Duat Mutlaqin Tarikh
Syedna Ismail Badruddin(R.A)
- Born in 990H during the era of Syedna Dawood bin Ajabsha Burhanuddin Saheb (R.A), Syedna Ismail Badruddin Saheb (R.A), descendent from the revered Bharmal progeny was rightfully predicted to succeed as Dai by his learned grand father Maulaya Adam (Q.R). At the tender age of five Syedna Ismail (R.A) completed the entire Quran-e-Majid. While accompanying his revered father Mulla Raj (Q.R) to Ahmedabad in the Hazarat of Syedna Dawood (R.A), Syedna Ismail (R.A) being the fifth son of Mulla Raj (R.A) was presented to Syedna Dawood (R.A) in Khumus and was admitted in Dars under the beneficial up bringing of Syedna Dawood (R.A). Having taken over his father's business during the period of Syedna Abdultayeb Zakiuddin Saheb (R.A), Syedna Ismail (R.A) used to reside in Ahmedabad for eight months, while he stayed in Jamnagar for the rest of the year. During his stay in Ahmedabad, he was accustomed to generously spend for Dawat purposes and for the betterment of Mumineen. Syedna Ismail (R.A) who served as the Wali of Jamnagar for forty years had the honour of serving seven Duat Mutlaqeen (R.A) consecutively.
Date of Wafat(Death) : 12th Zilqadatil Haram 1038 H.
Duration of Dawat : 25 years, 4 months and 18 days.
- Syedna Abdultayeb Zakiyuddin Saheb (R.A), born in the year 1038H was initially educated by his revered grandfather Mulla Raj (Q.R) who predicted him to have a bright future. His revered father Syedna Ismail (R.A) later admitted him in Dars to procure higher education. Apparently Syedna Abultayeb (R.A) a Hafiz-ul-Quran shifted to Jamnagar from Ahmedabad. On one occasion of increasing illness, in 1066H, Syedna Ismail (R.A) when queried of his Mansoos (successor) by his learned attendants, did not answer. Eventually, after Salatul-Fajr, Syedna Ismail (R.A) announced that Imam-uz-Zaman (S.A) had graciously granted him the honour of Deedar in his dream and addressed him to appoint his son Syedna Abultayeb (R.A) as his successor. Syedna Abdultayeb Zakiyuddin (R.A) at the time was twenty-eight years old and was declared Mazoon. Syedna Abdultayeb (R.A) after the sad demise of Syedna Ismail (R.A) in Jamnagar ascended the throne of Dawat and took over its administration.
- Mumineen of Ahmedabad supplicated to Syedna Abultayeb (R.A) to grace their land with Syedna's presence as it had been twenty-five years since Mumineen of Ahmedabad had done Deedar of Syedna Feerkhan Shujauddin (R.A). Syedna Abultayeb (R.A) graciously visited Ahmedabad and during the course of Waaz (discourse) declared Syedna Moosa Kalimuddin (R.A) his Mansoos (successor). It was in 1091H when Syedna Abultayeb (R.A) on appointing his learned son Syedna Moosa (R.A) as Mazoon and younger son Syedna Shaikh Adam Safiuddin (R.A) as Mukasir when foes of Dawat evinced their detest for Dawat and Dai. They indulged in harassing and even imprisoning and torturing Mumineen and the Dai's family members. A severe drought followed and people suffered much hardship and miseries. A Hakim asserted that as long as true Muslims were agonized, the wrath of Allah was to prevail. Justice was finally meted and imprisoned Mumineen returned to their native places. During this hardship much expenses were incurred. Soon after some enemies of Dawat deviously complained to the Haakim of Ujjain reckoning the Bohras to be 'Rafzi' (one who doesn't abide by the tenants of Shariah and Sunnah of Rasullulah S.A.W). About a hundred Mumineen were unjustly imprisoned and rendered without food and water for three days. It was after a month of infinite difficulties in detention that Mumineen were finally released. Syedna Abultayeb (R.A) instructed wells to be dug in Jamnagar. One named Bir-e-Ali till date provides water to Mumineen.
- Syedna Abultayeb (R.A) passed away at the age of sixty-three on twelfth Zilqadatil Haram in 1101 H.
Date of 'Wafat'(Death) : 22nd Rabiul-Akhar 1022 H. (1710 AD)
Period of Dawat : 11 Years, 5 months & 10 days.
- Syedna Moosa Kalimuddin (R.A) was born in 1057H, during the period of Syedna Ismail Badruddin (R.A) who admitted him in Dars at Ahmedabad for higher education. Syedna Moosa (R.A) attained knowledge from Syedi Khanji Fir Saheb (Q.R). On his return to Jamnagar Syedna Moosa (R.A) attained the eminent Rutba (rank) of Mazoon. He had the honour to serve his grandfather Syedna Ismail (R.A) and his father Syedna Abultayeb (R.A) and succeeded as Dai in 1101H. In semblance to the period of his father Syedna Abultayeb (R.A), his era was one of great hardships as the Mogul emperor of the time, Aurangzeb was one who possessed immense hatred for Mumineen due to deceitful propaganda by Munafiqeen.
Date of 'Wafat'(Death) : 27th Rabi-Al-Akhar 997 AH.
Period of Dawat : 23 Years.
- It was during Syedna Abdultayeb Zakiuddin's (R.A) era when Syedna Ismail Badruddin (R.A) was born in Udaipur on the twenty-seventh of Zilhajjatil Haram, 1097H. His early childhood was passed in Udaipur with his parents Syedi Shaikh Adam (Q.R) and mother Fatema Aaisaheba. After the sad demise of his mother in Mandvi and his father Syedi Shaikh Adam (Q.R) soon after, Syedna Ismail's (R.A) upbringing was undertaken by his grandfather Syedna Abdultayeb (R.A). At the age of fifteen Syedna Abdultayeb (R.A) took Misaq of Syedna Ismail (R.A) and sent him for Dawat to Mandvi. Syedna Ismail (R.A) later married Jeevna Baisaheba daughter of Syedna Noor Mohammed Nooruddin Saheb (R.A). He was granted the honored Rutba of Mukasir by Syedna Nooruddin (R.A) and was shortly elevated to the eminent position of Mazoon. Syedna Nooruddin (R.A) than performed Nass upon him.
- Subsequent to the sad demise of Syedna Nooruddin (R.A), Syedna Ismail (R.A) ascended the high seat of Dai and appointed Syedi Abdul Qader Hakimuddin (Q.R) as Mazoon and also performed Nass upon him. On the event of the death of Syedi Abdul Qader Hakimuddin (Q.R), Syedna Ismail (R.A) appointed Syedi Qazi Khan Saheb (Q.R) as Mazoon who too soon passed away. Syedna Ismail's (R.A) affection upon students was evident. Under his beneficial guidance, a Masjid and Madrasa were constructed in Mundra. Shortly after his second marriage to Fatema Aaisaheba, daughter of Mulla Ebrahimjee Syedna Ismail (R.A) was gifted with two sons, one of them, Syedna (R.A) became Dai. Syedna Ismail (R.A) fell severely ill in Mundra. Historical texts narrate that a Suleimani Dai in Yemen predicted a true Dai of Ahle Bait (S.A) would soon pass away. Suleimani followers anticipated that their Dai who had predicted this occurrence soon would die. On the eventuating of the demise of Syedna Ismail (R.A),during Ashara Mubaraka, the Suleimanis were but left embarrassed.
