Ibrahim Wajiuddin

Mausoleum of Dais of Ujjain, era 1738–1780 AD

Syedna Ibrahim Wajiuddin (Arabic: ابراهيم وجيه الدين‎) Bin Abdul Qadir was 39 th Dai of Dawoodi Bohra (Death: 17 Moharram 1168 A.H./1756 A.D. Ujjain, India). He succeeded the 38th Dai Ismail Badruddin II to the religious post.

Ibrahim Wajiuddin became Da'i al-Mutlaq in 1150AH/1738AD.[1] His period of Dawat was from 1150-1168 AH/ 1738-1756 AD.

His associates were:

Mawazeen: Sheikh Adam bin Syedna Nooruddin, Hebatullah al-Moayyed fid-Deen

Mukasir: Ali bin Phirji

Ibrahim Vajihuddin, the son of Abdul Qadir Hakimuddin procured his initial education from his father. At the young age of twenty-one, Vajihuddin was sent by his father for the 'Khidmat' (service) of the Dai. Vajihuddin served Kalimuddin and Nooruddin in the most adverse of times.

In 1143H, Ujjain was affected by a severe drought. Followers of different religions prayed for rain but in vain. Vajihuddin along with Mumineen (faithful) proceeded to the banks of river Sipra and prayed to Allah for rain. On conclusion of his prayers, the people of Ujjain were indeed relieved as it soon started raining heavily.

He was succeeded by his son 40th Dai Hebatullah-il-Moayed Fiddeen.

The Hebtiahs Bohra are a branch of Mustaali Ismaili Shi'a Islam that broke off from the mainstream Dawoodi Bohra after the death of the 39th Da'i al-Mutlaq in 1754. See Hebtiahs Bohra
