Philosophy
“All of Creation is in need of Allah’s sustenance. The most beloved of all Creation to Him is the one who proves to be the most beneficial to His Creation.”
Prophet Mohammed 

Following this prophetic tradition, His Holiness Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin, the 53rd al-Dai al-Mutlaq and leader of the Dawoodi Bohra community, continuously emphasises the importance of service to humanity. He teaches that both those who receive aid and those who provide it are elevated, a powerful philosophy guides Dawoodi Bohras throughout the world in an effort to build a more just and inclusive world.
