He is a Qāriʾ and an honorary member of Naqabāt Qurrāʾ al-Quran (lit. 'Guild of Quran Reciters') in Cairo. He is currently the Chairman of Saifee Burhani Upliftment Trust.

He also administers other socio-economic institutions of the Dawoodi Bohra community. Burhanuddin is a recipient of All India Council for Human Rights' Ambassador for Peace Award.

Career

Early life

Burhanuddin was born on 24 December 1977 (15 Muḥarram al-Ḥarām 1398H) to Mufaddal Saifuddin and Jawaharatusharaf (née Najmuddin). He received his primary schooling at MSB Educational Institute in Mumbai.

Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah

Burhanuddin is a senior member of the executive board of Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah. He oversees the academic and administrative affairs of the academy. He also teaches at the academy.

Mahad al-Zahra

Husain Burhanuddin has been integral to Mahad al-Zahra's development. He focuses on Quranic science, recitation, and exegesis with a view to benefit the modern day society. In order to foster a better understanding of Quranic arts and sciences, under Burhanuddin's purview, Mahad al-Zahra distributed several guides and booklets to Dawoodi Bohra community centers world-wide, among them seven installments of Khazāʾin Maʿānī al-Qurʾān al-Fāʾiqah, a series for the non-Arabic speaking audiences to gain an insight into the meanings of the Quran.

Burhanuddin's emphasis on audio-visual teaching aids to facilitate learning has accelerated Quranic education within the community: Through its e-learning program, Mahad al-Zahra attracts thousands of applicants from around the world to participate in a combination of virtual classes along with one-to-one recital sessions through video-conferencing and internet telephony, aiding huffaz as young as 6 years old.

As of 2020, more than 8 branches of Mahad al-Zahra have been established at Dawoodi Bohra centers in India, Kenya, Kuwait, Pakistan, Tanzania, UAE, USA, and Yemen.

As the head of the Mahad al-Zahra, Burhanuddin conducts the final oral examinations for the Huffaz (lit. 'guardians of the Quran').

Community Outreach

Under Burhanuddin's leadership, Mahad al-Zahra has become one of Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah's largest avenues for community outreach. Over the past two decades, the department has extended access to Quranic education to members of the Dawoodi Bohra community through numerous educational institutions established across the globe.

Burhanuddin frequently visits Dawoodi Bohra community centers in the Indian Sub-continent, Middle East, East Africa, Europe, and the United States to encourage accurate recitation of the Quran and facilitate its memorization: Between 2007 and 2011, at various venues, Burhanuddin conducted 3-day workshops designed to motivate and teach participants Quran memorization techniques.

Under Burhanuddin's administration, ḥuffāẓ are sent to various cities and towns all over the world during the month of Ramadān al-Muʿazzam, to conduct classes that help children as well as adults recite and memorize the Quran.

Today, he is said to be overlooking almost all the major departments and organisation of Dawat-e-Hadiyah an acting as the prime handler of the daily affairs of the organisation.

Burhanuddin called on Narendra Modi in November 2020, at the Prime Minister's office to discuss on various projects and initiatives by the Dawoodi Bohra community.

During the Narendra Modi's visit to Egypt in June 2023, Burhanuddin welcomed him and showed him around the Al Hakim Mosque, renovated by his late grand father, Mohammed Burhanuddin II.

Quranic studies

By 1995 (1416H) he had completed memorization of the Quran. Three years later, in 1998, he graduated from Aljamea-tus-Saifiyah with the degree of al-Faqih al-Jayyid (lit. 'The Distinguished Jurist').

Shortly after memorizing the Quran, Burhanuddin frequented Cairo to study the art of recitation as well as the sciences of Quranic readings. He later released audio recording of the entire Quran in the murattal style of recitation, certified by al-Azhar University, Cairo.

Burhanuddin, in his capacity as a Qari, delivers 30-minute mujawwad recitations of the Quran which precede the sermons delivered by Mufaddal Saifuddin, especially during Ashara Mubarāka, since 2012.

On 29 Dhu al-Hijja 1439H (9 September 2018), he was certified in the Ten recitations al-Sughra from the recitations of al-Shatebiya and al-Durra. On 25 July 2022, he published a book on the Ten recitations titled قراءات زاهرة لكتاب الله which was published and certified by 'Muṣḥaf Revision Committee' at Al-Azhar University.
