A reply ro Aziz Qutbuddin's Article in the Hindustan Times Newspaper
The Hindustan Times Indian newspaper posted an article on the 29th of January 2015. This article was most probably published on the request (and possibly with the funding) of the Qutbi Bohras and Aziz Qutbuddin.
The information posted in the article has factual errors, spelling mistakes and is a reflection of extremely poor journalism. It's downright embarrassing to say the least.
Here are a few excerpts from the article in red.:
“We have enough evidence to support our claims. For the last 50 years my father was the mazoon (deputy) of the community."
The Qutbi Bohras haven't been able to provide even a shred of evidence about this alleged nass. What is the "enough evidence" they claim? How come no one has heard anything?
The former Syedna has announced him as his successor since his first misaaq (oath of allegiance) but the former Syedna’s son is claiming he has been selected as the next Syedna,” said Aziz Qutbuddin, son of Syedna Khuzaima Qutubuddin.
At the first misaaq, Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA appointed him in the rutba of the Mazoon. Nothing more was said. It is evident from this video that the Qutbi Bohras are lying.
Secondly The Qutbi's have repeatedly said that Khuzaima Qutbuddin confirms that this alleged nass was done in private. Yet, Aziz chooses to incorrectly say "Syedna has announced him as his successor". According to The Oxford Dictionary, the word "announce" means: Make a formal public statement about a fact, occurrence, or intention.
The Qutbi Bohras have repeatedly claimed it was a private nass, not a public one. The first Misaaq recording clearly confirms no alleged "announcement" or nass ever took place.
The 34-year-old Aziz is in the city to convey message and prayer supporting his father’s claim among the 12,000-odd Dawoodi Bhora community people in the city.
Out of the 12,000 mumineen residing in Kolkata, only a tiny handful of Qutbi Bohras or Progressive Munafiqeen would have met him. The numbers provided in this article are misleading.
The former Syedna — Syedna Taher Saifuddin — died of cardiac arrest at Saifee Mahal, his residence at Malabar Hill, on January 17 2014.
Incorrect: It was Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA who passed away in January. Since this article was posted on behalf of Aziz Qutbuddin, the least he could do was be factually correct.
Soon after his death disputes started over who was the next Sydena.
There was no dispute whatsoever. Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA had already appointed Syedna Mufaddal TUS as his successor, and the affairs of the community were carried out under his leadership during the following 3 years. Khuzaima Qutbuddin had also publicly and privately accepted this succession.
Following the demise of Syedna RA, there was no dispute. The issue of succession was already clear to the Dawoodi Bohras. Khuzaima Qutbuddin made a false claim.
While his second son Mohammed Burhanuddin organised a missaq in February 2014 and declared him as the new Sydena, his half brother Khuzaima Qutubuddin also followed the same path and declared himself as the Syedna of the community.
Incorrect: The second sons name is Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin, not "Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin".
Incorrect: Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS did not declare himself the Syedna in February 2014. He was already appointed as the successor in 2011, and became the Syedna after the demise of the previous Syedna RA.
Correct: Khuzaima Qutubuddin also followed the same path and declared himself as the Syedna of the community. That is what the word "dawedaar" or "muddai" means. A person who falsely declares himself, without being rightfully appointed.
“Syedna Taher Saifuddin became the spiritual leader of our community in 1965 at an age of 53. Me father was the youngest of 11 siblings of the Syedna and he was appointed as the mazoon - the deputy spiritual leader and was announced as his successors. But after the former Sydena suffered a stroke in 2011 his second son brought him in public and declared himself as the next Syedna. The former Syedna was not in a position to speak after the stroke,” said Aziz.
Incorrect: Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA became the spiritual leader in 1965, NOT Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA.
Incorrect: Khuzaima Qutbuddin was not the youngest of all the children. He was the 11th out of 12 children. Shehzada Mohammed al Baqir Bs was the youngest.
Incorrect: Khuzaima Qutbuddin was NEVER "announced as his successor". Read my comments above.
Incorrect: In 2011, Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA publicly appointed Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin as his sucessor and performed nass on him.
Aziz first claimed (above) that Syedna Mufaddal TUS "declared" himself Syedna in February 2014, and now claims he did so in 2011.
Aziz can't seem to make up his mind and stick to one story.
Incorrect: The former Syedna WAS most definitely in a position to speak. This is evident in the Cromwell Hospital audio and video, the Raudat Tahera video, and the 1st Waaz of Ashara 1433H.
Presently, there are two Syednas of the Dawoodi Bohra community and the followers are in utter confusion whom to select.
Incorrect: There is, and can only be ONE Syedna, and that is Syedna Mufaddal TUS. The other person is a claimant, who isn't and isn't the Syedna.
Incorrect: There is no "utter confusion" about whom to select. The only confused person is Khuzaima himself.
Syedna Khuzaima Qutubuddin decided to move to court in April 2014.
Correct: Khuzaima Qutbuddin decided to go to courts. Exactly how the claimant Sulaiman went to court Royal Court of Emperor Akbar in Lahore in 1591 - which is the theme surrounding this article.
Sulaiman suffered a humiliating defeat in Lahore.
Khuzaima Qutbuddin has already been defeated in the USA and UK cases. He's been 'knocked down' in the Mumbai case. Very soon, inshallah, he will be completely 'knocked out' and suffer a shameful defeat once and for all.
The deal is well known. 'You scratch my back and I will scratch yours'
