kiayehi do intellectuals hn is forum pr

Re: Godh bharai

No. KKF started this sharai ghair sharai discussion in detail and ninja agreed with him by liking his post, so they both are required to explain whats ghair sharai in Godh Bharai rasam as followed in Muslim families.

Re: Godh bharai

Oh Kay ! We have a version of that down south. Dunno what all the fuss is about. Just sounds like a desi version of baby shower :)

Re: Godh bharai

Bhai please ask any family who celebrates these rasams to shun these rasam for just time..............:D

and they will respond as it is fard to perform these rasams.............:D

and thats why they are gair-sharai in my humble opinion....

Re: Godh bharai

I don't know how religiously this rasm is followed, because in Sindh we don't have this rasm :)

Re: Godh bharai

We have had this rasam followed in my house twice one at the time of bhabi and then for my wife.
but its simply putting some fruits in the goud of to-be-mother and then my mother prayed that may ALLAH give us naik and lmbi umer wali aulad.

I think nothing gair sharai in it.

Re: Godh bharai

Yes, nothing ghair shari in it. Don’t hear Mulla Brigade :hoonh:

Re: Godh bharai

Yeah and many people's bussiness depend on this:)

Re: Godh bharai

Pundit business :)

Re: Godh bharai

Do sindhis have any version of baby shower ? It can be social also not religious. Even in south, people of all religions do something similar to Godh bharai. Most r religious, some r just social gatherings. Depends on families.

Godh bharai

Muqawwee bhai this rasam is popular in Sindh..widely practised among sindhis than any other cast..
I may get bashed for saying this but IMO any rasam(which people think they MUST follow) that is not mentioned in the quran or hadith is unislamic..the only reason molvis stop these rasoomat is cause people have started to think these are obligatory..and for some it becomes a burden to follow them( same goes for mehndi/mayuun etc)
Now im not judging anyone since everyone has the right to follow what pleases him..this is just my opinion..
Since the ulema say that following the traditions of nonmuslims is wrong..muslims have their own identity and islam is complete code of life..
This doesnt mean I dont celebrate nonmuslim traditions:snooty:

Re: Godh bharai

I didn't observe that in my close circle.

Re: Godh bharai

oh :teggy: calling my sister to confirm.

May be the women perform that rasm it in privacy because I never ever observed such rasm in my family, relatives and people I know. May be Ekta Kapoor made it popularised :slight_smile:

Godh bharai

Haha its a must in my family(esp maternal family) and mo ekta to bad mai ayi all the bari burhis followed it religiously:cb:

Re: Godh bharai

My sister says that it was traditionally called ‘TailaaRo - tail lagana’. The rasm was performed shortly after the news of pregnancy or after 6-7 months, when badi booRhiyan (must be suhagan) used to oil the would-be mother. Normally, after TailaRo, the would-be mother was then shifted to her maika for 2-3 days.

God bharai is becoming popular in star plus affected khwateen :slight_smile:

Godh bharai

Hehe worst part is that all these aunties put oil in the mother’s bellybutton:cb: i thought godh bharai and tailaro is the same no? :konfused:

Re: Godh bharai

Its kinda same, except they don’t put fruits in mothers lap. The concept for gathering and praying for would-be mother and child is very much there

Re: Godh bharai

It was my sister's Godh bhrai two days ago.My mum bought 7 types of dry fruits,7 types of fresh fruits, one box of methai,one suit,mehndi,choorian, and a flower bouquet for her .We went there, gave her everything , everyone was there , did dua for her and for the baby, had dinner and that's all about it. I think , there is nothing haram or wrong in it , it was every simple. May be, few people do extra stuff that's why its known a bad idea to do this ritual.Also, I saw my sister was happy to see all this and I think it encourages the lady who is going to be a mother. Female don't deserve to go through sufferings and pains during pregnancy, make her feel she is going to be a mother by bringing smile on her face and these little things count a lot.
