Taiyabi Ismaili
Ṭayyibīyyah/Ṭayyibī fiqh or Mustā‘līyyah/Mustā‘lī fiqh is a fiqh system associated with the Mustā‘lī branch of Ismailism that split with the Fatimid supporting Hafizi branch by believing Taiyab abi al-Qasim was the rightful Imam. They are the surviving branch of the Mustaali and have split into Dawoodi Bohra, Sulaimani Bohra, and Alavi Bohra.
History
Upon the death of the 20th Imam Al-Amir(d. AH 526 (1131/1132)), his two year old Child Tayyib (b. AH 524 (1129/1130)) was appointed 21st Imam. As he was not in position to run the dawah, Queen Arwa al-Sulayhi was authorized by Imam Al-Amir to run the matter. The Dai-ul-Mutlaq had now been given absolute authority and made independent from political activity. Because of the Fatimid, the dawat was able to survive even after the fall of the Sulehid Dynasty.
Da'i Zoeb bin Moosa
Dai Zoeb bin Moosa used to live in and died in Haus, Yemen. His mazoon was Syedna Khattab bin Hasan. After death of Moulai Abadullah, Zoeb bin Moosa appointed Maulai Yaqoob as the wali ("representative" or "caretaker") of the Fatimid Dawat in India. Moulai Yaqoob was the first person of Indian origin to receive this honour. He was son of Moulai Bharmal, minister of Rajput King Siddhraja Jaya Singha. They all along with minister Moulai Tarmal had honoured Fatimid Dawat along with their fellow citizens on the call of Moulai Abdullah. Moulai Fakhruddin son of Moulai Tarmal was sent to western Rajasthan, India. One Dai after another were continued till 24th Dai Yusuf Najmuddin ibn Sulaiman in Yemen. Due to prosecution by local ruler the Dawat then shifted to India under 25th Dai Jalal bin Hasan.
Sūlaymānī-Dāwūdī split
In 1592 AD, the Taiyabi broke into two factions in a dispute over who should become the 27th Dai: Dawūd Burhanu d-Dīn Qutb Shāh or Sulayman bin Hassan. The followers of the former, primarily in India, became the Dawoodi, the latter the Sulaymani of Yemen.
At present the largest Taiyabi-descended faction is the Dawoodi Bohra whose current leader was disputed and as yet is unresolved.
