Dawoodi Bohra Forum

If you believe in just one religion, then you should believe in all religions. On the other hand if you reject all religions as false except the one you follow; then why not reject that religion too, because the majority of the world population has rejected it. what do you think? Is it justified that a miniscule number of bohris are making the kothar and clergy rich beyond means on a simple belief that the dai is going to come in your grave, hold you by the hand and lead you into jannat.
When the actual facts are that when a child is being born and it fills its lungs with the first breath of air it is none other than a little part of the creator that the child has borrowed. After a small lapse in this world this same child is called back and at the time of death this borrowed ruh or soul of the creator is taken away.
All deeds done during this short time on earth will either lead him to hell or heaven.
where in this life and death equation is the role of the dai, who is hell bent in grabbing the worlds money and luxuries. If there was any sincerity in him of the afterlife , do you think he would be chasing ziafats and money hop skipping all over the world. It is pure coincidence that the child is born to parents in their belief system and simply follows it. when he does grow up and hopefully thinks for himself that he comes to the realization of how fimfare this bohri religion is.

If you do good you will receive good, if you do bad you will receive bad, this is universal law, and all religions are based on this truth.
as far as you believe in ONE GOD and his prophet Muhammad(s), you will remain muslim, rest is up to you to believe or reject.

.......... if you reject all religions as false except the one you follow; then why not reject that religion too, because the majority of the world population has rejected it.

There is such depth in this statement ; IF ONLY people would reflect on this logic and begin their search for the truth from here.

I feel that the question "are 6 billion wrong?" needs to be looked at from another POV too. Yes, 6bill are wrong. Wrong because they blindly follow whatever institutional religion their parents/homes follow. Muslims are not going to heaven only because they were conceived in a Muslim household, and like a parrot repeated whatever they were trained to repeat. Same for other religions. Just imagine, if you were born just 100 meters away from your house you would have a completely different religion/lifestyle. So what makes "your" religion right, other than you being a follower?

Unless you have consciously chosen your religion/path after contemplation and soul searching, you are wrong. Therefore I have much respect for Muslims who convert to Christianity or Hinduism, or Hindus who have converted to Islam because they haven't sucked up whatever was fed to them by their society. Similarly, if you are a Bohri by Conscious CHOICE, kudos. Otherwise you are the same as billions of other fools on this planet. Your suffering will not end by kissing anyone's hand or going on ziyarat "tours".

Judgement by ALLAH will be purely done on the basis of our OWN DEEDS and not by to whom we follow. If our deeds are good Heaven is for us.

Just like ALLAH/GOD/BHAGWAN is one, in the same way Heaven and Hell will be also one respectively which will cater all Human Being .

Thank you all for your responses.
Just for the young ones that are dragged into doing what their hearts are against. Know this that the dai was nowhere to be seen or heard when you were born, but he claims he would come when you die and take you to heaven. how could anyone no matter how illiterate believe in such rubbish.
I have seen dictaor amils refuse to do the new misaak ceremony if you do not wear a saya. These little things in life make them happy and make you forget the big picture. Take heed. Misaak or no misaak is not and never was the criteria to put one in hell or heaven.
