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:

Assalamun Khabisun!

you people do not have anything better to do in life, so you decide to hurt the dawoodi bohra community by opening such a website. you have to be an EX-BOHRA. if you know so much, you must also know that Allah's azab is so harsh on those who try to disrupt his dawat. may allah, kill you, and all your people deaths of Dogs and Pigs. may you suffer, to be in hell on earth and after you die. khuda ni laanat tara par ane tari toli wala par. Abdillah(TA)those who dare!those who dare!Will Die will die the hard way!

(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:

You have to be an Ex-Bohra

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever 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.

My beloved brother, we have been enjoined and commanded by Allah to invite all mankind to this deen of Islam, and Allah is our witness, that is our only motive. We invite you to leave the invocation and worship of man and graves, and come to the invocation and worship of the One Who Created you and me, the heavens and the earth, and everything that exists in between!

Allah says in the Holy Quran: Chapter 16, Surah An-Nahl Ayat 125: Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and excellent admonition and argue with people in the best manner. Your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Way and who is Rightly guided.

Our duty is only to invite you to the Siraat al Mustaqeem, giving you evidence from the Glorious Quran. If our quoting and inviting from the Glorious Quran hurts your feelings to an extent that you curse us, then fear that Allah, in Whose Court you and I will be standing Alone in His Presence to give a full accounting of our deeds!

Our teacher and our guide is Allah’s Book, the Al Quran, and the Messenger of Allah (saws), and we will quote nothing more than from these two sources. We are enjoined by Allah to invite you with wisdom and argue with you in the best manner. That is what our teacher teaches us, and that is exactly what we intend to do! If your teachers teach you to curse the people who invite you to the clear and open guidance of the Holy Quran, then prepare yourself for an inevitable Day, when you will be standing in the Court of Allah, and there will be no interpreter, no helper, no intercessor, no supporter between you and Allah!

May Allah have mercy on you and us, for nothing, but His Mercy will be between one going to the eternal Gardens of Bliss, or the everlasting torture of the Fire of Hell.

Your Comment: khuda ni laanat tara par (May the ’laanah’ of Allah be upon you):

It is Allah Who decides who deserves his ‘laanah’ or curse. We quote the aayahs of the Holy Quran as evidence for everything that we believe, for we believe in every word of the Holy Quran, and we believe in every word of the Messenger of Allah (saws). The reason you, in your ignorance and arrogance curse the people who invite you to the Truth of Islam, is because you have never understood the Message of the Glorious Quran. And the reason you have not understood the Message, is because your self-appointed leaders and your self-proclaimed holy men do not allow you to read the Holy Quran with understanding. If only you would read the Glorious Quran with understanding, you would realize who is guiding you to the Truth and who is leading you astray! You believe, invoke, kiss his feet, kiss his shoes, bow down in ‘rukooh’ when in ‘tasleem’ and make ‘sajdah’ to human beings, who have been instrumental in taking away the clear guidance of the Glorious Quran from you! And you curse the people who invite you to come to the clear, open, and simple guidance and the teachings of the Holy Quran!

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verse 159: Those who conceal the clear (Revelations) and Guidance We have sent down, after We have made it clear for the people in the Book, on them shall be Allah’s ‘laanah’ and the ‘laanah’ of those who are entitled to curse!

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Al-Baqarah verse 174: Indeed those, who conceal the commands that Allah has sent down in His Book and barter them away for paltry worldly gains, fill their bellies with fire. Allah will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He regard them as pure and there is a painful torment for them!

Your Comment: Allah's azab is so harsh on those who try to disrupt his dawat. may allah, kill you, and all your people deaths of Dogs and Pigs. may you suffer, to be in hell on earth and after you die. khuda ni laanat tara par ane tari toli wala par.

You are trying to scare us from the consequences of not invoking and worshipping a human being? And you are not scared of associating a partner with Allah? The human being that you are invoking is himself trying to beg forgiveness from My Lord, Allah Subhanah! Now you tell me, who has more Right that he should be feared? Fear Allah and His Punishment, or fear some slave of Allah, who himself should be in constant awe of Allah?

Allah is our witness, we fear not the men and their consequences you threaten us with, but rather we fear the displeasure of our Lord and Creator, Allah Subhanah, and the thought that we will have an accounting on that One Inevitable Day when He shall gather all mankind together. And we have put our trust in Allah Alone, the Lord of the Worlds!

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah Anam verse 81-82: And there is no reason why I should fear those whom you have made partners with Allah, when you are not afraid of setting up those things as partners with Allah, for which He has sent down No Authority to you! Then tell me, if you have any knowledge: Which of the two parties merits peace and freedom from fear? As a matter of fact, only those who have believed, and not polluted their Faith with ‘shirk’, have peace and are Rightly Guided.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale Imran verse 175: It is Shaitaan who is frightening the people with the fear of his ‘awliyaa’. Therefore, in future, do not fear them, but fear Me (Allah), if you are indeed true Believers!

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale Imran verses160: If Allah helps you, none can overcome you! And if Allah forsakes you, who is there, then, after Allah that can help you? Therefore, the true believers should trust in Allah Alone.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 39 Surah Zumar verse 38: If indeed you (O Prophet) asked them, “Who is it that created the earth?”, they would surely say, “Allah”. Say, “See you then? The things that you invoke besides Allah, can they, if Allah wills some penalty for me, remove His penalty? Or if Allah wills some mercy for me, can they keep back his mercy?” Say: “Sufficient is Allah for me! In Him trust those who put their trust.”

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah Isra (Bani Israel) verses 56-57: (O Prophet) say, “You may call for help those, besides Allah, whom you fancy. They have neither the power to remove your troubles from you, nor change them!” In fact, those beings whom these people call for help themselves seek the means of approach to Allah, and vie with one another to be nearer to Him, and hope for His Mercy and fear His Wrath. The fact is that the Wrath of your Lord is a thing to be dreaded!

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 36 Surah Yaa Seen verses 74-75: Yet, they have set up others besides Allah, hoping that they would be helped! They (those invoked) do not have the power to help them, yet these people stand as an ever ready troop at their service!

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 22 Surah Hajj verse73: O mankind! A parable is related to you, so listen to it! Those on whom you call besides Allah, cannot create a fly, even though they may all combine together for this purpose! Nay! If a fly snatches away anything from them, they would have no power to release it from the fly! How weak are the those who petition, and how weak are those to whom they supplicate!

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 7 Surah Aaraf verses 197: Those whom you call besides Allah, cannot help you, nor can they help themselves.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 34 Surah Saba verses 22: (O Prophet) say, “Call on those whom you invoke as deities besides Allah. They neither own an atom’s weight of anything in the heavens, nor in the earth. Nor have they anything to share in either, nor is any of them a helper of Allah”

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 22 Surah Hajj verses 13: Then, instead of Allah, he invokes those who can do him neither harm nor good. This is the last extremity of deviation. He invokes those who are more likely to do him harm, than good! What an evil ‘maula’ he chooses, and what an evil companion.

My beloved brother, read the Quran once with understanding, and then see for yourself who has a bigger right to be feared? The Holy Quran are the very words of Allah Subhanah, and He in His Sublime Mercy has sent us this warning, but we have invented our own names as our supporters and helpers! The Promises Allah makes in the Glorious Quran will ALL come true… and all the promises made by man will disappear! We urge you to read the Quran with understanding and see for yourself, who is Rightly Guided and who is Astray…. And if you don’t do that, fear that Day, when you will be standing alone in the Court of Allah. And when all the false promises made by your self-appointed ‘auliyaas’ disappear, you will have nothing but regrets and dismay, and an everlasting abode of the torture of the blazing Fire of Hell!! And the ones who commit ‘shirk’, Allah has promised in the Holy Quran, that He will never ever take them out of the Fire of Hell!!! May Allah protect us and save us from that terrible abode called Hell….!!

May Allah guide you and us all to read and understand the Holy Quran! May Allah guide you and us to the Siraat al Mustaqeem. May Allah have mercy on the Ummah of Islam, and bring them back to the clear and simple guidance and teachings of the Glorious Quran. Ameen.

May Allah guide you and us to read and understand the simple and plain words of the Glorious Quran. May Allah increase our knowledge from the Holy Quran. May Allah guide us to the Siraat al Mustaqeem.

May Allah guide you and us all to the Siraat al-Mustaqeem

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
