Majlis 63: "How did the Sulaymani faction split off from haqq? (Part 2)" - Syedna Taher Fakhruddin TUS

In the previous Majlis, Syedna Taher Fakhruddin TUS explained that in the time of the 27th Dai al-Mutlaq Syedna Dawood bin Qutubshah Burhanuddin RA, the Sulaymani faction were led astray by the false claimant Sulayman bin Hasan, the grandson of the 24th Dai. In this Majlis Syedna TUS continues to address the split of the Sulaymani faction.

Sulayman was in Yemen when he falsely claimed the Daiship. What are the events that transpired after he arrived in India from Yemen? Who were those people from the household of the 26th Dai who followed Sulayman? Why did they do so? How did Syedna Dawood RA establish his rightful claim?

What are the lessons that we can learn from understanding the history of Sulayman’s fitnat?

How could the family of the 52nd Dai revolt? What has Syedna Burhanuddin RA said about the veracity of all Mazoons?

Syedna TUS answers these questions in this Majlis, the 63rd in the Majalis al Hikma series. In the next Majlis, Syedna TUS will speak about Syedna Dawood RA’s victory in the Mughal Emperor Akbar’s court.
