Qaidjoher Ezzuddin was born on 27 November 1942 (19 Dhu al-Qi'dah[1] 1361 Hijri). He is the eldest son of Mohammed Burhanuddin, thus Mohammed Burhanuddin selected his teknonymic kunya as Abu-al-Qaidjoher (Arabic: ابو القائد جوهر).
Ezzuddin has served under the administration of Dawat-e-Hadiyah[6] under the Da'i al-Mutlaq for over 50 years and has administered numerous community development and public relation projects.[7] He also heads the legal department of Dawat-e-Hadiyah[6] missions in governing the various trusts and foundations of the Dawoodi Bohra community.[7]
In 1987 (1407 Hijri) Ezzuddin was appointed one of four the rectors of Al Jamea tus Saifiyah.[4][5][7] He also headed the Dawoodi Bohra youth organization Shabab ul-Eidiz Zahabi.[7][8]
Ezzuddin was also a member of the Haj Committee of India from June 1999 to March 2003.[7] He is the Chairman of the Saifee Hospital Trust[9] and the Saifee Burhani Upliftment Trust (SBUT).[10][11]
Ezzuddin headed the project for the revival and restoration of the Great Mosque of Kufa in 2010, during the tenure of Mohammed Burhanuddin.[7]
Ezzuddin was appointed by Mohammed Burhanuddin as one of the witnesses of the Nass on Mufaddal Saifuddin, his brother, in 2005.[12] In 2011,[13] he was instructed to make a public announcement of this appointment in a Majlis[14] held in al Masjid ul Husseini[15] in Northolt; London on 5 June 2011. The video of this Majlis was recorded and was broadcast on the same day in Dawoodi Bohra community centers worldwide.[16]
Ezzuddin was appointed in the position of Mukasir by the 53rd Dai al-Mutlaq, Mufaddal Saifuddin,[1] on 27 Jumada al-Thani 1440H (4 March 2019).[citation needed]
