O mankind! Indeed We created you from a male and a female, and made you nations and tribes that you may get mutually acquainted. Indeed the most honorable of you in the sight of Allah is the most God wary among you. Indeed Allah is all-knowing, all-aware

Qur’an 49:13

KhojaPedia is an online encyclopedia encompassing socio-religious entity of the Khoja Shia Ithna ‘Ashari Muslim community. It is all about documenting and stabilizing the rich heritage of spiritual migration from one faith to other by maintaining the spirit of unity and organization.

It stands on the principle of unbiased and genuine research through reliable sources. One would feel the essence of faith, sacrifice, journey, dedication, culture, heritage, identity and unity in this project.

It is a step forward to impart the legacy of the ancestors to the youths of the community, specifically and in in general to the wider global community.

Predominantly it focuses on Shia Ithna ‘Ashari community but in case of relevancy it will consider other Khoja communities as well. This place would serve as a virtual nation for Khojas appreciating the endeavors of ancestors, acknowledging current struggle and aiming for a converging vision for the upcoming generation.

He was sent a notice threatening court action. When the news reached Jivraj Khatau, he became very angry and told the firm’s German representative: “Walji Bhanji is my brother.” Later that day the notice was torn up by the German in Jivraj’s office. The Germans knew if they didn’t take the notice back all business dealings between Dharamsi Khatau & Co. and Messrs. Hansing & Co. would stop. You see, that’s how it used to be in the old days.

My grandfather Dharamsi Khatau was born in Nagalpur, Kutch in 1865. He had four brothers Jivraj Khatau, Manji Khatau, Kassim Khatau and Killu Khatau. Yes it’s the same “shaheed” Killu Khatau, the student of Mulla Qader Husayn who was martyred in Bombay. After the death of Killu in 1878, my grandfather left Bombay in 1880 with his father and mother along with the wife of Killu Khatau and Killu’s daughters. The journey to Mombasa by dhow took about a month. On the way Khatau Nanjani, my great-grandfather saddened by the death of Killu passed away. He was lowered into the sea with full honours.

The Plaintiff of the case were Daya Mahomad, Mahomad Saya, Peer Mahomad Kassim and Fazal Ghulam Hussain with H.M's Advocate General as nominal complainant. The Defendants were the Aga Khan I, Mukhi Alarakhia Sumar, Kamadia Khaki Padamsi, Mahomad Peer Bhai, Nur Mahomad Rajpal, Ali Bhai Jan, Habib Ibrahim, Muraj Premji, Dharamsi Punja, Aasu Gangji, Dossa Ladak, Nanji Alloo and Mahomad Yousuf Murgay, Qadi of the Mahomadans of the Town and island of Bombay.

Lamu

Lamu and Aga Khani Ismailis: The Ismailis in Lamu in the 1930’s I remember are Velji Khatau, Mohan Amersi and his brother Remtulla (Remu) Amersi and Lalji Rajan.

Lamu and Arabs: Among Arabs I remember Shaykh Mohammed Maa’wy who had mango shambas, Salim Ahmed Basaida who worked with Smith Mackenzie, Hussein Shamuti, Abdalla Bathes and Mr. Yahya who was the only man in Lamu with a horse. He used to ride it on the main street along the sea shore.

Lamu and Bohras: There were many Bohras. T.M.Jeevanjee had the biggest dhow in Lamu called “Queen Mary”. The dhow sank on its first trip to Kismayu loaded with boriti. Other Bohras were Ibrahimji Moosajee, Amijee Ismailjee, Sadiqali Nurbhai, Gulamhussein Nurbhai, Pirbhai Nurbhai, Gulamhussein Daya, Hassanali Zahabu who used to sell gold, Ismail Kichwa, Alibhai Mauritiuswalla who had a big building in Lamu and Gulamhussein “Belwed” who was lame and moved about on one foot.

Lamu and Hindus: The old Hindus were Jevant Dossa, Vallabhdas Valji who was a Bhattia and his brother Morarji Valji. They would burn their dead in Kitau opposite Shela.

Lamu and Pardah:

Lamu and Parsis: The Parsis I remember in Lamu were the two sons of Cowasjee Nowrojee Dastur, Keki and his brother Homi.

Lamu and Sunnis: Among the Sunni community I remember Haji Mohammed Karim Khatri and his brother Haji Gulmohammed Karim Khatri. There were two barber shops in Lamu, the oldest being Sidik Ahmed’s and the other one was Hasham’s.

Lamu Imambara:

Lamu Jamat: The chairmen of the jamat in those days were Jaffer Panju, Hassan Walji, Molu Ramji and his brother Walji Ramji. Molu Ramji used to bring grain and other cargo from Mombasa and would export boriti (mangrove poles).

Lamu Mullas: local mullas were Mulla Jafferali Alibhai, Mulla Vallimohamed Merali Dewji, Mulla Mohammedali Nanji and Mulla Nanji Bhanji, who was a very old man at the time. The mullas would give waez and majlis in the imambara upstairs from the wooden minbar. Later on we used to have alims coming from outside Lamu. They would stay in the madrasa at the top which was converted into a guesthouse when there weren’t any children left.

Luhana: Luhanasa re from Rathod family. Rathod were called Thakor and then it became Thakkar.

Majlises were held there in the small building (now in ruins) with barazas outside. This building was built during the time of Molu Ramji. The oldest graves you can see in the Lamu Chungani today are of Daya Kanji, Damji Ramji, Molu Ramji, Walji Ramji, Alibhai Panju and Jaffer Panju.

Mwalimu Yusufu and Mwalimu Faraj used to teach the students Quran in the madrasa.

The purdah was strictly enforced in those days in Lamu. There was a wall with a wooden door in the middle of the imambara that was always closed. Next to the door was a window like the one in our mosque in Zanzibar. During niyyaz which was always at lunch time if the ladies needed anything extra they used to tap the window’s sill.

There was no electricity in the mosque; we had to use kerosene lamps. The imambara was upstairs. There were two ways of going up to the imambara; one way was from the bazaar and this was used by the ladies and the other was from the sea shore which was used by gents. Two staircases were built on either side.

Macfarlance: In 1962 he fought in the court in the favour of the reformist saying that Khojas were Sunnis from the beginning and Aga Khan was the person who turned them to Shias and the court failed to give any verdict and eventually it went to Supreme Court…….Mr Veral was fighting in the favour of adherents of Aga Khan and his clients were Allarukhya Soomar and Khakee Pudumsey

In that 'Mela' Haji Naji was also invited. Jetha Gokal's wife's name was Mongi Bai who also became Shia Ishanashri but her parental family remained Agakhani.

One such meeting place was Mehfile Muhibbane Husein on Mtendeni run by the Ismailis (not yet converted to Ithnashris) where they were joined by the converts Ithnashris. Hence the name Mehfile Private given to it. There were also institutions like Nasser Nurmohamed dispensary which was meant for both the Khoja sects, Ithnashris as well as Ismailis. Conversion was a gradual process. The converts did not become Ithnashris at a go. It lasted from 1881 to 1930. Even thereafter, conversion to a small extent continued.

This year, The World Federation established an outpost (known in Arabic as a ‘mawkib’) on the Najaf to Karbala walk route. The out-post located at position number 1086, offered the following services: Rest and recuperation, Overnight sleeping facilities, Food and drink, Medical facilities

Waljee Hirjee: Khoja settlement in Mombasa dates to 1867 when Waljee Hirjee a prominent Khoja Ismaili merchant of Zanzibar opened a shop at the Old Port.

Walji Bhanji: Walji Bhanji was born in Kutch in 1869. He had two brothers Khaku Bhanji and Karim Bhanji. After Khaku’s death, Walji Bhanji married his brother’s wife Kaiserbai and raised his brother’s children Suleman Khaku and Bachibai. Kaiserbai bore him two sons Alibhai and Valimohammed. He stayed with Ladha Kanji and opened a small shop selling matches and tobacco. In 1899 he decided to go to Nairobi. He travelled by train to Voi and then by donkey to Nairobi. Very quickly Walji Bhanji was able to establish a successful import-export firm. The firm grew to almost sixty branches across East Africa. There was even a branch in Nakuru opened in 1902 and supervised by Karim Bux.

Walji Bhanji’s luck ran out. The Great Depression hit Africa – and Walji Bhanji lost a lot of currency, German marks. Smith Mackenzie advanced him a large sum to purchase the cotton crop. Locusts devoured the entire crop. In 1932 he was declared bankrupt. All Walji Bhanji’s properties were put up for sale. Datoo came to auction them. For three days after the auction Walji Bhanji never left the house, his big house by the Old Port. On the third day, there in that house he died.

There was a time when Walji Bhanji was so famous amongst the Africans that they were singing songs about him as they pushed the handcarts bringing cotton and ivory to the depots. At first the family lived in Walji Bhanji’s buildings on Old Killindini Rd but later Walji Bhanji acquired the big house (Leven House) near the stairs by the Old Port and the whole family lived there. The ground floor was the head office with all the accountants and everybody. On the top floor Suleman lived with his family.

-Jivraj Khatau: There is an interesting incident that my father told me about Jivraj Khatau. One day Walji Bhanji was delayed in paying for goods bought from the German firm Messrs.Hansing & Co. He was sent a notice threatening court action. When the news reached Jivraj Khatau, he became very angry and told the firm’s German representative: “Walji Bhanji is my brother.” Later that day the notice was torn up by the German in Jivraj’s office. The Germans knew if they didn’t take the notice back all business dealings between Dharamsi Khatau & Co. and Messrs. Hansing & Co. would stop. You see, that’s how it used to be in the old days.

-My grandfather Dharamsi Khatau was born in Nagalpur, Kutch in 1865. He had four brothers Jivraj Khatau, Manji Khatau, Kassim Khatau and Killu Khatau. Yes it’s the same “shaheed” Killu Khatau, the student of Mulla Qader Husayn who was martyred in Bombay. After the death of Killu in 1878, my grandfather left Bombay in 1880 with his father and mother along with the wife of Killu Khatau and Killu’s daughters. The journey to Mombasa by dhow took about a month. On the way Khatau Nanjani, my great-grandfather saddened by the death of Killu passed away. He was lowered into the sea with full honours.

 Lamu
 Lamu and Aga Khani Ismailis: The Ismailis in Lamu in the 1930’s I remember are Velji Khatau, Mohan Amersi and his brother Remtulla (Remu) Amersi and Lalji Rajan.
 Lamu and Arabs: Among Arabs I remember Shaykh Mohammed Maa’wy who had mango shambas, Salim Ahmed Basaida who worked with Smith Mackenzie, Hussein Shamuti, Abdalla Bathes and Mr. Yahya who was the only man in Lamu with a horse. He used to ride it on the main street along the sea shore.
-Lamu and Bohras: There were many Bohras. T.M.Jeevanjee had the biggest dhow in Lamu called “Queen Mary”. The dhow sank on its first trip to Kismayu loaded with boriti. Other Bohras were Ibrahimji Moosajee, Amijee Ismailjee, Sadiqali Nurbhai, Gulamhussein Nurbhai, Pirbhai Nurbhai, Gulamhussein Daya, Hassanali Zahabu who used to sell gold, Ismail Kichwa, Alibhai Mauritiuswalla who had a big building in Lamu and Gulamhussein “Belwed” who was lame and moved about on one foot.

 Lamu and Hindus: The old Hindus were Jevant Dossa, Vallabhdas Valji who was a Bhattia and his brother Morarji Valji. They would burn their dead in Kitau opposite Shela.
 Lamu and Pardah:
 Lamu and Parsis: The Parsis I remember in Lamu were the two sons of Cowasjee Nowrojee Dastur, Keki and his brother Homi.
 Lamu and Sunnis: Among the Sunni community I remember Haji Mohammed Karim Khatri and his brother Haji Gulmohammed Karim Khatri. There were two barber shops in Lamu, the oldest being Sidik Ahmed’s and the other one was Hasham’s.
 Lamu Imambara:
 Lamu Jamat: The chairmen of the jamat in those days were Jaffer Panju, Hassan Walji, Molu Ramji and his brother Walji Ramji. Molu Ramji used to bring grain and other cargo from Mombasa and would export boriti (mangrove poles).
-Lamu Mullas: local mullas were Mulla Jafferali Alibhai, Mulla Vallimohamed Merali Dewji, Mulla Mohammedali Nanji and Mulla Nanji Bhanji, who was a very old man at the time. The mullas would give waez and majlis in the imambara upstairs from the wooden minbar. Later on we used to have alims coming from outside Lamu. They would stay in the madrasa at the top which was converted into a guesthouse when there weren’t any children left.

 Luhana: Luhanasa re from Rathod family. Rathod were called Thakor and then it became Thakkar.
 Majlises were held there in the small building (now in ruins) with barazas outside. This building was built during the time of Molu Ramji. The oldest graves you can see in the Lamu Chungani today are of Daya Kanji, Damji Ramji, Molu Ramji, Walji Ramji, Alibhai Panju and Jaffer Panju.
 Mwalimu Yusufu and Mwalimu Faraj used to teach the students Quran in the madrasa.
-The purdah was strictly enforced in those days in Lamu. There was a wall with a wooden door in the middle of the imambara that was always closed. Next to the door was a window like the one in our mosque in Zanzibar. During niyyaz which was always at lunch time if the ladies needed anything extra they used to tap the window’s sill.

 There was no electricity in the mosque; we had to use kerosene lamps. The imambara was upstairs. There were two ways of going up to the imambara; one way was from the bazaar and this was used by the ladies and the other was from the sea shore which was used by gents. Two staircases were built on either side.
 Macfarlance: In 1962 he fought in the court in the favour of the reformist saying that Khojas were Sunnis from the beginning and Aga Khan was the person who turned them to Shias and the court failed to give any verdict and eventually it went to Supreme Court…….Mr Veral was fighting in the favour of adherents of Aga Khan and his clients were Allarukhya Soomar and Khakee Pudumsey

-Mela of Jamnagar: 1905 In early twentieth century, around 1905/1910, Jetha Gokal called a great 'Mela' in Jamnagar and invited all Shia Ishanashri people because they had just changed their religion from Agakhani due to their studies and the efforts of Haji Ghulamali/Haji Naji (a prolific Shia writer and founder of Rahe Najat). In that 'Mela' Haji Naji was also invited. Jetha Gokal's wife's name was Mongi Bai who also became Shia Ishanashri but her parental family remained Agakhani.

-One such meeting place was Mehfile Muhibbane Husein on Mtendeni run by the Ismailis (not yet converted to Ithnashris) where they were joined by the converts Ithnashris. Hence the name Mehfile Private given to it. There were also institutions like Nasser Nurmohamed dispensary  which was meant for both the Khoja sects, Ithnashris as well as Ismailis. Conversion was a gradual process. The converts did not become Ithnashris at a go. It lasted from 1881 to 1930. Even thereafter, conversion to a small extent continued.

 Waljee Hirjee: Khoja settlement in Mombasa dates to 1867 when Waljee Hirjee a prominent Khoja Ismaili merchant of Zanzibar opened a shop at the Old Port.
-Walji Bhanji: Walji Bhanji was born in Kutch in 1869. He had two brothers Khaku Bhanji and Karim Bhanji. After Khaku’s death, Walji Bhanji married his brother’s wife Kaiserbai and raised his brother’s children Suleman Khaku and Bachibai. Kaiserbai bore him two sons Alibhai and Valimohammed. He stayed with Ladha Kanji and opened a small shop selling matches and tobacco. In 1899 he decided to go to Nairobi. He travelled by train to Voi and then by donkey to Nairobi. Very quickly Walji Bhanji was able to establish a successful import-export firm. The firm grew to almost sixty branches across East Africa. There was even a branch in Nakuru opened in 1902 and supervised by Karim Bux.
-Walji Bhanji’s luck ran out. The Great Depression hit Africa – and Walji Bhanji lost a lot of currency, German marks. Smith Mackenzie advanced him a large sum to purchase the cotton crop.
