Alavi Bohra

Alavi Bohra is a branch of the Dawoodi Bohra community, a subgroup within Isma'ili Shia Islam. They primarily reside in India, Pakistan, and East Africa. Alavi Bohras follow specific religious leaders and traditions distinct from other Bohra groups, emphasizing community unity, religious education, and charitable activities. Their practices include attending mosques, celebrating Islamic festivals, and maintaining a strong sense of cultural identity. Though they share core Islamic beliefs, their unique rituals and leadership structure set them apart within the broader Bohra and Shia Muslim communities.
