Taher Fakhruddin[1] is the 54th Da'i al-Mutlaq of the Dawoodi Qutbi Bohras, a sect within Shia Islam distinguished as the Shia Fatimi Ismaili Tayyibi Dawoodi Qutbi Bohras. He is the son of Khuzaima Qutbuddin,[2] the 53rd Da'i al-Mutlaq of the group. After the death of the 52nd Da'i al-Mutlaq, Mohammed Burhanuddin, two persons asserted their right to succeed him, Khuzaima Qutbuddin and Mufaddal Saifuddin. Followers of Khuzaima Qutbuddin regard Taher Fakhruddin as his successor.[3]
