Surat — Dargah of Syedna Taher Saifuddin (RA)
سُورَت — دَرْگَاهُ سَيِّدِنَا طَاهِر سَيْفُ الدِّيْن
The dargah mubarak of the 51st Dai al-Mutlaq, His Holiness Syedna Taher Saifuddin (RA), is located in Surat. He served as Dai from 1915 to 1965 — fifty years of extraordinary leadership. He was a prolific scholar, poet, and spiritual guide who composed hundreds of qasidas (odes) in Arabic, guided the community through the turbulence of the 20th century, and won landmark legal battles to protect the Dawat. He is revered as one of the greatest Duat Mutlaqeen in recent centuries.
Why it Matters
Syedna Taher Saifuddin RA is among the most beloved Duat for Bohras worldwide. His Arabic poetry is recited at religious occasions and his spiritual writings illuminate the principles of the Dawat. His dargah — often visited alongside that of Syedna Burhanuddin RA — is a center of communal remembrance and blessings.
