The question is simple: "21 imam has appointed other imam? confused". The answer is also simple: "Yes". Thats all. To elaborate. Unlike the ithna-ashari beliefs, the Imam is in seclusion (not "hiding") and lives a normal life span, appointing his successor before passi...

For argument's sake; history tells us that nabi Dawood and Nabi Suleman were very rich., so to state that if one is rich he cannot be a dai or a religious person does not hold true because Soloman and Dawood nabi were both very rich nabi's. so a rich dai could very well be a genuine representative ...

We named our child Ibrahim..

I have a very old book, a majlis compilation inherited from my great grandfather, in that book many events of Karbala is narrated. In the recent past I didn't hear many of the events in the book in our majalis and thought that these might not be true but for the last ten years I am observing that e...

The ONLY fact in karbala event is our IMAMS and their true followers HAD laid their life for humanity. Now its does not matter 1. how they were killed? 2. what was the position of the people who were killed in the battlefield? 3. what was the time when they were killed? 4. what was the relation of ...

About banu a.s who is ummul aimmat after sometime in Medina she asked imam ali zainul abideen to accompany her to Iran where she wanted to go and meet her ma sahiba and brother who had accepted Islam much earlier. Maulatena banu was deeply grieved and weak, they had earlier plan to go to Iran that ...

You cannot convince people who are bound to do argument for the sake of argument. As for the name of the father of the 4 year old boy his name is never mentioned, imam Hasan had an extended family and many sons whose generations upheld the name of Imam Hasan but imam at was only in the family of Im...

Banu a.s. was a princess, a daughter of some King of a neighboring country... her father arranged for here escape from Karbala on night or 2 before ashura. Don't know how much this is authenticated. Ali (AS) killed Banu's (AS) father, Yazdegerd so I do not think that is true. Many sources say that ...

"Smb ra always narrated this bayaan and ali qadar mola tus said the same... yes imam hasans grandson is like (grandson is like your own son)and every duwaat has termed this as Hasan na farzand!" So now there are two people who claim SMB said this as well... which means he was lying as well...

Don't promote unnecessary doubts if you are so smart to understand that it is impossible then do you think waizeen are such fools to arouse the controversy. In the waiz it is alwaysa said Imam Hasan name aik 4 waras na Farzand hata., as I earlier said this farzand(son) was the son of imam hasans so...

The incident related to the 4 year old grandson of imam Hasan is not new it has been quoted a number of times even during the waiz of syedna Mohammad burhanuddin I am a witness to it, about mukhtar coming after 3 days, who quotes all these baseless stories it was never said in any waiz haven't you ...

Here is another twist in the ashura event which begs an explanation. It is said and is true that 3 days after Imam Hussain was martered, the army of Mukhtar reached kufa. The perimeter of kufa was surrounded and all of yezid"s army were tortured and killed by mukhtars army. My question is ; di...

However critical I am of the dai-ship from the 51st chairperson. I have always admired the fact that TS and SMB did not alter the events of Karbala .. Shia's add a lot of spice to their Bayaans to make people cry however we refrained from it and stuck to the facts ( or atleast what our books have ta...

Nope.. cause the impact of Mohammed is stronger on the good side than the bad one....

I have never implied, neither has dawoodi bohra or ismaili theology ever implied that it is haram to use those names...

And yet He did not prevent ibn Muljim from assassinating a person who was dedicated to Him unlike any other? That is not how the world works.... I said "maybe". Sometimes, people are destined to go astray. ibn Muljim went astray by killing Ali and the bohras went astray by worshipping the...

I have asked a revered scholar about the reason for this. He has mentioned that in this Daur e Fatarat, it is very easy to go astray.. especially with no one to guide us.. Imaam being in parda and Dai-ship in crisis for a couple hundred years... One method we use to 'stay on the path' is to associa...

Those names were stopped being used for many hundreds of years... bohras have become abde syedna since the 51st dai... Well, it is a pity. If they hadn't stopped calling themselves slaves of Allah, maybe HE would've prevented them from becoming the slaves of a human!! And yet He did not prevent ibn...

it is one of the main reason why we don't keep names such as Abdul Rehman Allah's hikma is unique. As soon as the bohras stopped using the beautiful names of Allah, he made them abde syedna instead of Abdur Rahman. Those names were stopped being used for many hundreds of years... bohras have become...
