I have heard from some friends living in Sharjah that the new aamil there is a money hungry person speaking only about collecting money for 'masjid fund' and boring people with stories from his days in kuwait and insulting the 4 jamea ustads I would expect that in a country like Dubai, the governmen...

thank you very much for such a useful post.. we need more of this rather than rants about the two liars claiming dai-ship...

I was always under the impression that the Qaim is the most exalted imam...this is the first time i have read that the Hujjaj is the exalted one....kindly post more of these...

There are many reasons why Bohras have to bow down to the kothar... ie: marriage hall for children's marriage... using the comforts of faiz during ziyaarat ... but most importantly, allowing the dead to be burried in our graveyard. The last is the most important because we are very peculiar about it...

Is it true that YN is responsible for the 4 teachers being removed from their posts in Surat Jamea?

*sigh*
With vaseela of panjatan, May Allah help us through this difficult time.

LOL...
the image does not portray an accurate picture, bro.
This image is of well built men jumping off a bridge... you should chose one of men with big beards and even bigger bellies!

Another serious crisis that threatened the Dawudi community occurred in 1256 H./1840 C.E. when the 46th da’i Sayyidna Muhammad Badruddin died without nominating his successor. The four prominent masha’ikh (scholars) of the time led by Abd-e Ali Imaduddin kept the information from the community (for...

Once I saw a guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Muslim or a non-Muslim?" He said, "A Muslim." I said, "Me...

I would like to request any bohra literature available in English... especially books like Daaim ul Islam and Taweel ud Daim written by Syedna Qazi Nouman (AS)....also books explaining Ismaili theology in english would be great

Can you please share a link here with the english translation of the book once it is completed....

In a Sunni mosque, the imam is paid a certain fee for his services to his fellow believers...I accept... now how many Sunni Imams do you see roaming the world in private jets and rolls royce?.... The 'ruling family' are leading their luxurious life our of money we pay as Zakaat which is now known as...

Lamiya, First, just because you decided that Dawoodi Bohra Islam is the true Islam based upon your own research, doesn't mean it is. For all you know, you jumped out of the fire right into the frying pan!! Second, a more appropriate example for the lifestyle of the current Dai is not Nabi Sulaiman,...

To add my 2 cents.... There is nothing wrong about being rich... it is all about how the riches are used/abused... ie :israaf... Prophet Mohammed was NOT poor... He was from Banu Hashim and they were VERY rich and powerful... The only reason why none of the qureysh could touch him was because of Abu...

Who told holy quran is written by Moula Ali? moula ali did write a copy of quran but today we uses Abu Bakr's complied quran not moula ali one. It got lost. @seriousnessisamess hatsoff dude. Really making a statement The Quran was not written by Abu Bakr.... The Quran was compiled by Uthman. Ali (A...

Long gone are the days the community listens to the leader,its time the leader listens to those who have been listening all before. This is not democracy , Ammar. We need a Da'i .. A Da'i does not need us..... I personally believe neither of the two claiming to be the real Da'i are even worth being...

Nothing much happening in Pakistan or Srilanka even though people are chatting a lot about this privately.
From what I am hearing, no chance of anything ever happening in UAE (Dubai and Sharjah). The minute even a small quarrel breaks out, the authorities over here will shut down the bohra mosque....

Taher Saifuddin all of sudden came to picture after the death of 50th Dai Syedna Abdullah Badruddin who died within one and half year after the death of his son and mansoos Tayyab bhai sahib ( he was poisoned) the festive note is that poison and ruling family has very close relations since beginnin...

I just noticed fatemidawat is now translated in arabic, but I request from this platorm to translate it in gujarati/Hindi to make an appeal to larger crowd. Please make it as soon as possible. Interesting. Seems like he is trying to pull in the Yemeni crowd..... May Allah help us in these troubled ...

This post is a direct reply to the original post. 1. Hasan (AS) gave his oath to Muwaiyah for the same reason Hazrat Ali (AS) gave his oath to Abu Bakar, Omer and Uthman...to avoid civil wars and to avoid Islam from being perished. He didnot want the Propehts hard work to go down the drain.... 2. Hu...

Ummayah challenged the right to be leader. They agreed on a challenge of some sort. who ever would win...
