Amatullah Aai

Bu saheba Amatullah Aai (15 Zilhajjtil-Haram 1338 H-12 Rabi-ul-Awwal 1415 H) was the wife of the 52nd Dai Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin and the mother of the current Dai (53) Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin. She was the daughter of Abdul Husain, a descendant of the 46th Da'i al-Mutlaq Abdul Qadir Najmuddin. ^{[1] [2]}

She inspired a revised version of Sahifatus-Salat, one of the most important books of the Dawoodi Bohra community, which contains information and instructions about the community's important religious aspects. Her eldest son Qaid Johar complied with her wishes and had the work revised with the help of scholars in the Jamea-tus-Saifiyah Daras in Surat. The new version was dedicated to Amatullah Aai Saheba and was renamed Sahifatul-Gharrah (The Book of the Lady) in her honour . This version was published by Jamea-tus-Saifiyah in October 1999. This comprehensive sahifa is divided into four parts and covers all aspects of a mumin's life:

1. Detailing 7 da’aim (pillars) of Islam;
2. An individuals journey from birth to grave; all ritual procedures
3. Religious activities during the individual Hijri months of a year.
4. Miscellaneous procedures of special salats such as tasbih ul azam. ^[3]
