Brother Anajmi,

As Salaam u Aleikum Wr Wb,

I disagreed with ...

As Salaam U Aleikum Wr Wb,

Thank you brother Tahir for pointing those threads out. However, i have a bit of a problem, and Insha Allah you will be able to help me with that.

what is referred to as 'Kadam Bosi'...

As Salaam U Aleikum Wr Wb,

I have read this site a few times before and it has been very informative.

Just wanted to give a brief introduction about myself. I hail from a Bohra family, most of us became sunni, and about three years ago, al hamdo lilah i became a shia itna Ashari.
