    Nice information. We have lived between the Dawoodi Bohras for a long time. As a Muslim we find them memorizing Quran and practicing Islam like you said praying in mosque. Mourning on the Prophets grandson Husain is one thing they do very regularly. As a social person we see them helping us in society hygiene & plantation. They also run a community kitchen which delivers food to every bohra 6 days a week ..

    Excellent video! As a Dawoodi Bohra I never expected to see my faith explored on your channel! Just a couple notes though about our community:
    While you are right we render 5 prayers a day, standard practice is to do them at 3 times: the fajr prayer stands alone, and we pray the asr immediately after zuhr, and Isha almost immediately after Maghrib. If one wanted to they could pray 5x a day, but the standard practice is more convenient and encouraged! It’s a small nuance but an important one, I think.
    Another note is that the Dawoodi Bohra presence stretches well beyond India/Pakistan. While the majority of our 500k-1m adherents live in the Subcontinent, we have communities in East Africa, North America, UK, EU, Australia and more numbering in the thousands to 10s of thousands each. I’m personally an American, and we have populations scattered across the country, with our largest mosques being in TX and CA.
    In any case, keep up the great work!

      @@Giantcrabz most of the publicly-facing preaching really deals with more grounded concepts about history, fiqh, the importance of the Imams and Da’is, remembrance of Hussain, etc. while the more esoteric aspects of philosophy are covered in higher learning and rarely fleshed out in preaching. It’s not wholly inaccessible, but to get to the guided study of those texts one must go through the guided study of more basic texts first (like Nauman’s Daim al Islam), which means that a full understanding of Bohra esotericism requires a whole lot of time and effort.

    Finally, someone addresses the mysteries of our Bohra faith! I just feel like we are a secretive culture, and need to be more extroverted as a whole. We have achieved much, but have been separated from the world because of the lack of trust we have in outsiders, as we have always been on edge, subject to violence and genocide. We went from an aggressive, but secular martial culture to a pacifist and trade-oriented one, and need to look into the future and better adapt to the world that we live in, as it is forever changing. These are words coming from a Dawoodi Bohra currently studying in Dernmark.

      @@corsaircaruso471 Tolkien was himself largely interested in theology and he actually wrote theological treateses/mystical stories about Middle Earth that can be found for example in the Silmarilion. Of course it is a question to what extent this reflects for example his personal beliefs but in principle it looks like this: In the begining there was one god, the Eru which means "the one" that creates beings of light called Ainur for him to sing and glorify him. Those beings then sing heavenly music that becomes the source of all creation. One of the Ainur stands in confrontation to the others as a solo voice and that is the greatest of them, Melkor. Melkor's individualism makes the music more beautiful but it also makes Melkor believe that he is better than the others which later corrupts him. When the music is finished Eru sends out the Ainur to create the world for his children, the Elves and the Men and the Ainur gain physical bodies from their creation which reflects their nature becoming Valar. Because the nature of Melkor is now evil he becomes a being of fire and ice, the great enemy, Morgoth. Thus the history of the world is the struggle between the Valar (there are also less powerful beings called Maiar) and the Morgoth that ends in great judgement where the song and the creation become one again and beings such as Balrogs, Sauron or Gandalf are actually light-created angels that gained bodies that reflected their nature.
      I hope this has told you something more about Tolkienology.

    I've been binging your videos. This is such a great resource. I'd be really interested in an analysis of how these schisms have been changed by increased communication and intra-region migration today. I grew up in a church denomination in the rural southeast that traditionally had highly polemical views towards basically all other Christian denominations, but movement of people around the states and telecommunications today in some ways brings that denomination a lot closer to broader American evangelical thought. I'd imagine theres a ton of similarly interesting dynamics happening throughout the whole of humanity right now.

    The religiosity and dedication of the Sulaymanis is unparalleled in all of Saudi Arabia.

    There are other groups as well which have split off from the mainstream Dawoodi Bohras, such as the Hebtiahs Bohras, Atba-i-Malak, and the Qutbi Bohras.
    Additionally, the Alavi Bohras have opened their library to scholars recently.

    I find it interesting how for all the reverence Muslims have for Muhammad that same respect is not translated as much to his family and descendants.
    After his death we see dramas of how the ruling Islamic class do what ever is possible to prevent a direct member of Muhammads family from ever gaining a position of high authority even before Shia Islam became a thing.
    The story of Ali baffles me By all right and qualifications the caliphate should have been his and I’m not even a Muslim and I can see the merits he was the first male convert a direct member of Muhammads family through blood/ marriage in addition to his humility and his piety made his a excellent candidate yet he was actively denied.
    Another episode that just astounded me was the massacre of Hussein the direct grandson of Muhammad was murdered for trying to claim his brith right and only the Shias seem to have a issue with this not the Sunnis.
    Or to use a more modern example the house of Saud booting the Hashemites out of Mecca and the Hejaz. The literal tribe of Muhammad the founder of Islam who as one of his last will and testament gave his family control of Mecca and the Kabba forever was just forced at gun and sword point to leave their ancestral lands to the Saudis who claim to be devote Muslims.
    I know I left out missing details but can some one make sense of that.
