabharti's original point that 2 new entries were added this year. Has anyone else had crazy things / experiences with their local Amilsaab / jamaat this year?

For instance the New Jersey Jamaat is requiring (not encouraging but requiring) everyone to purchase units in mutliples of $5200.00 for Iqraam Fund.
The notice on their website http://www.anjuman-e-burhani.org/finance.htm reads "Mumineen of Anjuman-e-Burhani, New Jersey Jamaat are required to pay units in multiple of $5,200 towards Iqraam fund. this is the first and foremost khidmat that is required of all mumineen."
Could someone explain what that is?

baburao,

I was hoping you would've moved on and stopped wasting our time!!

New Jersey's Kothari commisar is:

Janaab Quresh Bhaisaheb Shehabuddin Saheb (also fondly known as Suresh, Shah of Burhani Shehab)
who left Toronto, Canada - where he was in charge of Canada Jamaats, in a hurry when the Senate Bill S.13 miserably failed a few years ago and the government started investigating him and his cohorts.

They still remember his oppression and extortion in Canada. Small surprise that it is still being carried on in New Jersey, USA. Does anybody know whether he is still wanted and at large in Canada?

We understand from our relatives in Ottawa, Canada that there is a similar problem brewing in that city as well. Sorry, it is heresay but we trust our jamati relatives. May be some one else can confirm this.

There are about 30 Bohri families in the city, about 15-20 mainstreams( about 8 or so are from one extended family). Most of them work for the government and some for high tech/com industries. Up to now they had volunteer sheikh and two Mullas –all of them non-Jaamiya educated – they had just paid for their status . A few years ago they unilaterally (without the members' consent)purchased a marqaz (a bank branch!) and there is still $40,000 owing on it. The sabil was fixed at $552 plus the other wajebats.

This month they have got a full-time Jamiya educated Sheikh who has supposedly been appointed by Kothar. To maintain him, they intend to pay him $30,000 p.a. But as the jamat has no money, they doubled the sabil to $1052 from this year, much to the chagrin and silent revolt of the members. The new sheikh who has been sent from Boston US, is here to build the mosque as well. So there are more surprises (units purchases) coming for the members. This month to humiliate and embarrass some of the members, they publicized the names of the members who still owe their share of the marqaz purchase.

Keep on hoping! After all wishful thinking is all you are good at - as for wasting time let others be the judge - your interjections in every thread sadly remain at the same immature level as ever. Or are you simply born to be bloody-minded?
