Shahzada[4] Husain Burhanuddin (Arabic: شهزاده حُسين بُرهانُ ٱلدّين‎, romanized: Ḥusayn Burhānuddīn), also known as Husain Mufaddal Saifuddin,[5] is the third and youngest son of Mufaddal Saifuddin,[6][7] the current incumbent of the office of the 53rd Da'i al-Mutlaq.[8] He is a Qāriʾ[a][2] and an honorary member of Naqabāt Qurrāʾ al-Quran (lit. 'Guild of Quran Reciters') in Cairo.[10] Burhanuddin is a provost of Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah and heads Mahad al-Zahra,[b] through which he has been instrumental in the realization of his grand father Mohammed Burhanuddin's vision for Dawoodi Bohra community to seek enlightenment through Quranic values.[10] He also administers a number of socio-economic institutions[which?] run by Dawoodi Bohra community.[8] Burhanuddin is a recipient of All India Council for Human Rights' Ambassador for Peace Award.[11]

Early life[]

Burhanuddin was born on 24 December 1977 (15 Muḥarram al-Ḥarām 1398H) to Mufaddal Saifuddin and Jawaharatusharaf (née Najmuddin). He received his primary schooling at MSB Educational Institute in Mumbai. By 1995 (1416H) he had completed memorization of the Quran. Three years later, in 1998, he graduated from Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah with the degree of al-Faqih al-Jayyid (lit. 'The Distinguished Jurist'[c]).[10]

Shortly after memorizing the Quran, Burhanuddin frequented Cairo to study the art of recitation as well as the sciences of Quranic readings.[10] He later[when?] released audio recording of the entire Quran in the murattal style of recitation, certified by al-Azhar University, Cairo.[3][13]

Career[]

Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah[]

Burhanuddin is a senior member of the executive board[when?] of Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah.[14] He oversees the academic and administrative affairs of the academy. He also teaches[clarification needed] at the academy.[8]

Mahad al-Zahra[]

Burhanuddin has been integral to Mahad al-Zahra's[b] development.[10][3] He focuses on Quranic science, recitation, and exegesis with a view to benefit the modern day society.[10] In order to foster a better understanding of Quranic arts and sciences, under Burhanuddin's purview, Mahad al-Zahra distributed several[vague] guides and booklets to Dawoodi Bohra community centers world-wide,[8] among them seven installments of Khazāʾin Maʿānī al-Qurʾān al-Fāʾiqah, a series for the non-Arabic speaking audiences to gain an insight into the meanings of the Quran.[23]

Burhanuddin's emphasis on audio-visual teaching aids to facilitate learning has accelerated Quranic education within the community:[3] Through its e-learning program,[d] Mahad al-Zahra attracts thousands of applicants from around the world to participate in a combination of virtual classes along with one-to-one recital sessions through video-conferencing and internet telephony,[10] aiding huffaz as young as 6 years old.[25]

As of 2020, more than 8 branches of Mahad al-Zahra have been established at Dawoodi Bohra centers in India, Kenya, Kuwait, Pakistan, Tanzania, UAE, USA, and Yemen.[10][26]

As the head of the Mahad al-Zahra, Burhanuddin conducts the final oral examinations for the Huffaz (lit. 'guardians of the Quran').[8]

Outreach[]

Under Burhanuddin's leadership, Mahad al-Zahra has become one of Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah's largest avenues for community outreach. Over the past two decades,[when?] the department has extended access to Quranic education to members of the Dawoodi Bohra community through numerous[vague] educational institutions[which?] established across the globe.[10]

Burhanuddin frequently visits Dawoodi Bohra community centers in the Indian Sub-continent, Middle East, East Africa, Europe, and the United States to encourage accurate recitation of the Quran and facilitate its memorization:[10] Between 2007 and 2011, at various venues,[27] Burhanuddin conducted 3-day workshops designed to motivate and teach participants Quran memorization techniques.[28]

Under Burhanuddin's administration, ḥuffāẓ are sent to various cities and towns all over the world during the month of Ramadān al-Muʿazzam, to conduct classes that help children as well as adults recite and memorize the Quran.[10]

Today, he is said to be overlooking almost all the major departments and organisation of Dawat-e-Hadiyah[clarification needed] an acting as the prime handler of the daily affairs of the organisation.[citation needed]

Ashara Mubaraka[]

Burhanuddin, in his capacity as a Qari, delivers 30-minute[29] mujawwad recitations of the Quran[29][30] which precede the sermons[31] delivered by Mufaddal Saifuddin,[32] especially during Ashara Mubarāka,[e][1] since 2012.[29]
