Dawoodi Bohra Forum

All the wahabis and bohra haters,who butt in on every thread and criticize all the practices of Dawoodi Bohras, just give one logical answer to this.

Why did some of you celebrated Eid-ul-Adha on Monday, when Haj was on Sat-Sun. If this is not idiotic, then what is...

Some wahhabis have localized Haqiqi Kaabas like the bohras do. So they celebrate Eid as per local Haqiqi Kaabas.

Why did some of you celebrated Eid-ul-Adha on Monday, when Haj was on Sat-Sun. If this is not idiotic, then what is...

And how many times DB and other Bohras (alavi as they follow DB) celebrate Eid Ul Adha and do Hajj day before the rest of Muslim Ummah does. if that is not idiotic then what is?

This is typical stuff again, I have raised this question earlier in saperate thread but None replied to the point :-
When it comes to defend DB faith, the Pseudo progressives keep mum but they get hell of energy suddenly when it comes to defend sunni/wahabi faith
When you yourself don't believe and trust your own tenant of faith then ghanta you will bring reform ?

oma,

You have raised a very good point. And instead of answering your question, stranger has decided to attack you. Typical stuff again.

This is typical stuff again, if you can not answer, make personal attack, I have raised many question in different threads about following:
1-Gold collection for Ma Fatema's Zarih, what happened
2-Noorani Toilet, which Shazada benefited asking all DBs to change
3-Bhendi Bazar Upliftment what is the status
4-Free Food distribution why it changed to Tiffin for Money
But No reply came from the Kothari Defenders when it comes to asking about transparency and accountability, the pseudo Regressive keep
mum but they get hell of energy suddenly to attack everyone else.
BTW I do not defend nor defame any one's believes, just opine myself. My theory is "it is between you and Allah"

I see that Muslim First is keeping mum...

Br Prof wastaian

I do not think you have enough brain power in your Khopdi to understand that Mainstream Islam has no central authority and most of them follow Qur'an and Sunah to start month for religious purposes.
Below is OFFICIAL Day of Eid-al-Adha in Different Countries
And reason why it was on Nov. 6 or Nov. 7
Main Stream Muslims do not follow calculated calander based on moon birth at Cairo, Egypt.

Good, so please re-read ur above statement before making any comment on DB's and Sydena now on.

But Eid-ul-Adha has nothing to do with the date of the month, does it(even from the historical context). It is just the day when people perform Haj. In some countries they celebrated Yaum-e-Arafat(day of Haj) on Sunday and kept fast. How can this be as the Hujjaj had already been to Arafat on Sat. How do you justify this? Seems idiotic to me...

Brother, AS
You are proving that you have Bhusa in your Khopdi.

for Non Hajis Eid-ul-Adha is day of sacrifice. Before days of instant communication Muslims of rest of world did not know when day of Arafa happened in Mecca so they celebrated Eid-ul-Adha as per local sighting.
Now question for you
Why bohras perform hajj out of sync with rest of Hajis most of the times?
Did you notice in Egypt (Base of Fatemi Calendar) Criteria was”Moon Born before sunset & moon sets at least 5 minutes after sunset” but not old enough to be seen.

Here are predicted dates for

Ramadan 1433 AH: The Astronomical New Moon is on July 19, 2012 (Thursday) at 4:24 Universal Time (7:24 a.m. Makkah time). On Thursday, July 19, it can not be seen anywhere in the world by naked eye, except in small areas of Polynesian Islands.

On July 19, 2012 (Thursday), Sunset at Makkah at 7:01 p.m., Moonset is at 7:11 p.m. Moon is born before sunset at Makkah and moonset is after sunset at Makkah. Therefore, according to Ummula-Qura Calendar, 1st day of Ramadan is Friday, July 20, 2012 insha'Allah.

According to Fiqh Council of North America criteria (moon born before sunset at Makkah, and moonset after sunset at Makkah) 1st day of Ramadan is Friday, July 20, 2012 insha'Allah.

How about Qur;an Challenge?

http://dawoodi-bohras.com/forum/viewtop ... f=2&t=6533

You still did not get it? It shows you need to eat some Badam to increase your brain power.

Before time of instant communication Hajj and Eid happened in Mecca as per local moon sighting as ordered in qur'an and sunna.

Muslim around the world celebrated Eid as per local sighting, and it may or may not be same day.

Remember there are always two different days in world at any given moment.

Please do not hasitate to ask any stupid questions on Islam. We can ome up with answer.

Different times of the same day is a different thing. But a 24 hour difference as you observe is definitely a

different

day. Maybe you need to eat some badams.

Have you heard of International Date Line [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Date_Line ]?

Look at this image [ http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=htt ... Q&dur=3541 ]

I bet Island of Tonga and Samoa have same time but different date.

So Taher in Tonga and Burhan in Samoa will be celebrating Eid on different day.
