Syedna Qutub Khan Qutbuddin as-Shaheed (Arabic: سيّدنا قُطب خان قُطبُ الدِّين الشهيد, lit. 'Qutub Khan, the Axis of Faith, the Martyred') was the 32nd Da'i al-Mutlaq of the Dawoodi Bohra. He succeeded Kasim Khan Zainuddin bin Feer Khan. He was the first Da'i to be killed for being Muslim, and in a manner that resembles the death of Husayn ibn Ali, and so his burial place, Mazar-e-Qutbi, is referred to as Choti Karbala (lit. 'little Karbala').[1]: 60
