Abu Haatim's name, "[[#Glossary|Taiyeb]]", is derived from the name of the twenty first Imam, Imam Taiyeb, who went into seclusion in c. 1109 as a result of the tyranny and oppression, imposed by the other communities in [[Cairo]] at the time when he was just four years old. Following the advice of Maulatana Hurrat ul-Maleka, a [[#Glossary|Hujjat]] of the twentieth Imam al-Aamir, appointed Saiyedna Zoeb bin Moosa as the first Da'i-ul-Mutlaq in [[Yemen]]. Thus, from the first Da'i, solemnized in c. 1112 in Yemen until Abu Haatim, the present forty fourth Badr-e-Muneer of Falak-e-Da'wat, the [[#Glossary|Da'wat]] mission has been kept alive. According to the [[hadith]] of [[Mohammed]], the direct descendants of Maulatana Fatemat uz-Zahra will succeed one another till Qaaim ul-Qeyaama descends on [[Qiyamah]], the Day of Judgement.
'''Abu Hatim Ṭayyib Ziyā'u d-Dīn''' (August 6, 1932 – May 23, 2015), full name '''Saiyedna Abu Haatim Taiyeb Ziyauddin Saheb''' and personal name '''Taiyyeb, Ayyubali''' with kunya (agnomen) "Abu Haatim", was the 44th ''[[Da'i al-Mutlaq|Dā‘ī al-Muṭlaq]]'', "the absolute or unrestricted [[missionary]]", of the [[Alavi Bohra]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.alavibohra.org/AT%20PRESENT.htm|title=History of Alavi Bohra|publisher=[[Alavi Bohra]]|accessdate=July 28, 2011| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20110724232805/http://www.alavibohra.org/AT%20PRESENT.htm| archivedate= 24 July 2011 | url-status= live}}</ref><ref>45th Da'i of Alavi Bohras [[Haatim Zakiyuddin|Saiyedna Haatim Zakiyuddin saheb]]</ref> a minority group of [[Ismaili|Ismā‘īlī]] [[Shia Islam|Shī‘ah]] Muslims. Since he assumed the position in 1974, the Alavi Bohra community has progressed both locally and internationally in education, economic prosperity, religion, and in the awareness among its youth of the group's identity and religious roots.


Saiyedna saheb was born in 1932 to Saiyedna Yusuf Nuruddin Saheb (a.q.), the 43rd ''Da'i-e-Mutlaq'', and Marhooma Maa Saheba Khadeejat ul-Kubra Mithibu binte Rajabali, and became Alavi Bohra's ''Da'i al-Mutlaq'' in 1974. His teacher was the 42nd ''Da'i-e-Mutlaq'' Saiyedna Fida'ali Badruddin Saheb. In 1975 (1395 AH), Abu Haatim performed the [[Hajj]] with 27 followers, the same number that was present with Sy. Shamsuddin Ali bin Ibrahim Shaheed (a.q.) in [[Ahmedabad]] during the [[mutiny]] by the usurper of Ahl-e-Motaghallib. He performed the Hajj again in 1992 (1412 AH), making him the only Da'i to date who has performed the Hajj twice. Throughout 2000, he visited [[Karbala]], [[Al-Sham|Shaam]], [[Najaf]], [[Kufa]], [[Bait ul-Muqaddas]], Cairo, and Yemen in a comprehensive tour, making him the first [[Mansoor]] ul-Yamane and Zaair il-Mashhadain il-'Azeemain to do so. Additionally, despite health problems, Abu Haatim, accompanied by Karam-e-Rehmani and Roohani Taaeed from Imam uz-Zamaan, accomplished the ''Taiyebi Daur'', the most difficult portion of ''safar-e-mubaarak'', successfully.
The childhood name of Abu Haatim is "Ayyubali", exemplifying the virtues of patience and forbearance that have been immortalized by Ayyub Nabi. The childhood [[memoirs]] of Abu Haatim are replete with descriptions of the strenuous training with respect to schooling and religion, under the forty second Da'i Saiyedna Badruddin Saheb who was his teacher and mentor. Daily ''daras'' consisted of preaching, [[anecdote]]s, stories, references, quotes, and advice from Qur'an-e-Majid, Hadees-e-Nabawi, Fiqh, Tawarikh, and Akhbaar. If he did not offer morning prayer, he was not allowed breakfast, and if he did not recite the [[Qur'an]] on getting up, he was severely and sternly punished.


On December 27, 1984, at Masjid-e-Noorani, Abu Haatim appointed Mazoon ud-Da'wat and Mansoos ud-Da'wat, the eldest son of Abu Haatim, at the fourth Rabi-ul-Aakhar. Abu Haatim's name ''Ṭayyib'' is derived from the name of the 21st Imam, Ṭayyib, who went into seclusion in 1130 as a result of the tyranny and oppression imposed by the other communities in [[Cairo]] when he was four years old. Abu Haatim lives in Daar us-Salaam, [[Vadodara]]. On May 23, 2015 Syedna Abu Hatim Tayyib Ziyauddin saheb died peacefully in Vadodara, Gujarat, India. He was succeeded in the post of Dai al Mutlaq by [[Haatim Zakiyuddin|Saiyedna Abu Sa'eed il-Khayr Haatim Zakiyuddin saheb]] (tus) as the 45th Dai al Mutlaq of the Alavi Bohra.
The prophecy of Abu Haatim's teacher and mentor, Saiyedna Badruddin Saheb, the forty second Da'i, was that the Alavi Da'wat community will attain unparallel heights under Abu Haatim, began to materialize immediately on his accession to the Da'wat's throne in c. 1974 (17th Rajab, 1394 AH), when the forty third Da'i, Saiyedna Yusuf Nuruddin Saheb died, after performing [[#Glossary|Nass]]-e-Jali i.e. appointing Abu Haatim as the forty fourth Da'i-e-Mutlaq.

In c. 1975 (1395 AH), Abu Haatim performed his Hajj-e-Baitullah with 27 followers, the same number which were present with Saiyedna Ali in [[Ahmedabad]] during the [[mutiny]] by the usurper of Ahl-e-Motaghallib. Abu Haatim performed the [[Hajj]] again in c. 1992 (1412 AH), thus making him the only Da'i to date who has performed the Hajj twice.

Despite irksome health problems, Abu Haatim, accompanied by Karam-e-Rehmani, and Roohani Taaeed from Imam uz-Zamaan, accomplished the most difficult part of ''safar-e-mubaarak'' satisfactorily.
