Lets Introspect,"Reformers"
Posted: Mon Nov 07, 2005 8:42 am
I just happened to stumble upon this site and was shocked and aghast at what some of the people here had to say about Aqa Moula(TUS) and the Fatimid dawat.
I would like to offer my humble opinion and try to shed some light upon some of these issues.
Firstly, i found that members from the so called "Reformist" clan consistenly taunted the concept of community meals or Niyaz Jamans.
For the information of the misinformed and misguided reformists, the concept of community meals has been around from the time of our beloved prophet Rasullulah(SAW).
The very idea of these community dinners is not to satisfy our gastronomical desires, but rather to serve as a meeting place for the community brothers to socialize.
Man is a social being.
Most of you would be familiar with this concept because your kind also flock together to malign and abuse the Dawat and beloved our Dai.
The very tradition of eating at a Thal and to share while partaking our food is in order to promote brotherhood and love.
As for the quality of food that we indulge in, all i can say is that by the grace of Allah and the dua of his Dai, mumineen enjoy a decently high standard of living and i see no reason as to why we should not eat the best of food.
Most importantly, this salawat niyaz is a blessing from Allah, his prophet and his progeny and his Dai. Most of you have been deprived of this blessing of Salawat Niyaz.
I don't know if the so called reformists scholars realise the sawab and virtue of providing salawat niyaz to mumineen. Perhaps, its because you all are all so money centric that even donating a single paise towards such activities is torture for you.
However you will gladly open your purses for pathetic and baseless activities such as your "reform movement".
A few people referred to the tragic environmental disasters which have befallen upon the united states and pakistan and said that they have donated large sums of money towards these efforts. Noble as your intentions may be, tell me something, after you make your donations towards these funds, do you demand an account from the concerned agencies regarding the way in which the money is being spent. probably, no.
More significantly, have any of you got out of the comfort of your homes and visited the affected areas in order to provide relief.
Then what gives the reformists the right to demand an explanation of how the zakat and vajebaat funds are spent.
For your information, Aqa Moula, a true philantropist, has always tried to extend every assistance possible in order to help victims of natural calamities and disease outbreaks.
During the Surat Plague, he sent out teams of doctors to treat the sick and needy in addition to donating a handsome amount.
Even in the tragic Tsunami, Katrina hurricane incident, Huzurala has assisted the needy, dispatched medical aid and has donated sums for relief operations.
It is a matter of faith that separates you from us. You believe, that the money from Vajabats is misused, whereas we believe that the money is rightly spent in the service of Imam-uz-zaman and Islam. We believe that the money is spent towards constructing Beautiful Masjids, Rozas, schools, colleges, madrassa, hospitals and so on.
I have personally seen jamaat members going to the homes of the poor and needy in the community and give them support, both financial and moral, in order to try and free them from the shackles of poverty.
Today, the Dawoodi Bohra community, under the able, caring and loving leadership of HH.Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin saheb(TUS), is flourishing and has recieved unprecendented bounties from Allah.
It is because of our Aqa Moula, that our community commands respect and admiration from all countries and people, worldwide.
In fact, when Huzurala visited the United States recently, the Americans;who are still suspicious about muslims; said that they had seen many islamic leaders, but Aqa Moula was the only one who preached Love, brotherhood and harmony as opposed to hate and violence. They said that this is the true face of Islam.
Alhamdolillah, Aqa Moula, presents the right and glorious face of islam to the world.
Many of you "reformists", do not like to wear the Cap of don the Saya; well i feel sorry for you, because by rejecting he libas ul anwar, you allow yourself to be identified with the misguided people who have not even understood what islam stands for and indulge in blasphemous and violent activities, thereby, maligning the name if Islam.
I read in your site, that islam needs to be changed in order to survive in the changing world.
I respectfuly disagree. Islam does not need to be changed. Islam only needs to be correctly interpreted.
I am a educated young man, and i am pretty open minded to other people's opinions. However, i cannot agree with your views regarding what the dawat is preaching.
I attend most, vaaz and sermons and have always found that our leaders preach love and harmony, they want us to live complete meaningful lives in the service of Allah.
It is because of the visionary leadership of our beloved Moula that today, we are one of the most successful and highly educated communities in the world and can boast of having an almost 100% literacy rate. And under the loving guidance of our Moula, we will continue to flourish.
I was especially pained to read some imbecile commenting that the mourning and matam of imam Husain(AS) is wrong.(Laanat)
Such individuals are more suited to follow the wahabi sect of islam(perhaps you do). If so, then you have no right of calling yourself a shia, let alone a bohra.
The matam of imam husain along with the obedience of our Imam and Dai is a fundamental cornerstone of our faith. If you question this aspect of our faith, you should seriously consider a change of sects as currently, you are confused. Imam Husain's pain and hardships is not something that is put in the freezer all year long and then just brought out for Moharram.
The monumental sacrifices that Imam Husain(AS)made for us mumineen must be remembered everyday and at every moment.
I would also like to reply to a munafiqeen from the reformist clan who said that we make a hype of Imam Husain's death instead of celebrating his life. Now i'm sure that you Reformists believe and spread heresay and blasphemy.
If any of you have ever attended an ashara waaz, (i.e arrived on time and not slept through it)
you would have heard glorious accounts from the life of Imam Husain(AS) and Panjatan Pak.
the reason why you only happen to focus on the Matam part is because, you probably arrive at the majlis while the last matam is being held.
More importantly, The martyrdom of Imam Husain teaches us to be brave and strong like Imam Husain when tragedies befall us in our lives. We compare our pain with the pain imam Husain went through and undoubtedly, our pains are nothing as compared to what imam husain went through.
The next time you attend a vaaz(Insha allah), keep your ears open and try not to doze off and then you will realize what nehmat resides in the aza and bukaa for imam husain.
Imam Ali(AS) was once asked by a hypocrite that he loves both Imam Ali(AS) and the other Caliphs(Lanat). Imam Ali, very wisely suggested to him to either a person who can see or a person who is blind; he should not be Kaana(one eyed).
I think this little narration suits very well to the reformist hypocrits; You are currenly One eyed(visually impaired) to not see the benefit and sawab that we true mumineen are blessed with by imam-uz-zaman and his Dai.
My humble suggestion to you all would be to either, go entirely blind(by leaving the fold of the dawat) and reserve a place for urselves and your families in hell; in contrast, Allah's Dai is an ocean of mercy and forgiveness, wouldn't it be better if you begged his forgiveness and try to wash your sins.
But Alas, you hypocrites are so blinded by hate and what your leader Engineer preaches that you have lost the ability to see the noor that is present on Aqa Moula's face and in the dawat.
And for those of you, who call us blind followers, all i can say is "religion is not posible without faith". We have faith in Allah Rasullalah(SAW), Panjatan Pak(AS), Imam-uz-zaman(AS) and his Dai(TUS); whereas, you have faith in your saviour Mr.Engineer.
The reason you call us blind followers of Aqa Moula is because you yourselves are so blinded by the ways of the world that you are unable to see the Noor of Imam-uz-zaman and Rasulullah(SAW) shining on the face of Aqa Moula.
It is nothing less than his Haideri strength and unlimited love for mumineen's welfare in life and after death, that he discharges his duties with vigour even at this old age of 94.
I would like to ask the reformists, if they have ever come across a person who has led his life in the service of islam and mankind and continues to do so even when disease and old age comes upon him.
This is the strength of Panjatan Pak and Imam-uz-zaman. It's still not too late, the door of Dawat are open for all.
May Allah give you the strength and sense to come back in the soothing folds of the Dawat.
You so called Progressives are slowly but surely progressing towards the fire of hell.
May Allah grant our beloved Aqa Moula a long and healthy life and may the mischief mongers(Reformists) be vanquished with Allah's sword.
