Succession controversy

Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin suffered a stroke in a London hospital in year 2011, after which Mufaddal Saifuddin was proclaimedas the successor in a London Hospital followed by a ceremony in Mumbai, while the Syedna was still recovering. It was reported that at home the Dawoodi Bohra community welcomed the name of Mufaddal as a successor. In Jan, 2014 late Syedna passed away, Mufaddal Saifuddin led the last rituals in which Lakhs(hundreds of thousands) Bohra joined. However, Muffadal Saifuddin's succession has not been accepted by Khuzaima Qutbuddin, the second in command to Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin, who claimed the title of the 53rd Dā'ī l-Muṭlaq of the Dawoodi Bohras. Khuzaima Qutbuddin claims that Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin performed nass on him 49 years ago, a ritual during which he appointed him as his successor. He also claims that the succession was not done in London as Mohammad Burhanuddin suffered from a full stroke at the age of 100 that made it difficult for him to write, speak, or move. The former Chief Justice of India, AM Ahmadi, in his personal stand, upheld the validity of Khuzaima Qutbuddin as the rightful successor.

"Syedna Qutbuddin’s family had shared certain historical documents with me, some of which are written in Arabic, in which historical facts about the community and the events since the nass (choosing the successor) conferred by Syedna Burhanuddin on Syedna Qutbuddin in 1965 have been recorded. I examined the documents and believe that Syedna Qutbuddin’s stand of the 53rd Dai is principled,"
— Ahmadi, The former Chief Justice of India

There are various reports that Mufaddal has taken over the administration as 53rd Dai. Bohra who refuse to accept Muffadal alleges harassment and boycott.

Ceremony Video

The video of the alleged succession (nuss) ceremony is available. The original video was uploaded on Youtube but was later removed on accusation of copyright violation by Jameat Saifiya currently under control of Mufaddal. However the video has been available in other places.

Sequence of Events

Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin (R.A) was in the hospital at the time. He addressed the Shahzada Sahebs and said “In the name of Allah, I here by proclaim my succession on Bhai Mufaddal”.Then he repeated the same four times to ensure everyone heard that.

The witnesses to the Nass were Aaliwaqar Shahzada Idris Bhaisaheb Badruddin (DM), Shahzada Qusai Bhaisaheb Vajihuddin (DM), Shahzada Ammar Bhaisaheb Jamaluddin (DM) and Dr. Moiz Bhaisaheb and Shahzadi Husaina Behnsaheba(DM).

Syedna Aaliqadr Mufaddal Bhaisaheb Saifuddin was informed by three Shahzada Sahebs(Sons).

Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin instructed Shahzada Sahebs to inform Mumineen(Dawoodi Bohras) all over the world about his Mansoos (Successor).

The proclamation of nass was publicly announced on the eve of Urs Mubarak of Syedna Noor Mohammed Nooruddin (Eve of 4th Rajjab-al-Assab 1432 H).

Other reports

Tens of thousands members of the Dawoodi Bohra community, gathered at a public ground in Mumbai to endorse their solidarity and offer their condolences to their new spiritual leader Mufaddal Saifuddin. Their official representative alleges that wrongful claim by Khuzaima has aggrieved and has caused pain to Dawoodi Bohra around the world, as they have witnessed the 52nd Dai al-Mutlaq publicly conferring – Nass (investiture) in 2011 in Mumbai, and had also explicitly reaffirmed it on many occasions since several years. .
