Syedna Ali Shamshuddin Bin Ibrahim (d. November 13, 1345 or 18 Rajabul Asab 746, Hasne Afida,[1] near Al Maḩārīq, Sanaa, Hamdan, Yemen) was the 13th Dai of Taiyabi Musta‘lī Bohra Islam. He succeeded the 12th Dai, Mohammed Bin Hatim, to the religious post. Shamshuddin became Da'i al-Mutlaq in 729 AH (1345 AD).[2] His period of Dawat was from 729-746 AH (1329-1345 AD) for about 16 years and 7 months.
It is related that during the time of his father Syedna Ibrahim, Syedna Ali had captured the fortress of Kowkaban. Due to this the Zaidi Imam Al-Mahdi Muhammad bin al-Mutahhar/Mohammed bin Mutah’har (Ruler of Sana’a) envied Syedna and set out to attack Kowkaban.[3] Ali Shamshuddin was succeeded by the 14th Dai Syedna Abdul Muttalib who was his Mazoon (Associate).
