Bohra Jamat of Auckland / New Zealand

The Bohra community of Auckland and New Zealand represents the Dawat's presence at the far end of the world — as far geographically from Gujarat as one can travel. Bohra families arrived in New Zealand primarily through skilled migration programs, drawn by the country's quality of life, its strong healthcare and education systems, and its welcoming immigration framework. Despite the community's small size, New Zealand Bohras have maintained strong religious identity, with Eid gatherings, waaz programs via visiting Aamils, and Ashara Mubaraka observances. New Zealand's Muslim community, while a minority, has been treated with notable respect — particularly after the Christchurch mosque attacks of 2019, which strengthened national solidarity with Muslim communities. The Auckland jamat maintains close ties with the larger Australian Bohra communities in Melbourne and Sydney.
