Syedna Mohammad Ezzuddin (Arabic: محمد عزالدين, romanized: Muḥammad ʿIzz al-Dīn) (died 1539 / 27th Safar, 946 AH in Zabid, Yemen) was the 23rd Da'i of the Dawoodi Bohra, a sub-sect of Isma'ili Shi'i Islam.[1] The Dawoodi Bohra trace their belief system back to Yemen, where it evolved from the Fatimid Caliphate and where they were persecuted due to their differences from mainstream Sunni Islam and Zaydi Islam. Around 1567 CE, the Da'wat (the sect's religious organisation) was relocated to Gujarat, India.
