Explore the Hindustani period of the Du'aat with an interactive, focused timeline. Use search and collapsible details to read without overwhelm.
In 1592 CE, the 26th Dai al-Mutlaq, Syedna Dawood bin Ajabshah, migrated from Yemen to India, establishing the seat of the Dawat in the Indian subcontinent. This marked the beginning of the "Hindustani" period of the Dawat.
The migration was not merely geographical but represented a new chapter in the community's history. The Du'at adapted to the local culture while maintaining the core principles of the faith, creating a unique synthesis that characterizes the Dawoodi Bohra community today.
