-In the [[Fatimid]] era [[Ismaili]] faith, the term ''dā'ī'' has been used to refer to important religious leaders other than the hereditary [[Shi'a Imam|Imam]]s, and the Da'wa or "Mission" is a clerical-style organisation. Literally meaning "absolute missionary" or "unrestricted missionary", ''[[Da'i al-Mutlaq]]'' is nowadays the title of the head of the [[Dawoodi Bohra]] community.<ref>[http://archive.mumineen.org/awliya/duat/52duat.html List of Dawoodi Bohra Da'is] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120716180440/http://archive.mumineen.org/awliya/duat/52duat.html |date=July 16, 2012 }}</ref>
