Your view about the Dawoodi Bohras is wrong
Mu' meneen Brothers
and Sisters,
As Salaam Aleikum wa
Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be
upon all of you)
One of our
brothers/sisters has asked this question:
i have been reading your
notes and your views on our religion and it is all rubbish your questions and
the answers u give please stop sending mails like this and calling yourself a
well wisher and believer of islam u are not even a mumeen if u question our dai
and call him a dictator please stop this as a real mumeen is not going to be
brainwashed by your very much intelligent answers
(There may be some
grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not
change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our
readers for circulation in confidentiality.)
Answer:
In the name of Allah, We praise
Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can
misguide, and who-ever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We
bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no
imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness
that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Allah says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 18 Surah Kahf verse 29:Proclaim, “This (Quran) is the Truth from
your Lord: now whosoever wills may
accept it, and whosoever wills may reject it.” (As for those who reject it) We
have prepared for such workers of iniquity a fire whose flames have encircled
them. There, if they ask for water,
they will be given a drink like the dregs of oil, which will burn their mouths! What an evil drink, and what an evil abode!
Our duty was only to invite you
to the Truth of the Glorious Quran.
Allah has given each individual intelligence and the free will to choose
whatever path he/she wills to attain salvation. If we follow the guidance of the Holy Quran, we shall be guided
aright. If we choose to reject the
guidance of the Quran, and follow any other Path, we shall have no one to blame
except ourselves.
Allah and His Messenger alone
have the right to be followed and obeyed unconditionally. If we choose to follow any other
Personality unconditionally, then we have definitely strayed from the Siraat al
Mustaqeem.
I humbly and earnestly invite
you to read and understand the clear message of the Holy Quran. That is the only Straight Path that leads
to the Mercy and Forgiveness of Allah. Any other path, in any
other name, under any other guise,
under any other Personality… leads only
to the everlasting torment of Hell Fire.
Each and every human being will bear witness to this Truth One Day. The choice we have is to either understand
the Message of the Quran in this life and align ourselves with the commands of
Allah and His Messenger (saws); or keep on following the other Personalities
that have absolutely no authority from the Glorious Quran.
Allah says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale Imran verse 31-32: O Prophet, tell the people, “If
you sincerely love Allah, follow
me. Then Allah will love you and
forgive you your sins, for He is All
Forgiving, All Merciful.” Also say to them, “Obey Allah and His
Messenger.” And if, in spite of this, they do not accept your
invitation, warn them that Allah does
not love those, who refuse to obey Him and His Messenger.
Whatever written of Truth and
benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error
is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He
is the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and well wisher in
Islam,
Burhan
