Dawoodi Bohra Forum

This is a complete baseless allegation. I live in India and pray in "Wahhabi" mosques ONLY and I found them to be very peaceful , loving and affable. They help the poor, educate people even in secular studies . eg The ahle hadith \salafi madrassa in malegoan is the only one which offers qu...

I had also heard that this raudat tahera pagan temple was built after demolishing nearby mosques? Is it allowed to do that!

thanks ozundee for showing respect, The main thread always gets disrupted into shia-wahhabi by this sufi monk , i never intend to use these labelling and i had made a post on that too. I hope people should stop accusing each other of wahhabi and unite and fight the common enemy=Bohra clergy. One sho...

The raudat tahera is dedicated to taher saifuddin and his son, millions of $$ are spent in its construction and upkeep, was it needed to create such magnificent shrines ? while many people are dying in hunger and poverty?

It is clear that our earlier Islamic scholars never mentioned anything about shrines, dargahs . Just read daimul islam, even it is against building concrete structures. They have now just become a tool to earn money as how the pandit of a temple wants donation from the temple galla same with dargahs...

in poll it was agreed that non bohras are allowed to participate. PERIOD

Anyways even you people are not bohras , bohras are only those who believe in daee. And if you say otherwise then I am also a former bohra.

they rush to protect the shrines
Yet, they ask the Shrines for help!

don't they have minds?!!

A lot of allegations have been put on ISIS by iranian media as they feel they will be their next targets , but i dont find any primary sources explaining their stance , does anyone know what is their official website , fb page etc? I found the following page which seems to be an unofficial source: h...

this guy sufi monk is a the agent of KQ trying to get sympathy for his new found master because he does not have anywhere else to go , right? chamdi gai lekin tangdi nahi gai? It is you who is looser as you want some person like the KQ to be your daee, when he himself is naked in the same pool. Dont...

bro sbm, I know about those cases and in none of them the actual daae position is challenged , why the reformists still want someone to be their daee? even when the dawedars themselves fight ? why you still have the belief in dai in your "about us" page? Be practical and work towards compl...

bro humsafar, It is really disgusting people always resort to "wahhabi" labeling . Well I used to be a bohra and I am no longer now alhamdulillah. But I see my relatives etc stuck in it. And I found that they are in not because they believe in it but because of the society. And this dai is...

If there is proper pitching , then even the govt would love to get control over the bohra properties directly or indirectly(through central board) and the govt itslef can be convinced to fight for its right to appoint members of the central board and collect its share of revenue. The supreme court v...

I asked participation in drafting the letter and just a written approval of the central board. I deliberately left most of the letter blank with outlines to be filled in by reformist. My responsibility is only to get the letter passed to the higher ups in saudi.

It is surprising that the central board has not taken the advantage of two dawedars fighting for bohra property? As per fundamental tenets of our constitution and democracy , only the central board or a board of trustee should get ownership of such properties and now this dawedar issue should be ful...

Bro SBM More then the letter the participation of people was more important in drafting the letter, Nafisaben went overboard and exaggerated a lot , but such a letter can never be successful unless a group of reputed people also support it and that was the main aim of the letter. The Letter would al...

Bro Husafar I think this shows the double standards here. There was a draft letter here which suggested some creative ideas and getting help from powerful people who are not influenced by Money which could sent hiccups throughout the bohra world was deleted from this forum by converting it into shia...

I dont think we can do anything , 75+ years of struggle has only made the bohra clergy more powerful then ever. Only an external force can bring about a change.

Why attach so much reverence to karbala dargahs? Karbala is a place where Imam Hussain a.s was martyred and is a land of bala and aafat , one should not go there at all. Moreover even the grave of Hussain a,s is not present there and no one knows with 100% surety as to where it exists.In 2004 too th...

Why are people are so obsessed with graves and dargahs ? This actually validates the rival concerns that the dargahs \saints are being worshipped instead of God.

muniraben , here it is

the saudimuftis have given fatawas to demolish the green dome(which includes both) very clearly and explicitly , I saw the thread in this forum too. search it.

Far from preserving it , if the historical site are or were a cause of Shirk and other fitna which may confuse people then it is obligatory to remove these structures as ruled in this fatwa. More over the commentary of the hadith below, makes it very clear to remove any such objects which may includ...

Nobody has the guts to do it. But it was really suprising that many dargahs were demolished in saudi arabia , yet there were no "mojizas" that prevented that from happening. Instead after the demolition oil was found which resulted in increased peace and prosperity in saudi.

can you quote Daimul Islam regarding this issue?

Nice post thanks

hussain_ksa may i know do you even have an ejamat id?
