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:

(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:

Bohra brother project

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.

Q-1: Firstly i want your permission to copy the contents from your website as it consists lot of literature i need.

Dear and Beloved Brother in Islam, our one and only mission is to propagate the Truth of the Quran and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (saws) to all who are willing to listen to good caution. If any of the articles written on the forum helps to further the Cause of Allah in any way, no brother and sister needs any permission from us or anyone else to copy the contents from our humble website and send or distribute them to anyone they wish.

Q-2: Secondly i personally wants to meet you.if you can give me your email id(personally),i will be in touch with you on continous basis.i would not mind if you want to keep it confidential,just dont tell it on the website.
Dear and Beloved Brother in Islam, every single message or correspondence on this humble website is brought directly and immediately to my attention; thus the absolutely best place to remain in contact is through the website. I may or may not open my personal email account on a daily basis, but the website is monitered extremely closely and several times a day for the messages from our dear brothers and sisters in Islam.

We also assure you that under no circumstances do we ever reveal or distribute the names or addresses of our respected brothers and sisters from the forum. Their identity and confidentiality is a trust and ‘amanah’ with us; and we assure you that never ever will we break this trust that our brothers and sisters have trusted us with.

Dear and Beloved Brother, with the advent of the internet, Allah Subhanah has awarded man today to correspond in absolute confidentiality. Just as our brothers and sisters correspond with us in confidentiality, we respond to them in absolute anonimity. Allah is our witness, we wish for absolutely no thanks and no reward for our humble service in regulating and moderating this forum from anyone; and seek our reward from none except Allah Subhanah, the Lord of the Worlds. Beloved Brother, as you can imagine, there are many who have tried and are still striving to bring this humble forum to an end; and many a times we have even received death threats from people whose vested interests are threatened by the propagation of the Truth. Thus, as much as we would love to meet personally and strive to further the Cause of Truth for the Pleasure of Allah Subhanah; we are obliged to protect the identity and safety of the brothers and sisters who help in regulating this humble forum. I sincerely hope that you will understand our condition, and forgive us if we decline the invitation of our brothers to meet personally.

May Allah Subhanah help you and guide you in your efforts and striving in His Noble Cause and protect you and your family from every evil. Ameen.

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 in Islam,

Burhan
