  • Statement on Ashara
    August 17 2020 DAWOODI BOHRAS TO OBSERVE ASHARA MUBARAKA AT HOME IN 2020 About Ashara Mubaraka ● At the beginning of the Islamic year during the month of Muharram, the Dawoodi Bohra community - like millions of Muslims around the world - commemorates the martyrdom of SAW ​ Imam Husain ibn Ali, the grandson of Prophet Mohammed .​ ​ ​ ● For the Dawoodi Bohra community, this ten-day period, known as Ashara Mubaraka, is a ​ time of spiritual reflection and educational growth. Thousands of Dawoodi Bohras across the world travel to the city chosen for the central gathering by their leader, His Holiness Dr. Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin to listen to his sermons. Those that do not ​ ​ ​ attend in person join their local congregations in which sermons are delivered by persons appointed by His Holiness. ● Starting on the 2nd day of the month of Muharram and delivered over nine days, the sermons explore themes of justice, sacrifice, brotherhood, forgiveness, kindness and piety - all qualities that manifest themselves in the tragedy that befell Imam Husain and his companions in Karbala, Iraq, which ultimately led to his martyrdom. ● This year, the Ashara Mubaraka sermons will take place between 19 and 28 August. ● Members close shops and businesses while professionals and students take leave during this nine-day period in order to participate fully and observe the sanctity of the occasion. Online Sermons due to COVID-19 ● In keeping with the government guidelines and instructions on social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year, Dawoodi Bohra communities all over the world will instead observe Ashara Mubaraka at home with their families by following prayers and sermons online, just as they have done during Ramadan and other recent religious occasions.

    ʿAshara Mubaraka AH 1440 Majlis 7 English Reflections On the 8th of Muharram al-Haraam we were blessed with the barakat of three Du’at Mutlaqeen in the day of ʿAshara Mubaraka dedicated to Amirul Mumineen AS. Al-Dai al-Ajal Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA invoked Imam Husain AS to intercede for those who have yet to be blessed with children. Zakariyyah Nabi AS was instructed to fast on the second of Muharram and by the intercession of barakat of Imam Husain, Allah Taʿala answered his prayer for a child. Syedna Saifuddin RA recalled that his father Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA also fasted on this day and was bless with children at a late age. In the brief bayan mubarak we had the honour of listening to, Maulana al-Muqaddas RA directed us to always remember one thing: remain true to your dai. We were then blessed with the waʿaz mubarak delivered by Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA 33 years ago in Indore affront a gathering of nearly 1,20,000 at the same location where al-Dai al-Ajal Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS addresses us today. In his waʿaz mubarak, Syedna al-Muqaddas explained that Imam Husain AS chose to sacrifice his life in order to preserve truth, to preserve the faith. In this context Maulana Burhanuddin RA counselled Mumineen to always be truthful, to continuously remember Husain AS as do people of other communities who even take vows in his name. We should stay true to the Shariah, prayer and fasting and be brotherly both with Mumineen and with people of other beliefs.

  • Muslim Women and the Challenge of Religion in Contemporary Mumbai 323 Muslim Women and the Challenge of Religion in Contemporary Mumbai
    Muslim Women and the Challenge of Religion in Contemporary Mumbai 323 Muslim Women and the Challenge of Religion in Contemporary Mumbai QUDSIYA CONTRACTOR Religious freedom for Muslims in general, and the rights of Muslim women in particular, has been a matter of serious contention in post-colonial India. Although the right to religious freedom is enshrined in the Constitution, and India is signatory to several international conventions, it continues to be highly contested not just in the courts of law, but also in everyday life. The rights of women to equality of religious practice seems to throw up greater political challenges since the guardians of most religions are men, while religion itself is seen by many feminists as another institution that constitutes patriarchal power, to which Islam is no exception. Religious personal laws, for instance, have posed a major challenge to the career of secularism and one such debate has been the role of religious orthodoxy on the question of Muslim women’s autonomy in marital and family life. The Shah Bano case (1985–86) highlighted how the interests of women are particularly vulnerable to exploitation by an alliance of religious and secular interests (Pathak and Rajan 1989). Muslim women’s activism in India has been trying to challenge patriarchal interpretations of the Quran, calling for broader and more inclusive interpretations of women’s social and religious identity a longer version was within Islam; a perspective that has influenced change in other Published in The Economic and Political Weekly vol parts of the world (Mernissi 1991).
