A mega procession was organised in Mumbai that started from MG Road to Azam Campus Grounds (the route is popularly known as Marine Drive) involving 8000 participants. Followers were dressed in golden robes traversing on horses or upon chariots. Various floats were a part of the parade displaying a variety of accomplishments during Burhanuddin's tenure. Similar processions took place at community centers across the world.[\[21\]](#cite_note-21) During the ceremonies held over the period of a week, Burhanuddin laid the foundation stone for the [SBUT project](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saifee_Burhani_Upliftment_Trust "Saifee Burhani Upliftment Trust") in Bhendi Bazar[\[22\]](#cite_note-22) and announced the opening of a branch of the Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah university in Nairobi, Kenya.\[_[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")_\] Burhanuddin spent a few days every year in London, where he had a home. During one such visit in 2011, he suffered a stroke and was admitted to Cromwell Hospital. Some days after being admitted to the hospital, he appointed his 2nd son, Mufaddal Saifuddin, as his successor holding a few members of his immediate family to bear witness, as per the religious traditions. He asked for the news to be communicated to all community members.[\[23\]](#cite_note-23) Upon his return to Mumbai, Burhanuddin visited the mausoleum of his father.

This Islamization countered a trend toward assimilation into the larger culture of their ancestors that was also prevalent under his predecessor, Taher Saifuddin and the previous Du'at before them.[\[6\]](#cite_note-blank-6) The history of this culture can be traced back to the medieval Fatimid dynasty in Egypt. In 1980 CE/1401 AH, the Al-Hakim mosque was extensively refurbished in white marble and gold trim by Mohammed Burhanuddin. Remnants of the original decorations, including stucco carvings, timber tie-beams, and Quranic inscriptions were restored as part of the renovations. His intent to restore the ancient Al-Hakim Mosque as a place of worship in contemporary times necessitated a lighting solution that provided this important functionality to the mosque and did so in a manner that paid tribute to the Fatimid tradition of illumination and its aesthetics. The miraculous emergence of the mishkat or small lantern from the niche of the richly decorated façade of Al Jami al Aqmar provided that solution. The niche in which the lantern motif was found has also been compared to the mihrab niche of Al Azhar mosque, the same also now found in Al-Hakim mosque, which has a central motif that resembles a large lamp or lantern.[\[25\]](#cite_note-25) ### Educational contributions \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mohammed_Burhanuddin&action=edit§ion=10 "Edit section: Educational contributions")\] In October 1999, Burhanuddin was elected Chancellor of the [Aligarh Muslim University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aligarh_Muslim_University "Aligarh Muslim University"),[\[26\]](#cite_note-26) a position that [his father also held](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taher_Saifuddin#Da'i_al-Mutlaq "Taher Saifuddin").

The construction of each campus is centered around a masjid, with all buildings oriented towards the Kaaba in Mecca.[\[37\]](#cite_note-37) All four campuses have integrated green building techniques and observe environmental friendly operations. The buildings have been designed to utilize sunlight and facilitate natural ventilation as much as possible, and avoid dependency on artificial methods that consume great amounts of electricity, for e.g. solar water heating systems have been used in the dormitories of the Surat campus. A layout of coconut trees planted along the perimeter of the Karachi campus’ sports field mitigates waterlogging not only in Jamea but also in the surrounding homes. Recycling, compost facilities, motion sensor lighting and paper reduction policies are also applied in all four campuses. ### Al-Multaqa al-Fatemi al-Ilmi \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mohammed_Burhanuddin&action=edit§ion=13 "Edit section: Al-Multaqa al-Fatemi al-Ilmi")\] In the year 1978, Burhanuddin held a historic Islamic conference in Surat where he called upon delegates of the community centers to adhere to the time-tested traditions of their faith while also embracing the beneficial ‘new’ with the advent of scientific advancements. Amongst his important messages to the community was to renounce the practice of [riba](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riba "Riba") (lit. 'interest and usury'). The congregation initially started in Surat and was thereafter held in Mumbai, Karachi, Nairobi and Dar es salaam between 1978 - 1988. The first gathering at Surat in 1978 was held in Iwaan al-Barakat (lit. 'Hall of Blessings') of [Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah "Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah"). Burhanuddin laid down seven principles\[_[which?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Avoid_weasel_words "Wikipedia:Avoid weasel words")_\] in this meet to develop social, educational and economic fervor amongst his followers. In 1984, on the twin occasions of the 100th birth anniversary of his father, Taher Saifuddin and the 1400th birth anniversary of [Husayn ibn Ali](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Husayn_ibn_Ali "Husayn ibn Ali"), Muhammed's grandson; Burhanuddin laid down another set of principles similar in spirit to the ones established before with the added emphasis of _Qardan Hasana_ (lit. 'good loan'), which are interest-free loans. The abolition of _riba_ from an institutional level and to certain extents on an individual level is considered to be the highlight of these meetings.[\[38\]](#cite_note-38) Burhanuddin established community kitchens (viz. _Faiz al-Mawaid al-Burhaniyah_) to provide meals everyday to the [Dawoodi Bohra](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawoodi_Bohra "Dawoodi Bohra") families, thus providing free time for women to pursue economic, educational or religious activities.[\[39\]](#cite_note-39) The community kitchens don't discriminate between the privileged and the underprivileged sections, both getting the same "good quality and hygienically-prepared" food,[\[40\]](#cite_note-40) while the community members have the provision of paying for their own family, and for sponsoring those who cannot afford it.[\[41\]](#cite_note-41) [Manmohan Singh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manmohan_Singh "Manmohan Singh"), then [Prime Minister of India](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_India "Prime Minister of India"), speaks at the inauguration of Saifee Hospital on 4 June 2005.

The ratio of doctors with respect to the total members of the community is 1:300.[\[47\]](#cite_note-:2-47) Apart from this, hospitals have been established all across the globe in places such as Tanzania and Pakistan, where medical aid is provided at a subsidised rate. Saifee Ambulance in Mumbai provides subsidised medical services to the local neighbourhood. It extends  help in hospitalisation, immunisation and blood donation. It also sets up regular medical camps.[\[44\]](#cite_note-Al-Jamea-Tus-Saifiyah-44) ### Saifee Burhani Upliftment Trust \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mohammed_Burhanuddin&action=edit§ion=18 "Edit section: Saifee Burhani Upliftment Trust")\] One of Burhanuddin's major undertakings was the establishment of the [Saifee Burhani Upliftment Trust](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saifee_Burhani_Upliftment_Trust "Saifee Burhani Upliftment Trust"). This redevelopment project comprising 16.5 acres of landform has approximately 250 existing buildings, 1250 shops and 3200 families under its radar in South Mumbai. The idea is to incorporate the locality's dilapidated structures into a more sustainable development project, with new buildings, modern infrastructure, wider roads, more open spaces and commercial establishments. Using the ‘best principles of urban planning’ the project aims to meet the present and future socio-economic needs of the people. The neighborhood, famously known as _Bhendi Bazaar_ has been divided into 7 sub-clusters. The majority of the flats in these buildings will relocate the existing tenants/occupants to better accommodation. The area will have its own environment-friendly decorum along with an efficient sewage treatment plant, solar panels, rainwater harvesting, and garbage disposal units. The project aims to be resource neutral. It has already been pre-certified 'Gold' by the Indian Green Buildings Council.[\[48\]](#cite_note-48) ### Memorisation of the Quran \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mohammed_Burhanuddin&action=edit§ion=19 "Edit section: Memorisation of the Quran")\] Burhanuddin emphasized ‘memorising the entire Quran’. There are several examples where Burhanuddin has announced this idea on an international level, for example on the occasion of completion of 1400 years of Quranic revelation on Mohammed (1387 H), and in the International Islamic Conference on Aspects of Islamic Studies at Albert Hall, London (Meherjaan al-Alami al Islami 1976 CE) he addressed this desire in his speech.[\[49\]](#cite_note-49) Subsequently, in that same year, a Quranic  institute by the name of Mahad al-Zahra was established by him.[\[50\]](#cite_note-50) The main objectives of this institution is to facilitate learning of the art of recitation, memorization and understanding of the Quran and its sciences.[\[51\]](#cite_note-51) Mohammed Burhanuddin had inaugurated Mahad al-Zahra, Karachi in the year 1404H, during his birthday celebrations there. In 1415 H, he delivered a sermon where he stressed upon the memorisation of the Quran and directed the students of Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah to commit the entire Quran to memory. In the following year 1416 H, Husain Burhanuddin, the grandson of Mohammed Burhanuddin memorised the  entire Quran and since then this initiative has taken traction tenfold.\[_[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")_\] In the year 1418 H/ 1998, Burhanuddin laid down the foundation for a new branch of Mahad al-Zahra in Surat (India).[\[52\]](#cite_note-:3-52) The new facility provides the ideal environment of comfort and peace for the students engrossed in the demanding memorisation process. This institute also houses an audio studio where various recordings have been taped. The entire Quran has also been recorded and distributed via CDs and lately, through the internet. Students of Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah memorise the Quran under this institution and render teaching services to community members residing in different parts of the world. In H 1433 / C.E. 2013, a kindergarten named Rawdat al-Quran al-Kareem (RQK) was established in Mumbai with the aim of nurturing young pupils in the light of the Quran.[\[52\]](#cite_note-:3-52) In the year 2005, a distance-learning memorization program was launched to reach out to members of the community who live in distant cities such as Sydney, Australia, Los Angeles.\[_[citation

instructed his followers to be patriotic to the state they resided in. In Islam, loyalty to the land of abode is an integral part of one's faith. Mohammed Burhanuddin urged his followers to follow the laws of the country they live in and strive to be good citizens. Dawoodi Bohras have therefore become well integrated into the various societies that they have become part of, in the countries in which they reside. They are active in community help efforts and also partake in social drives and campaigns.\[_[full citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources#What_information_to_include "Wikipedia:Citing sources")_\] Burhanuddin in conversation with [Rowan Williams](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rowan_Williams "Rowan Williams"), [Archbishop of Canterbury](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archbishop_of_Canterbury "Archbishop of Canterbury"), in London (2010). Throughout his 50 years in the office, Mohammed Burhaunndin strove to imbibe a particular Islamic identity to his followers. The most prominent distinction of the Dawoodi Bohra community is their religious attire, known as the Libas-al-Anwar (lit. Radiant Clothes.) For men, it usually consists of a trouser-like pant called an izar, coupled with a loose elongated shirt-like draping over the upper body --- called a kurta along with an overcoat called a saya, which is topped off by a skull cap called - Topi. The women's attire is called a ‘Rida’ which is an all-covering dress worn by Bohra women. Furthermore, the men in the community adorn a full-grown beard which adds to their distinctive identity. In addition to the distinctive clothes, he also urged his followers to speak a unique language, known as the Lisan-al-Da’wah (the language of Da’wah). The language is predominantly rooted in Arabic and Gujarati with a mix of words from other languages such as Urdu and Persian. Burhanuddin has also supported the movement towards Islamic English where the expression of Islamic norms and Quranic concepts are better articulated in the English language without compromising the meaning. For example ‘Mosque’ though derived from the Arabic word ‘Masjid’ fails to convey the original meaning of the word, ‘a place for prostration or sajda.[\[83\]](#cite_note-86) During his life, Mohammed Burhanuddin regularly urged his followers to extend help to the less fortunate in society. In the year H 1424 H/ C.E. 2002, during his visit to the island nation of Madagascar, Burhanuddin instituted the idea of ‘upliftment’ and called upon all the members of the community to help their fellow community members. Along with the community members, he expanded his efforts to help the society at large. This can be understood by the aids provided by him in the aftermath of the Bombay Riots and the Bhuj earthquake. During the month of Ramadan, the less fortunate members of the community would be provided essentials such as clothes, food, shelter and medical services. To carry out these functions, Mohammed Burhanuddin set up institutions such as His Holiness Doctor Syedna Taher Saifuddin Memorial Foundation (STSMF).[\[84\]](#cite_note-87) The new Trust\[_[which?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Avoid_weasel_words "Wikipedia:Avoid weasel words")_\] was aimed to provide modern solutions for today's modern business. Throughout his life, Mohammed Burhanuddin urged his community to enter the world of trade, business and industrialization. The word ‘Bohra’ itself denotes the meaning of ‘a trader’. Mohammed Burhanuddin encouraged his followers to move forward and expand their businesses. He stressed to his followers to keep the tradition of business and entrepreneurship intact in the community. To help his followers to that extent, Mohammed Burhanuddin institutionalized the concept of Islamic Loans which are interest free, known as Qardan Hasanah (Good Loans). In 1991, Mohammed Burhanuddin established the Burhani Qardan Hasana Trust. The main goal of this trust is to provide interest free loans to community members to fulfill their economic goals and help expand their businesses. Furthermore, to help enhance his community members' business skills, Mohammed Burhanuddin set up the Burhaniyah Business Counseling Centre (BBCC) in Mumbai. The center organized numerous expos named Burhani Expo to help connect community members with each other to expand their businesses and create a global network of traders within the community. In 2014, Mohammed Burhanuddin again re-institutionalized this concept by renaming the Qardan Hasnah trust by the name of Hasanaat al Qardan Hasan al Burhaniyah.[\[85\]](#cite_note-88) The BBCC was also absorbed by this new trust and a new department was formed to help community members prosper in their business endeavors. This department was named ‘Tijarat Rabeha’ which translates into Profitable Business. The main aim of this department is to facilitate the needs of new and upcoming entrepreneurs within the community by providing modern day solutions and ideas to them. It also organizes numerous seminars, workshops and webinars to help existing businessmen within the community expand their businesses and evolve their business acumen in course with the ever changing times.[\[86\]](#cite_note-89) Burhanuddin formed the Amatullah Aaisaheba Memorial Trust in 1996 in memory of his late wife, Amatullah Aai who had played a leading role in the welfare of the Dawoodi Bohra women. The trust lays particular emphasis on the support of home industries run by women.[\[87\]](#cite_note-90) The community facilitates schemes to provide flats and houses at cheaper rates. Several housing complexes have been established all over India, for example in Kalyan, Marol and even in foreign countries such as in Nairobi, Kenya.[\[88\]](#cite_note-91) In H 1426 / C.E. 2004, a department known as Faiz Enayat Amakene Anwar was established in Mumbai. The main aim of this department is to provide better living conditions for those living in poor conditions.[\[89\]](#cite_note-92) Top: Star of Jordan ([Jordan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urdun "Urdun")).
