Who are the Dawoodi Bohras?** The Dawoodi Bohras are a (mainly)
Gujarati speaking Shiite Muslim sect, following the Fatimid school of jurisprudence.
The Daudi (used interchangeably with Dawoodi) Bohras trace their ancestry to
early conversions to Ismaili Shiism during the reign of the Fatimid
caliph-Imam, al-Mustansir (AS) (AH 427-487/1036-1094 AD). When schisms
occurred in the Ismaili dawah (mission) in the eleventh and twelfth centuries
in Egypt, the Ismailis in India followed the Fatimid Tayyibi dawah of Yemen.
Subsequently, this community split a number of times, due to differences in followers over
the successions to the post of dai-al-mutlaq (absolute summoner). The Daudi Bohras,
named after their 27th Dai, Syedna Daud ibn Qutubshah (AD.1612), now pay allegiance to the
leadership of His Holiness, Dr. Syedna Muhammad Burhanuddin
(TUS), the 52nd Dai. The dai-al-mutlaq operates as the sole representative of the
secluded Ismaili Imam Useful Links to know more: If you are a Dawoodi Bohra or your page is affiliated to any Dawoodi Bohra Organisation, Sign In Now! |
