WHY WE NEED CORRUPT DAI AND DAWAT?
Posted: Sat Jul 02, 2011 3:19 am
If one looks at the current mission of Mulla Burhanuddin and his mafia family, it’s plain to see that it’s all about robbing the community. Robbing not just our money, but our brains, determination, and something we will never get back – THE TIME.
The present scenario of our community evolves with un-Islamic rituals and dogma. The current dai and his zadas duties are as follows:
Lavish Ziyafat, bethak and salam, bow down and feet kissing,nikah ceremony for rich people, frequent trip to raudat tahera temple, business expo,inauguration of markaz,masjid or madrasa with pet name either burhania or saifia, numerous other money making schemes and list goes on.
I think most would agree that a true dai’s duties are the following – living a life of moderation -not eating out of a golden plate or requiring to live every moment of life in lavishness, helping the less fortunate members of our community -When has Burhanuddin ever thought of contributing to needy Bohras or any needy people in general?, serving as a role model to the community , knowledgeable in our Islamic beliefs and values - When will Burhanuddin ever give a speech without reading line by line from books written in 30 point font?, does not use position to abuse people , approachable in the sense that anyone can approach the dai without having to kiss a body part, pay salaam, or walk up with expensive gifts , and most importantly not a acting like a Yazid . Remember folks, Imam Hussein died to stop people like Yazid from “polluting” Islam. Unfortunately, the present dai has no regard for this principle. Do you think Burhanuddin is going to change for the better? For over 100 years the same trends have continued and I certainly don’t see them “reforming” themselves anytime soon. I suggest and feel that we should get rid of present dai and dawat. If we can have a dai that embodies and carries out the respective duties listed above, then I support having a dai with dawat.
For the past ten years or so Burhanuddin has invented matam to be carried out on every day and on every occasion. Before, matam was done only during the month of Muharram. My point is that these ............ woke up one day and decided to implement matam as a centerpoint of our ideology. Why? Obviously, the dai does it for personal gain and amassment of great fortunes. To top it off, Imam Hussain’s bayan occurs everyday to ensure we beat our chests. As I’ve said before, the Kothar uses same stereo type lectures to attack our emotions putting us in our most vulnerable state and allowing them to control us in ways we never thought possible. As a result of their forced control, families have split, best friends turning into enemies, and more hatred as filled our hearts and minds — All because one does not give full allegiance to the dai. And what’s worse, the kothar continuously preaches about alienating and cutting off all ties with anyone who questions the actions of the dai or kothar. How can we be happy with this type of dai?
The function of Burhanuddin and his mafia zadaas and their administration should be as simple and pious dai and not dictators. I don’t think the dai’s current role as dictator will progress anytime soon to a symbolic and spiritual “dai-like” figure. This is because the present regime and his family are infatuated with their thirst for more money and engage in corrupt practices along the way. This empire’s future successor was illegally selected using the same father-to-son transfer of power system we’ve seen take place for more than 100 years.
I think the way the situation is going; there is no need for a dai or dawat. As you can see very clearly for the past 100 years, Taher Saifuddin and Burhanuddin have converted our Islamic beliefs into a cult-like organization demanding full allegiance and isolation from non-Bohri believers. In addition, they impose unnecessary and heavy taxes to members of the community and continually innovate schemes to expand their coffers even more. Innovations such as worshipping, kissing, wadhawani rasam, raza, and pampering obviously displays the level the dai has made us all succumb to. Look at pictures on various kothar websites and one can plainly see what I am talking about. All these rituals benefits kothar and it has made their empire into a multi-billion dollar business.
The irony is that you don’t learn anything Islamic in kothar’s lackluster lectures. Every waaz or sabak is the same bullshit our ears have grown accustomed to. To sum it up, it’s all about praising Burhanuddin and chanting every five minutes, altogether, “ta qayamat tak jivo”, which is an impossible and brainless prayer. As many of you may agree in your hearts, but feel afraid to speak up due to potential repercussions, it’s time for Burhanuddin and his bandwagon to set sail.
The kothar’s use of “gripping our emotions” is a clever strategy employed to keep membership levels from declining. They sell Imam Hussein and Ahlul-Bait and made it a huge business by using Imam Hussein’s character and imposing poorjosh matam as a way to access our emotions. This scheme is their most successful one and has allowed them to make a lot of money. Imam Hussein and His Ahlul-Bait scarified themselves for saving Islam, but these idiots are making fortunes and manipulating our minds in the name of Imam Hussein.
The present old man still hasn’t retired even at his death bed. Instead, he wanders all over the world doing the same things as mentioned before. The last birthday – bash of Burhanuddin was a prime example of waste of millions of dollars, time and energy for months with lots of pomps and fanfare which was absolutely unnecessary. This act of worship and bowing down has certainly polluted our religion. Now is the time to abolish all of this nonsense and do something about it rather than act like a herd of sheep. Speak up and protest against them! Enough is enough. How long will we allow Burhanuddin to strip us of our rights and passion for a community that is based upon “original” Islamic principles, and not a reinvention of Islam like the kothar is engaging in?
Insha’Allah, I strongly believe a brighter future will lay ahead of us without a dai or dawat.
