Affiliates
The Dawoodi Bohras are a sect within the Ismaili branch of Shia Islam, and they have affiliate Jamaats (local communities) in various parts of the world. These Jamaats are usually organized around a mosque or community center, and they serve as the primary social and religious organization for Bohras in a particular area.
The Dawoodi Bohra community has a strong emphasis on community service and social welfare, and the Jamaats play an important role in facilitating these activities. They organize a wide range of programs and events, including religious ceremonies, educational activities, charitable initiatives, and cultural festivals.
Some of the key functions of the Jamaats include maintaining the local mosque or community center, organizing religious and cultural events, providing education and support for community members, and managing charitable activities and initiatives. They also serve as a platform for community members to come together and support each other, both socially and spiritually.
Overall, the affiliate Jamaats of the Dawoodi Bohras play a vital role in the community, providing a sense of belonging, support, and guidance for its members, and helping to promote the values of service, compassion, and social responsibility.
