Answer:
Bohra Questions
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.
Your Question: my question is people says
bohra are not true muslim as they say after our beloved prophet peace mercy and
blessings be upon him one more prophet is coming which is not true
Although it is true that
there are a multitude of corruptions in the belief of our Bohra brethren (like
invoking and worshipping graves, bowing down in prostrations to human beings
and graves, etc. to name a few), it is not true nor does it form a part of their
belief that a new Prophet will emerge after the Last and Final Messenger,
Mohamed ar-Rasool Allah (saws).
I was born into the
Bohra religion and lived amongst them for a period of my life, and I can vouch
that they declare belief in
What they do believe is
the emergence of an ‘Imam’ or leader named ‘Tayyib’, who apparently went into
‘purdah’ or hiding in his childhood and will appear before the end of time!
Your Question: people say that bohra are
qadiyanee which is different from sunni muslim.
The ‘Qadiyaanees’ or
‘Ahmadis’ falsely claim and believe that there is a Prophet after Prophet
Mohamed (saws) who received Revelations from Allah Subhanah; and because of
their this open and manifest blasphemy they have universally been declared by
the Muslim Ummah as disbelievers.
Our Bohra brethren do
declare and believe in the Oneness of Allah and the appointment of Prophet
Mohamed (saws) as the Last and Final Messenger of Allah; thus regardless of
whatever their scope of misguidance in belief and practices, they remain and
are accepted as muslims in the sight of the believing Ummah.
Sunan of
Abu-Dawood Hadith 2526 Narrated by Anas
ibn Malik
The Prophet
(saws) said: ‘Three things are the roots of faith: to refrain from (killing) a
person who utters, "There is no god but Allah" and not to declare him
unbeliever whatever sin he commits, and not to ex-communicate him from Islam
for his any actions.’
Your Question: and one more i want to ask very
personal question and i dont want this to be seen and read by all so pls give
the email id
