Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah[a] is an Arabic academy dedicated to Islamic learning based in India, Pakistan, and Kenya. Established in Surat as Dars-e Saifee c. 1810 by Abde'Ali Saifuddin, it was after extensive renovation (c. 1960s) and expansion (c. 1980s and c. 2010s) carried out by Taher Saifuddin and Mohammed Burhanuddin, the university gained prominence.[6][7] Today, as holder of the office of Dāʿī al-Mutlaq, Mufaddal Saifuddin is the sole benefactor of the institute.[8][9]
Dr. Burhanuddin greatly modernized the community and its institutions. Under his stewardship the Bohra religious school Jameatus Saifiya at Surat introduced the modern curriculum together with religious curriculum and opted for International Baccalaureate program under IBO.
