If I was the progressive leader I would say the current dai position is not legitimate because they don't follow the norms of Fatemi dawat. We want to abolish current family status as DAI we want penal of neutral scholars who should elect a new DAI who will be DAI nijaam until the Imam returns. he ...

That’s the funniest answer I have heard….. you are not against the “dai”- the one who runs a blatant con, does no real good, cozies up to the Muslim killer, who cuts up little girls, goes around encouraging wailing lessons for little kids, encourages women to limit themselves to the study of home s...

We are not separated from the Dai. Nor are we against him as an institution. We are against the regime, the administration, the system which he and his family have created to trap and exploit Bohras. Please read the articles again, and don't expect anyone to spoonfeed you. Also, we are not here clar...

In short progressive doesn't know what they want You don't have to be snarky. We wanted Ilam to find out for himself, to read and to understand. Reformists' fight was never about the Dai. We never tire of underlining that we accept the institution of the Dai. In the current scenario with the disput...

It doesn't look like you read any of the articles we suggested. If you had, it would be clear to you that progressive Bohras are for the most part demanding "social and administrative" reforms -- which means accountability of funds collected from people, jamat-level democracy (the right to...

Could you please explain to me why was my post deleted?

Not sure which post you are referring to. Don't think we've deleted any of your posts.

So Admin hope you have started the process of taking everythng down that's not in your authority to post here or lettinganyonedoso asin case of AY or is it that just Oxford is giving you sleepless nights so had to take just 1 off case Please understand, the Admin did not post the material you're so...

Thank you Kseeker and Biradar for underlining the importance of intellectual property rights and, more specifically, putting this site and forum at risk when pirated material is posted here.

These books are published by Oxford University press, and certainly posting PDFs here is a serious violation of copyright. It can impact the whole site if they choose to take action. Good you removed them. The da'im al-Islam is also translated into Hindi and that has no such copyright issue. I sugg...

AbdeYamani,

Do you have permission to distribute these volumes? Providing scanned copies for downloads amounts to copyright violations and is also ethically wrong. We understand your good intention but we believe it is not the right thing to do. We will remove the attachments. Thank you.

Does anyone know when will this book be released in India? it is available on Amazon India but would need to be imported, which makes it super expensive and unpredictable in terms of ETD too The author is looking for a literary agent/publisher in India. If anyone knows anyone in this field who migh...

Reviewer: Zarina Patel This is one of those novels which you start reading and cannot put down. It has a story line and a plot, it has love and passion, it has scenic descriptions of actual geographic areas and the splendours of Mother Nature, it has suspense. It is a chronicle of our times; the cha...

Thank you for your interest in the Matrimonial page. We discontinued it because we could not support it with our limited time and resources. It was offered as a free service and after a while it became quite tedious to maintain because of spamming and trolling. We had not put in place a way to authe...

The dumb Admin deleted my anti modi comments because he/she was afraid of hindu lobby, and some idiot suggested the honored post of PM .But bad mouthing Imam is okay because there is no pro imam lobby admin needs to be afraid of. plain stupid i would say. If you are running a forum has some guts to...

The book is not published in India yet that is why the paperback is not available. Inshallah it will be available in a few months.

We have removed the matrimonial page, and also the form submission page. Thank you.

Eid Mubarak to all of you. We thank each and everyone for being part of this online family. Peace and blessings.

Friends, I have a suggestion. Sadly, the moderator/admin has decided that having a person like "momeenbhai" is a good thing for this forum. Apparently, making numerous IDs, arguing with himself using his other IDs, derailing threads, making nasty gutter-like attacks on people, is perfectl...
