Christmas Eve 24 rakat washek : Har rakat ma jingle bell

Aaje Santa Claus Bhai saheb har mumin na ghar ma tashreef laavse.

Iltimas chhe ke Christmas Tree na paase Fakhir Najwa araz kare.
Aap sagla ne MERRY XMAS Mohanna thai !
PEEVA MA YAAD.

Hi SBM / AZ

Your humor is funny, but off the mark. Washek is not a wrong practice in Bohra Faith. I believe ridiculing such practice would hurt bohra sentiments and undermine credibility of your arguments. Best sense of humor is one when everyone can enjoy and laugh without hurting sentiments which are justified. Morever even if they are not justified or against your POV / Belief we can refrain from ridicule.

I love Christmas festivities too, its so much fun, frolic and positive feeling around. Singing carols, wishing and greeting people with blessings, anticipating funny santa clause (ho ho ho ), xmas tree, gifts, chocolates, feasting .. so much of affection, love and celebrations devoid of any hatred, prejudice and reservations.

Hi AZ

I liked your joke on ‘Shehzada Santa Claus Bhai Saheb’ well if any of shehzada impersonate Santa Claus, they would come to the house to take away the gifts rather than keep them near Xmas tree !! he he he .. well that makes them “The Grinch” and not Santa !!
Neah I m wrong …Infact Shehzadas / Bhaisaheb / Amils / Sheikhs would make cute Santa Clauses, they have the visible ingredients; white beard, pot belly and noor on the face. A little adjustment has to be done .. Red Saya/kurta-pyjama/ and topi knitted in red & white kasab.

Hey Bohra Mumins

I m not ridiculing any religious practice or belief here, this humor is in light spirits. Its even safe to be shared with extremist bohra mumins . Infact I have already did once, and we had a hearty laugh .. they came up with more variety and punches to the jokes..
