Dawoodi Bohra Arzi Format

In the Dawoodi Bohra community, an Arzi (or Ariza) is a formal letter of request, gratitude, or petition addressed to the al-Dai al-Mutlaq (currently His Holiness Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin). It serves as a vital bridge between a Mumin (believer) and the spiritual leader for matters ranging from personal life decisions to seeking spiritual blessings.

  • Produce a fully customized arzi for your exact situation (give me recipient role, name, key facts, and desired outcome), or
  • Convert any template into Gujarati/Urdu phrasing suitable for printing.
  1. Begin with Salutations: Start the Arzi with salutations, invoking the blessings of Allah, and offering respects to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his family, particularly the Imam and the Dai al-Mutlaq.
  2. Use Respectful Language: Employ respectful and dignified language throughout the Arzi, avoiding colloquialisms or informal expressions.
  3. Clearly State the Purpose: Clearly articulate the purpose of the Arzi, specifying the issue, problem, or concern that requires attention.
  4. Be Sincere and Repentant: Express genuine remorse and regret for past mistakes or shortcomings, and reaffirm loyalty and commitment to the community and its leadership.
  5. Seek Guidance and Forgiveness: Humbly request guidance, forgiveness, and blessings from the Dai al-Mutlaq, citing relevant Quranic verses or hadiths to support the plea.
  6. Close with Salutations: Conclude the Arzi with salutations, reiterating respect and loyalty to the Dai al-Mutlaq and the community.
