Mumbai Mirror article on e-Jamaat cards
Last week, a report was published by Mumbai mirror (an Indian newspaper) on E-Jamaat cards.
Titled under the heading "Keeping track of community", the news report states that though Indian govt has decided to have Unique Identity cards for each citizen, the Dawoodi bohra community is already having such a card for various purposes.
It also explains how the Bohra's use this card. "The cards are used as entry passes to their mosques, mausoleums and functions. It is also used to get permissions and clearances for pilgrimages to Shia holy places in India and abroad and to access online information on community services. Since every Bohra family has to pay religious levies to local religious officers called Amil, the card also monitors collection of these taxes. Since the card system registers every birth and death in the community, it is an effective system to count their worldwide strength."

THE DATE (Khajoor) AND ITS USES AS DESCRIBED IN THE QUR'AN
THE DATE (Khajoor) AND ITS USES AS DESCRIBED IN THE QUR'AN
In a number of Qur'anic verses, the humble date is honoured as one of the blessings of Paradise. (Qur'an, 55:68) When this fruit is examined, it can be seen to have a great many benefits. The date is one of the oldest known species of plant and its the only food of preference not only for its delicious taste but also for its nutritious properties. New benefits imparted by the date are being discovered every day and has come to be used as a medicine as well as a food. These benefits of the date fruit are noted in Surah Maryam.
For Expectant mothers:
The pains of labour drove her to the trunk of a date-palm. She [Maryam] said, "Oh if only I had died before this time and was something discarded and forgotten!" A voice called out to her from under her, "Do not grieve! Your Lord has placed a small stream at your feet. Shake the trunk of the palm towards you and fresh, ripe dates will drop down onto you. Eat and drink and delight your eyes…" (Qur'an, 19:23-26)
There is considerable wisdom in the way that Allah recommends Maryam to eat this fruit. The date is an excellent choice of food for the pregnant women and for those who have just given birth. This is a widely accepted scientific fact. The date has one of the highest sugar levels, 60-65%, of all fruits. Doctors recommend that pregnant women be given foods containing fruit sugar on the day they give birth. The aim behind this is to energise and revitalise the mother's weakened body and at the same time to stimulate the milk hormones and increase the levels of mother's milk essential to the new-born baby.
In addition, loss of blood during birth leads to a fall in body sugar levels. Dates are important from the point of view of enabling sugar to enter the body and prevent blood pressure from dropping. Their high calorific value strengthens people weakened by illness or suffering from extreme fatigue.
The medical identification of the benefits of the date only became possible in recent times. Yet it was set out fourteen centuries ago in the Qur'an that Allah revealed to Maryam that she should eat dates.
For Diabetics:
Dates also contain a form of sugar that gives the body high levels of mobility and heat energy and which can be easily broken down in the body. Furthermore, this sugar is not glucose, which rapidly raises the level of blood sugar but the fruit sugar fructose. A rapid rise in blood sugar levels in diabetics in particular has a damaging effect on a great many organs and systems, especially the eyes, kidneys, heart and circulatory system and nervous system. High blood sugar is one of the main causes of disorders as serious as loss of sight, heart attacks and kidney insufficiency.
Rich in vitamins and its other benefits
Dates contains many vitamins and minerals. They are very rich in fibre, fat and proteins. They also contain sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, sulphur, phosphorus and chlorine, as well as vitamins A, beta-carotene, B1, B2, B3 and B6. Further Dates have high iron levels, a human being can meet his or her iron requirements by eating just 15 dates a day and will thus
be protected from disorders arising from iron deficiency.
Dates have high amount of potassiums which are important in regulating the water balance in the body. Moreover, by helping oxygen to reach the brain, potassium enables one to think clearly. In addition, it provides the appropriate features for body fluids and stimulates the kidneys to expel toxic bodily wastes. It helps bring down high blood pressure and the formation of healthy skin.
The calcium and phosphate in dates are important elements for skeletal growth and balancing the body's bone structure. The high levels of phosphorus and calcium in dates protect the body against bone weakness and help reduce such disorders.
Scientists have recently discovered the way in which dates reduce stress and tension.
The vitamin B1 in dates facilitates the health of the nervous system, assists the transformation of the carbohydrates in the body into energy and the use of protein and fats to meet the body's needs whereas Vitamin B2 assists in the burning of protein, carbohydrates and fats for the provision of bodily energy and cell renewal.
Eating dates during Ramadan:
It is said that one should break our fast by eating dates. Ever wondered Why?? Well, as mentioned above dates are rich in all kinds of vitamins and minerals which are required for our body. Hence, when we eat a date fruit for breaking our fast we get all the energy that is required in our body which we would have otherwise taken normally when we are not fasting. In simple words it provides instant energy. Also, fatigue is one of the complaints during fasting (Why you should consume potassium rich foods during fasting days). As our body is well stocked up on food in the fatty tissues and the liver has a moderate supply of glucose to compensate for fasting. Unfortunately, it will not be released into the bloodstream if there is a deficiency of potassium in the blood. Hence, eating Dates before and after fast helps overcoming the same.
And there are many more............................
All these facts about dates reveal Allah's infinite knowledge and compassion for human beings. As we have seen, the benefits of the date, only recently established by modern medical science, but revealed in the Qur'an many years ago.

Introduction to Dawoodi Bohras
Introduction to Dawoodi Bohra's
Here I would like to go a bit in detail to show how did the Dawoodi Bohra community emerged:
Bohra's in general are Shia muslims, those who follow the religion of ISLAM that was revealed by Allah through Prophet Mohammed (SAW) and through his Vasi and Vali (successor) Imam Ali.
Shia Muslims believe that just as a prophet is appointed by God alone, only God has the prerogative to appoint the successor to his prophet. We believe that God had already chosen Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib to be the successor to Rasulallah. This was also revealed by Prophet Mohammed (SAW) during Eid-e-Gadeer-e-Khumb when he clearly stated that, "Man kunto Maula, Fa-haza, Ali-yun Maula", which means "For those I was a Maula, from now onwards Ali is your Maula". However, after the death of Prophet Mohammed, some people prevented Imam Ali to lead Islam and thus there was a split which is now known as Sunni muslims and Shia muslims.
Sunni Muslims though believe in Ali as not the Vasi and Vali (successor) but the 4th Caliph, whereas Shia Muslims believe that Imam Ali was and is the rightfull Imam after Prophet Mohammed (SAW). It is not strange that Imam Ali did not fight with the unjust to claim his position only due to the the sake of unity in the early Muslim community. Once, he said to his beloved wife Maulatena Fatema-tuz-Zahra, that, "If I pick up a sword to fight against them, Rasulallah's name would be forgotten".
Not moving away from the topic much, I will now show the hiearchy of Imam's that are followed by Shia's relating to Mustaliyyah Taiyaabi's (Bohras):
The Mustali Ismaili Muslims are so named because they accept Imam al-Mustali as the nineteeth Fatimid Imam and legitimate successor to his father, al-Mustansir. (In contrast, the Nizāriyya — presently headed by the Aga Khan — believe the rightful nineteeth caliph was Musta‘lī's brother, Nizār.)
The Mustaliyyah are also referred to as the Taiyabi after the last Imam they recognized, Imam Ṭayyib Abi al-Qasim. Originally, there was a distinction between Ṭayabiyah and the Hafiziyyah, who recognized the Fatimid rulers of Egypt between 1130-1169 as legitimate Imams, not Imam Tayyib Abi l-Qasim, however later, hafiziyyah lost all their views and converted to Taiyyabi.
Belief of Mustaliyyah Taiyaabi (Bohra's):
According to Mustaliyyah Taiyaabi's, Imam Taiyab Abi Al-Qasim was sent into seclusion by Imam Aamir and asked the queen of Yemen, al‐Malika al‐ Sayyida (Maulatena Hurratul-Malika) to establish the office of the Dai-Al-Mutlaq as the Imam's vicegerent, with full authority to govern the community in all matters both spiritual and temporal.
Another fundamental belief is that the presence of the secluded Imam (Immamuz-Zaman) is guaranteed by the presence of the Dai-al-Mutlaq and when the Imam re-appears from seclusion, it is the DAI who will help us to identify the Imam. Hence, after Imam Taiyab went into seclusion, Maulatena Hurratul Malika appointed the first Dai in Yemen, under the name of Imam Taiyab. It is also believed that though Allah had appointed Prophet Mohammed to lead mankind and he represented Seal Of The Prophet, however, there will be someone to guide mankind on this earth till the day of judgement from the Ahl al-Bayt (Prophet Mohammed's family) through the linage of Imam Ali who is chosen divinly to lead Islam and the Muslim community. All Imams uptill the 21st Imam and Imam-uz-Zaman (The Imam of the time), are the descendents of the Imam Ali and Prophet Mohammed who are guiding their followers through their Dai-Al-Mutlaq.
Understanding the word Dawoodi Bohra:
The word Bohra is a Gujrati word which means Traders. As majority of the community belonged to and still is a business related community, we are known as Bohra's. However, in 1592 (approx.), Sulaymani Bohra's were formed after the demise of the 26th Dai and claimed their 27th Dai to be different from Syedna Dawoodi bin Qutubshah. Hence, those who follow Syedna Dawood Bin Qutubshah as the 27th Dai are known as DAWOODI BOHRA's.
The list of the 52 Dai's followed by the Dawoodi Bohra's since the time when Imam Taiyab went into seclusion are as follows:
01. Syedna Zoeb Bin Moosa
02. Syedna Ibrahim Bin Husain
03. Syedna Hatim Bin Syedna Ibrahim

26. Syedna Dawood Bin Ajabshah ---> In 1592, Sulaymani Bohra's were formed after the demise of this Dai claiming their 27th Dai to be different from Syedna Dawoodi bin Qutubshah. Hence, those who follow Syedna Dawood Bin Qutubshah as the 27th Dai are known as DAWOODI BOHRA's.
27. Syedna Dawood Bin Qutubshah
28. Syedna Sheikh Aadam Safiuddin ---> In 1625, Alavi Bohra's sect was formed after the demise of this Dai claiming their 29th Dai to be different.

Introduction to ISLAM
A BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF ISLAM
The word Islam is a verbal noun originating from the triliteral root s-l-m, and is derived from the Arabic verb Aslama, which means "to accept, surrender or submit." Thus, Islam means acceptance of and submission to ALLAH, and believers must demonstrate this by worshipping him, following his commands, and avoiding polytheism. Hence, worshipping of IDOLS and any other GOD except ALLAH is prohibitted in Islam. Islam is also known as the Religion Of Peace. The person following Islam as his religion is known as a MUSLIM, which means "one who submits (to Allah)". Islam is a completed version of the same monotheistic faith that was revealed to all other prophets that are Adam (A.S), Nuh (A.S), Ibrahim (A.S), Musa (A.S) and Isa (A.S) before Rasulallah. Hence, Rasulallah is also known as the Seal Of the Prophets which means, HE is the last Prophet of ALLAH to lead mankind.
Before the revelations of the Quran, Rasulallah was a merchant and was involved in trade. It was when Prophet Mohammed's age was 40, when, the first Quranic revelation was revealed to him by Jibrael, Allah's angel at Mount Hira. He asked Rasulallah to say the following:
"Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created- Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood: Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful,- He Who taught (the use of) the pen,- Taught man that which he knew not."(Qur'an 96:1-5)
The first male person to bring Islam on the hands of Rasulallah was his cousin brother Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib who later married Maulatena Fatema-tuz-Zahra, the beloved daughter of Rasulallah. The first female to bring Islam was Prophet Mohammed's wife, Maulatena Khadija. While writing this I remember the word's of our beloved Aqa Maula, Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin, wherein he explained that there were people who said that Imam Ali cannot be the first person to accept Islam because he was a child, but then, were they greater than Rasulallah to comment on whether Ali's Islam is accepted or not??
Pillar's of Islam:
There are Seven Pillars of Islam:
1. Walayah - Love and devotion for ALLAH, His Prophets, The Imam's and the DAI's.
2. Taharah - This means purity and cleanliness of one's self.
3. Salat - Salat means prayers or in better words NAMAZ. It is mandatory for a muslim to pray Namaz 5 times a day.
4. Zakat - It means charity and purifying religious dues.
5. Sawm - Sawn relates to fasting or Roza. Fasting is an important pillar of Islam as it helps to purify one's soul from all the sins.
6. Hajj - It refers to pilgrimage to MECCA.
7. Jihad - It means holy war.
