    ʿAshara Mubaraka AH 1440 Majlis 7 English Reflections On the 8th of Muharram al-Haraam we were blessed with the barakat of three Du’at Mutlaqeen in the day of ʿAshara Mubaraka dedicated to Amirul Mumineen AS. Al-Dai al-Ajal Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA invoked Imam Husain AS to intercede for those who have yet to be blessed with children. Zakariyyah Nabi AS was instructed to fast on the second of Muharram and by the intercession of barakat of Imam Husain, Allah Taʿala answered his prayer for a child. Syedna Saifuddin RA recalled that his father Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA also fasted on this day and was bless with children at a late age. In the brief bayan mubarak we had the honour of listening to, Maulana al-Muqaddas RA directed us to always remember one thing: remain true to your dai. We were then blessed with the waʿaz mubarak delivered by Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA 33 years ago in Indore affront a gathering of nearly 1,20,000 at the same location where al-Dai al-Ajal Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS addresses us today. In his waʿaz mubarak, Syedna al-Muqaddas explained that Imam Husain AS chose to sacrifice his life in order to preserve truth, to preserve the faith. In this context Maulana Burhanuddin RA counselled Mumineen to always be truthful, to continuously remember Husain AS as do people of other communities who even take vows in his name. We should stay true to the Shariah, prayer and fasting and be brotherly both with Mumineen and with people of other beliefs.

  • Of the 53Rd Dai Al- Mutlaq Syedna Khuzaima Qutbuddin RA on the 23Rd Jamadil Ukhra in USA, California
    To Allah we belong and to Him we return It is with deep sorrow that we inform Mumineen of the wafaat (demise) of the 53rd Dai al- Mutlaq Syedna Khuzaima Qutbuddin RA on the 23rd Jamadil Ukhra in USA, California. Our beloved father has passed away to the highest echelons of jannat in the fellowship of Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA and Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA in hazrat of Imam-uz- zamaan SA. Syedna Qutbuddin RA has left in our midst his successor, his Shehzada to whom Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA gave the name Taher, the Mubarak name of Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA. Syedna Qutbuddin RA personally prepared his beloved son and made him like him in knowledge and character. This year on the 27th of Muharram, the urus Mubarak of Syedi Fakhruddin Shaheed RA, Syedna Qutbuddin RA appointed Syedna Taher as his successor and granted him the laqab Fakhruddin. At that moment Maulana Qutbuddin advised the witnesses to keep the Nass confidential and gave the witnesses the handwritten letter of Nass. Syedna Abu Khuzaima Taher Fakhruddin TUS is the 54th Dai al-Mutlaq and the representative of Imamuz-Zaman Tayyibul-Asri wal-Awaan SA. The succession of Du’aat Mutlaqeen continues.

May we swear our allegiance and misaaq to the Dai al-Haqq and board the ark of salvation, the safinatun-najaat. In this difficult time, Aqamaula TUS advises all Mumineen to recite Quran Majeed on the niyyat of our Dai, our compassionate father, Syedna Khuzaima Qutbuddin RA.

  • Court Battle Lays Bare I...Tly Family
    5/3/2015 Court battle lays bare inner intrigues of Bohras' priestly family - Rediff.com Print this article Court battle lays bare inner intrigues of Bohras' priestly family Last updated on: April 30, 2015 15:06 IST The uncle versus nephew fight for the spiritual leadership of the Dawoodi Bohras enters the court­room, spilling family secrets and exposing the divide in the community. Jyoti Punwani reports. Jealousy and intrigue, attacks and assassination attempts ­­ the closed and highly exclusive world of the powerful ruling priestly family of the Dawoodi Bohras lay exposed on Tuesday in a Mumbai courtroom, reminding one of the intrigues of the Mughal empire. The Bombay high court’s majestic Central Court where Lokmanya Tilak had argued for Swarajya, formed a fitting backdrop to the story which unfolded during the cross­examination of Khuzaima Qutbuddin, (image, left), the 74­year­old brother of the late Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin, the 52nd Dai or spiritual head of the Dawood Bohra community. The cross­ examination was conducted by Iqbal Chagla. The Syedna died on January 17, 2014, and his son Mufaddal Saifuddin took over as the next Syedna. Qutbuddin has challenged this ascension, claiming that he himself is entitled to that position. While he admitted that none of his 12 brothers and eight sisters, all children of the 51st Dai, had acknowledged openly his claim of being the successor to Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin, Qutbuddin maintained that he had been conferred the nass (ie, officially anointed) by the former on December 10, 1965 ­­ in secret. He was the only witness to this, he said.

  • ʿashara Mubaraka AH 1440 Majlis 1 English Reflections As Has Become Tradition Over the Past Few Years, Al-Dai Al-Ajal Syedn
    ʿAshara Mubaraka AH 1440 Majlis 1 English Reflections As has become tradition over the past few years, al-Dai al-Ajal Syedna Aali Qadr Mufaddal Saifuddin TUS announced in today’s waʿaz mubarak the central theme of this year’s ʿAshara Mubaraka, which is to be inspired by and related to the land of Yemen. In particular, each day’s waʿaz mubarak will be based on a town visited by al-Dai al-Ajal Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin RA during his historic visit to Yemen in AH 1381 after which his father al-Dai al- Ajal Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA conferred upon him the title of Mansoor al-Yemen. The first city Syedna al-Muqaddas Mansoor al-Yemen RA visited during his historic visit to Yemen was the city of Zi Jibla, the resting place of Maulatuna Hurra al-Malika RA. With Syedna al-Muqaddas’ lodging in Ib, a close-by city, he travelled to Zi Jibla every morning returning to Ib in the night. Every day Syedna Burhanuddin RA sought blessings with Maulatuna Hurra al-Malika’s RA ziyarat and by leading namaz in her masjid. While in Jibla, Syedna al-Muqaddas RA met with the people of the city, distributed sweetmeats amongst the children of a school and attended a gathering held in his honour. Jibla was once the capital of the Sulayhi kingdom during Maulatuna Hurra al-Malika’s RA reign. This was brought about by her own request to her husband, al-Malik al-Mukarram, Syedna Ali b. Mohammed al-Sulayhi’s son. She suggested that the capital of the kingdom be shifted from Sana’a to Zi Jibla for its strategic, central location in the Sulayhi territories and its temperate climate.

  • The Dāʾūdī Bohras (Mustaʿlī Ismāʿīlī Shīʿa) Using Modernity to Institutionalise a Fāṭimid Tradition
    Chapter 11 The Dāʾūdī Bohras (Mustaʿlī Ismāʿīlī Shīʿa) Using Modernity to Institutionalise a Fāṭimid Tradition Jonah Blank 1 Introduction The Dāʾūdī (or Dawoodi) Bohras, a community numbering substantially over one million worldwide, represent one of the two branches of Ismāʿīlī Shīʿism to survive into the modern era. Mustaʿlī Ṭayyibī Ismāʿīlīs (as they are described in denominational terms) are the spiritual descendants of Egypt’s renowned Fāṭimid Caliphate. Unlike the Nizārī Ismāʿīlīs (who believe that the line of imāms continued through the succession of clerics bearing the title Aga Khan), the Mustaʿlīs believe that the last Fāṭimid caliph was the twenty- second and final present imām (Abū l-Qāsim Ṭayyib). Since the sixth century AH/twelfth century CE, both spiritual and temporal leadership of the commu- nity has rested in a line of clerics bearing the title of Dāʿī al-muṭlaq, seated first in Yemen and since the tenth/sixteenth century in the Indian states of Gujarat and Maharashtra. Over the past four decades, the Dāʾūdī Bohra clergy has attempted, with great success, to establish a communal identity that is at once universally Islamic and unique to the denomination. It has done so not by rejecting modern or Western ideas and technologies, but by enthusiasti- cally embracing many of them: in this sense, the Bohras have used ‘moder- nity’ as a tool to reinvigorate and reinstitutionalise their core traditions.1 Thus, the Dāʾūdī Bohras demonstrate the resilience and ideological adaptability of Shīʿa Islam. The name ‘Bohra’ is generally presumed to be derived from the Gujarati verb vohrvun (‘to trade’), reflecting the occupation of the overwhelming majority of Bohras throughout their history.
