Sabaq number 3 from Syedna BAB Deen
Dear Mumin brothers, sisters and your kids, many salams
First of all I convey my condolences on sad demise of SKQ. As our deen directs us, please join me in praying for the soul of the marhoom to reside in Jannat and give his family sabar.
Those who are happy and write songs to celebrate the death of SKQ are not mumin and not even humans. Let us not give them any forum to spread their evil ways.
Today begins a new chapter for Bohras. This is a day filled with freedom to think about the future of our community. SKQ has left a letter behind appointing his eldest son Taher Qutbuddin to continue the Fatemi dawat. He has been named Syedna Taher Fakhruddin (STF).
Before we start with the Sabaq, let’s cover few housekeeping items:
(1) The wrangling over burial of SKQ and spewing garbage by SMS camp is nothing new. For last ~90 years this has been a norm for kothar. They have denied burial, dug people out of graves, called them Iblis and declared hell for them. In the case of Mulla Aurangabadi, the followers of STS poured patrol over him and burned him to death. His crime: He was reciting Imam Husain majlis without raza. This is in their DNA. So, no one (including STF) should be surprised of their behavior with respect to SKQ.
(2) Those of you who were encouraged by the SKQ messages and were praying for his success to save our community, don’t be disappointed. He was in ill health and he had limited time to impact the community. May be his son STF will pay attention to my sabaqs and do better. I am praying for his success. I need some good competition.
(3) The Fatemi dawat while putting forward reform ideas and messages was bogged down in court fight and control of dawat resources. What a shame!
(4) A true dai will focus on the community and follow and preach the message of Islam as laid out in Quran. So, look for that before you support anyone.
(5) Unfortunately, majority of Bohras are social rats. They need to belong and they like to follow. So, the kothar obliges by setting up big events for them and take their money.
(6) STF has a choice to make. Follow the same model and work hard to get followers to carry on his parallel reign. Or denounce the ~90 years of misbehavior and chart a new brave course. A new course based on decency exhibited by his father.
Sabaq number 3: Today’s Sabaq includes five basic lessons. They are repeated from Sabaq 1. I will keep repeating them until 50% of the Bohras and all Aamils get it. I have assigned grades to all three Syedna claimants for each lesson to make it easy for you to select the right one. Final grade is included at the end.
(1) Read Quran and translation. The main lesson you will learn is that you are responsible for your actions. Nobody can take you to Jannat with him or sell you one. Not any Syedna, not any Imam (hidden or present). Even the Rasullah did not guarantee Jannat for you. You screw up, you may go to hell. Accounting will be done up there by God. It’s that simple. So, no need to grab any daman. Only I get an A grade on this.
(2) Quran says: Education is important for all. So, educate yourself, all your children, and help others in the community. Keeping your wife and daughters uneducated is a Kothari scam. SKQ did very good in this area so Fatemi also gets an A grade on this.
(3) Understand what you are saying during prayers. The goal is to go out and practice what you just promised God. Remember God knows when you are clueless or faking it. Arabic understanding is not required, say it in any language. God is multi-lingual. It also stops middle man from fooling you. Only I get an A grade on this.
(4) Earn your money honestly and spend it wisely. Practice Charity with some leftover money. It is good for the society and your soul. Do not go through middle men. You will not get credit for what they pocket. Helping needy and feeding hungry is high on God’s list. Ziafat, salams and feeding Bohra fat cats does not count. SKQ kids are educated and work to earn a living, so Fatemi also gets an A grade on this.
(5) Remember you are on your own. If you can master a thick book of Physics or Chemistry in one semester, you can master the Quran too. No need to spend 3 years to memorize it. Just keep a translation handy and refer it when needed. Buy and use any translation. Again educated SKQ family offers some hope in this area.
So here are the final grades:
BAB Deen: A A A A A (Title: The man)
Fatemi (STF): F A B A B (Title: Some Hope)
SMS: F F C F F (Title: Brainless)
There you go, follow the best guy (Hint: I am salam free). Be good and go have fun. I am off to hiking (I do not believe in obesity)
Your smart Syedna, BAB (Born again Bohra) Deen
Fine Print: (1) This document was deliberately undated to prevent SMS Bohra migration from ignorance to dark ages. (2) This sabaq was written to secretly keep hope alive for the Divided Bohra community.
