core duties of DAI

The one and only free public forum for Bohras. The focus of this forum is the reform movement, the Dawoodi Bohra faith and, of course, the corrupt priesthood. But the discussion is in no way restricted to the Bohras alone.

I don't know about the duties mentioned in authentic Ismaili books but the core duties of the current Dai are as follows:

1) Charge millions of rupees to gullible bohras after having lavish meals called ziafat at their expense in the name of blessing their home.
2) Make sure that bohras perform maatam at the drop of a pin whether it is a marraige or a mayyat.
3) Sell titles like Sheikh, NKD etc. to highest bidders whether they know anything about Islam or not
4) Tell bohras at every occasion that "Khuda tamhaare Imam Husain naa gum siwai koi gum naa bataawe" but in reality make sure that "Khudaa bohraaoone har warse wajebaat bharwaana gum siwai koi bijo gum sehwaana laik naa chhode"
5) Encourage bohras to sing praises for him on every occasion, pray namaz for his long life and if possible donate their skins for his jootis
6) Go for expensive hunting trips to Africa
7) Roam around in expensive cars
8 ) Live in palatial mansions at the expense of the community
9) Give a damn about poors in the community
10) Collect zakaat from one and all. Whether they can afford it or not. But make sure that as a Dai you pay none.
11) Teach bohras to lead a simple life like Maulana Ali while having fun at their expense
12) Support a 500 odd family of nincompoops and make sure that bohras address to them as prince and princess
13) Talk about the greatness and simplicity of Prophet and ahle-bait in every bayaan sitting on an expensive takht and after the bayaan is over collect fat salaams from the bohras, eat a lavish meal and go back to your royal palace in your Mercedes Benz
14) Encourage cult following in the community
15) Make sure that bohras remain miles away from authentic version of Islam as preached by the prophet and ahle-bait
16) Use the name of Imam Husain and the martyrs of Karbala for controlling the minds of gullible followers
17) Join hands with people like Narendra Modi and Bal Thackeray who are true enemies of Islam to protect your self interests

There are many more duties of our current Dai which I do not recollect at this point and will post them as when I remember.
