Syedna AbdulQadir Najmuddin bin Syedna Tayyeb Zainuddin[1] (born 18 August 1814 (2nd Ramazan al-Moazzam 1229 AH) – died 11 May 1885) became the 47th Da'i al-Mutlaq of the Dawoodi Bohra sect amid succession disputes.
He was born to Syedna Tayyeb Zainuddin when his father and his father's younger brother Syedna Mohammed Ezzuddin were being trained by Syedna Abdeali Saifuddin to become Da'i al-Mutlaq. He was taught by Syedi Abdeali Imaduddin.[2]
When his father Tayyeb Zainuddin became the 45th Da'i al-Mutlaq, he was seven years old.
He was the Da'i al-Mutlaq until 1885 when he died in an epidemic[3][4] in Ujjain, where he is buried.[4]
