Dawoodi Bohra Forum

The photo of men bowing with closed hands to a Man which would resemble another person worshipping an idol (be it a statue or a human) makes me very uneasy. Surely - surely, this is wrong. I would challenge a person to find me a single authenticated piece of evidence to suggest that Our Messenger ...

I think I will need to agree to disagree when it comes to your argument. The reform movement is certainly NOT about whether I believe in the validity of the 46th Dai forth. I'll openly say to you that I have very little knowledge about the issues pertaining to this but can only base my own arguments ...

Thank you for stating the obvious. Our identity is as dynamic as the Kothar's novel methods to manipulate the masses. If I'm walking across a road and then realise that a car is fast approaching and will run me over, I won't continue at walking speed - I'll run to get out the way.

I can't even believe that there are people on this forum suggesting that an individual person should not read and understand the Holy Qu'ran.

Your great religion of Islam should not be reduced to miracles, magic and wizzzard-ry and your faith should certainly not be based upon it. You can attribute such miracles to the hand of the D'ai - but it is ultimately your Lord who is the master of your destiny. You proclaim the ...

Dear Brothers,

You do yourselves injustice by abusing each other in this forum - it is hypocritical for you to do so and goes against every aspect of Islamic teaching. Be not ready to judge others - if you are not merciful towards others' actions then you cannot expect to receive mercy from the ...

Dear Progticide,

You have done yourself no justice by posting the results of a scientific experiment which you claim to mimic the actions of the progressive Dawoodi Bohras of today. In fact, I thought I was reading a pro-progressive post! If you want to present findings and dispute them on an ...
