  Introduction:
 

Dr. Haatim Zakiyuddin-the 45th Saiyedna of Alavi Bohras and Naa'ib-representative, vicar, legatee and deputy of the progeny of 21st Fatimid Isma'ili Imaam Abul Qaasim at-Taiyeb during the time of his Concealment from Cairo in 528 AH/1132 AD which is called Daur us Satr. He is on the noble rank of Da'i al-Mutlaq or ad-Da'i ul-Mutlaq or Da'i-e-Mutlaq enjoying the absolute spiritual and temporal authority under the secreted guidance of the Imaam of Time. Anyone who gives him Oath of Allegiance and Covenant on the name of Imaam at-Taiyeb then only he is regarded the member of Alavi Bohra Community. Saiyedna's words, commands and guidance is regarded that of Imaam and likewise of Muhammad and Allaah. Believers hold him in high esteem as his life is based on the holy life of Imaam (progeny of Wasi), Wasi (legatee of Nabi) and Nabi (prophet with divine decree and powers).

Saiyedi Noohji bin Mohammadji was a very close associate and assembly member of Da'wat e Haadiyah during the time of 31st Da'i al-Mutlaq Saiyedna Hasan Badruddin (d. 1090 AH/1679 AD) in Ahmedabad. He was a pious and learned man and pure-heartedly served the mission. Looking to his sincere service and nobility Saiyedna Hasan Badruddin said to him that, " Allaah will bless you with the bounty of noble children who will become the stars of my Da'wat." This wise words of Saiyedna came with the glad-tidings as he was blessed with the son named "Jivabhai".

Saiyedna Hasan Badruddin himself gave the primary religious and other necessary education and learning to Jivabhai and due to his cleverness and wisdom at a very tender age he memorized the Qur'an. Saiyedna saheb gave him special sessions and imparted him deep understanding of Islamic Principles and Isma'ili Tenets. To reward Saiyedi Noohji for his service and to establish the right rank of Jivabhai among other Ashaab (associates) due to his sincerity and knowledge, Saiyedna saheb bestowed Jivabhai with the honorific title of "Ziyauddin" - the light of religion and ascended him on the high rank of Da'i ul-Mutlaq.

Saiyedna Jivabhai Ziyauddin became the 32nd Da'i al-Mutlaq and he migrated from Ahmedabad to Vadodara in 1110 AH/1698 AH and established his Da'wat in the area called Miya Mahmood Wadi on the outskirts of the Walled city of Vadodara. Saiyedna Hasan Badruddin's grace was so much on Saiyedna Jivabhai Ziyauddin that not only he but in his progeny 12 saheb reached on the holy throne of Da'i al-Mutlaq during the period (1090-1438 AH/1679-2017 AD). The present Da'i Abu Sa'eed il-Khayr Dr. Haatim Zakiyuddin Saheb (tus) or Saiyedna saheb is the 12th Saheb of Aal-e-Jivabhai.

   
   
 

Mission (Da'wat) and Community:

 

The present 45th Da’i al-Mutlaq or Da'i uz-Zamaan (the da'i of the present time) i.e. the representative (naa'ib) of Imaam uz-Zamaan (the imaam in the progeny of Imaam Taiyeb), Haatim ul-Khayraat, Rabi' ul-Barakaat Saiyedna Abu Sa'eed il-Khayr Dr. Haatim Zakiyuddin Saheb (tus) has continued his predecessor's endeavors with particular emphasis on strengthening the community's relationship with other community leadership and by following Islamic practices by promoting and spreading awareness about the Fatimid identity and Isma'ili legacy.

His birthplace is Badri Mohalla, Vadodara his birth date falls on 8th Rabi' ul-Awwal 1379 AH/10 September 1959 AD, Thursday. Under the graceful hands of his grandfather, the 43rd Da'i ul Mutlaq Saiyedna Yusuf Nuruddin saheb (d. 1394 AH) and Mukaasir ud Da'wat Nazarali Bhaisaheb Najmuddin saheb (d. 1397 AH), he completed his formal religious education and then took special sessions of 'Uloom e Da'wat. For graduation and post-graduation he stayed in Mumbai for 5 years (1979-1984 AD) studying Arabic Language and Literature with Islamic Studies in Mumbai University. During his stay in Mumbai, he did all things possible to enrich the library of Da'wah Shareefah by acquiring Isma'ili-Taiyebi MSS and rare Islamic books. He did tarbiyat and Taiyebi upbringing of Mumbai mumineen on the morals of Ahl ul Bayt (as) by fulfilling the responsibilities of Moharram and Shahrullaah.

During the Da’iship of his father, the 44th Da'i, Saiyedna Taiyeb Ziyauddin saheb, he being Mazoon (a spiritual status after da’i) from 1984 AD, he shouldered the responsibility of educating people for the betterment of the community. Now that he is on a status of Da’i al-Mutlaq from 2015 AD, he sees to it that the 'Ilmi, Commerce and Social relations with other community members are maintained. He took very strong step and robust decision in 1423 AH/2011 AD by sending his eldest son Bhaisaheb Sa’eed ul-Khayr, who is now elevated to the status of Mazoon e Mutlaq, to Qumm, Iran for the graduation in Arabic Language and Literature. It is for the time that anyone from Qasr-e-‘Aali has travelled to the land of Iran for higher studies. It is the holy land of Du'aat who migrated to Egypt in the service of Fatimid (Faatemi) Imaam during 4th and 5th century AH. Knowing the importance of Education and this being the foundation of Da’wat ul-Haqq (divine mission), Saiyedna saheb took personal interest in educating and specializing the Abnaa (children) of Da’wat in various fields.

At present Saiyedna saheb's eldest son Sa'eed ul Khayr Bhaisaheb 'Imaaduddin saheb DM is Mazoon al-Mutlaq as well as Mansoos who was elevated on 4th Rabi' ul Aakhar 1442 AH/19th Nov 2020 AD. Saiyedna saheb's younger brother, Mohammad Bhaisaheb Nuruddin saheb DM is on the status of Mukaasir al-Mutlaq since 7th Rajab 1430 AH/29th June 2009 AD after the demise of Mukaasir al-Mutlaq Dr. Husain Mo’eenuddin on 13th Shawwaal 1429 AH/12th October 2008 AD.  The status of Ra's ul-Hudood is headed by his youngest brother Dr. Zulqarnain Bhaisaheb Hakeemuddin who was assigned this responsibility along with Mukaasir al-Mutlaq. When Saiyedna saheb did Nass-e-jali and appointed-declared his eldest son as his successor 46th Da'i al-Mutlaq, Mukaasir al-Mutlaq was awarded a unique laqab as "Siqat ud-Da'wat il-Haadiyat il-'Alaviyah" (SDHA) and Ra's ul-Hudood was awarded a special laqab as "Naasir ud-Da'wat it-Taiyebiyah" (NDT).

After becoming Mazoon al-Mutlaq and taking the charge of Alavi Library, he painstakingly copied the old Isma’ili-Taiyebi Manuscripts that has a single copy.  Some of them were worm-infested and others were damaged.  He acquired other copies from around the world and then transcribed newly the incomplete or damaged manuscripts.  This way he played pivotal role in enriching the library.  In the era of digital cameras, zerox or scanners, the tradition of transcribing old manuscripts is still alive.  He took initiative in cataloguing and digitizing the library.  He still repairs and rebinds the manuscripts.  Today foreign researchers and scholars come to the library and Saiyedna saheb readily help them in understanding the reason behind the book and its text.  Today Saiyedna saheb is considered an ultimate authority in Isma’ili-Taiyebi literature.  He prepared hundreds of notes and lectures copied or explained from the manuscripts and bring them in the majlis and elucidates from them among the believers.

On 17 Rabi' ul Awwal 1445/01 Oct 2023, Sunday, he was conferred an Honorary Doctorate for the research and studies on Islamic subjects specially on Shi'i Isma'ili literary works from al-Mustafaa International University. For this historic event Indian representative of Iranian Spiritual Leader Aghaa Mahdi Mahdawipur saheb and Indian representative of al-Mustafaa International University Aghaa Ali Shaakeri saheb graced the event. Saiyedna saheb TUS in his speech emphasized that, "Relations between India and Iran are more at the level of Religious cooperation, Human Upliftment, Literature and Culture. The Indian Isma'ili Bohra missionaries were trained by Iranian and Egyptian scholars before a millennium during the time of Fatimid rule in Cairo between 360-520 AH/970-1126 AD. These scholars were Saiyedna Naasir Khusru al-Qabaadiyani, Saiyedna Abu Haatim Ahmad ar-Raazi, Saiyedna Abu Ya'qoob Ishaaq as-Sijistaani, Saiyedna Shaheryaar bin Hasan, Saiyedna Ahmad Hamiduddin al-Kirmaani, Saiyedna Hebatullaah al-Mo'ayyad fid-Deen ash-Shiraazi, Saiyedna Ahmad bin Mohammad an-Nishaapuri RA etc."

He played a pivotal role in revamping the syllabus of Madrasah Taiyebiyah by making the learning of Lisaan ud-da’wat compulsory for all pupils. He is always there to guide and give special inserts in publishing a number of books highlighting Alavi faith and practices. The time when the website www.alavibohra.org was conceptualized in 1425 AH/2004 AD along with bi-monthly deeni newsletter "Mishkaat ul-Haadi", he took a forefront in vitalizing and providing subject matter as per the demand of time. Keeping pace with changing times and the World of Mobile Information, he envisioned the way to reach to the farest and smallest member of the community, by developing the Mobile App "Ahl uz Zikr". He eased the matrimonial related complications by making al-Vezaarat ul-'Alaviyah (the office of ad-Da’wat ul-Haadiyah) the centre of all these activities, promoted youth activities, women welfare, medical centers and camps, educational skills for teachers, higher education, literacy, trade and business etc.

He offered Hajj e Tamatto’-Pilgrimage to Makkah-Madinah along with his beloved father 44th Da’i in 1412 AH/1992 AD with the group of 82 believers. It is after this Hajj, he compiled the book consisting of the Hajj arkaan and its manaasik. He himself took special sessions and prepared mumineen for how to perform proper and perfect Hajj. In 1420 AH/1999 AD, Saiyedna saheb with 44th Da’i, undertook long journey of 42 days for Ziyaaraat e Mubaarakah in Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Israel, Syria and Yemen. It is due to his efforts and encouragement, many more people are opting to go for the Ziyaarat in Karbalaa and Najaf instead of wasting money at some other tourists destinations. Extensive Sabaq with literature has been arranged for the people going for ‘Umrah Mufradah that has increased manifold by every passing year.

Da'i uz Zamaan Saiyedna Haatim Zakiyuddin saheb TUS along with 72 mumineen-muminaat to get the spiritual rise and physical purity from the land of Shohadaa-martyrs took historic journey to the heavenly cities of Karbalaa and Najaf that proved a turning point for many Zaa'ereen's lives. From 22nd Shawwaal till 3rd Zul Qa'dah 1444 AH/12-23 May 2023, Aqaa Maulaa Saiyedna saheb TUS stayed in Alavi-Husaini heavens with the arkaan of 'Ibaadaat and Du'aa. This was the second time Maulaa visited these maqaamaat.

For every small or big spiritual or social occasion, printed literature is furnished by Saiyedna saheb’s office giving appropriate instructions to the applicants. 24 Hudood (person with specifically assigned task) are there to perform the religious ceremonies as per guidelines defined since centuries and on Taiyebi Tenets. Be it at Devdi Mubaarak – Residence of Saiyedna saheb, masjid, community hall, private majlis, graveyard for the occasions pertaining to Inauguration, Sehra, Birthday, Marriage, Misaaq (divine oath), Roza-iftaari, Ziyaafat, Khatnah or Deceased person’s Sadaqallaah. Saiyedna saheb and his close associates manages all these affairs. This is the reason that Devdi Mubaarak is abuzz every time with the spiritual proceeding of believers.

He had retained the amount of mehr of Rs. 1000/- fixed by his father al-Maulaa al-Muqaddas, which was previously Rs. 200/- during the time of 41st Da'i, for the marriage proposal given to the bride and it is on a discretionary power of an individual to give or not to give anything apart from mehr. There is no concept of dowry and one is free to arrange anything for the marriage of her daughter as per his financial condition, but under the pre-defined religious laws. From Rabi' ul Awwal 1444 AH/October 2022 AH, he increased the amount of mehr from Rs. 1000/- to Rs. 2145/-.

His tenure as a Mazoon and now as a Da'i is marked by the constructions of new mosques, guest houses (musaafir-khaanas), mausoleums and community halls. His acumen in Fatimid architecture could be seen in the building constructed under his supervision. This has earned him an able designer and future planner as far as the space utility is concerned. Masjid-e-Faatemi, Masjid-e-Haatemi, Masjid-e-Shehaabi, Masjid-e-Badri, Mazaar of Saiyedna Ameeruddin saheb in Pratapnagar, Saiyedna Nuruddin saheb in Wadi, Saiyedna Badruddin saheb in Bustaan e Badri are the master-pieces of his expertise.

The concept of pre-wedding religious counselling and personal consultation was initiated some years back and now, one can find positive results out of it as the instances of marital discord and divorces has considerably decreased. In the majlis known as Dhaaru-Fixing of the date of marriage and the day when wedding cards are distributed in the community, the to be-couple sits in front of Saiyedna saheb and he himself explains the realities of married life, its responsibilities and sacrifices. Likewise by the Razaa-permission of Saiyedna saheb, the training sessions of the Baaligh children-the children who has attained the age of puberty and has to give to Saiyedna saheb the Oath of Loyalty (Misaaq) which is meant for the Imaam of the time from the progeny of Mohammad known as “Imaam uz Zamaan (as)”, is regularly conducted before the majlis of Misaaq. The children are educated with the pillars of Islam and faith, their responsibilities of being an Alavi Bohra, their obligatory deeds as per the Cannonical Law of Islam from dawn to dusk, their relationship with their family members, relatives, neighbours, employees and community members. One who gives misaaq enjoys all the spiritual attachments and absolute guidance from Saiyedna saheb. This gives him the identity of being an Alavi.

During the turbulent time of the pandemic and the fear of the infection of Corona virus (Covid-19) worldwide, there was a global lockdown and economical slowdown.  In every nook and corner of the world people were confined to their homes for months together and a new normal was initiated to Work from Home.  This all started in Rajab 1441 AH/March 2020 AD when it started spreading in almost all the countries.  All social and religious gatherings were restricted and rescheduled.  During this time in Shahrullaah 1441 AH and Moharram 1442 AH, all the prayers, majaalis, wa’az and du’aas were broadcasted or pre-recorded at Devdi Mubaarak.  Then through Zoom and YouTube it was made available to mumineen.  It was Saiyedna saheb’s willingness and guidance to keep pace with the demanding time, this facility could be made possible.

Publications meant for religious knowledge and awareness (deeni ma’lumaat) is his prime objective. Knowing that the books are the mother of development and discipline, he always emphasized in reading good things for fruitful results. Several books highlighting Isma’ili-Taiyebi faith and facts were published to make his followers make aware of their religious and social duties. Books such as:

  • al-Aqaa'id il-'Alaviyah Part 1: 25 Principles of Taiyebi-'Alavi faith that should be whole--heartedly followed by every Alavi Bohra community member.
