Saiyed Muhammad Qadri Fatemi (1948 – 15 August 2024), also known as Dada Bapu, was an Indian Sufi saint from Savarkundla, Gujarat. He was a spiritual leader in the Qadri Sufi order and the founder of the Faiz-e-Muhammadi Trust. He was known for his emphasis on spiritual education, interfaith harmony, and social reform across Gujarat.
Early life
Saiyed Muhammad was born in 1948 in Savarkundla, Amreli district, Gujarat. He belonged to a family of Sayyids tracing their lineage to the Prophet Muhammad. Influenced by Islamic spirituality from an early age, he became affiliated with the Qadri Sufi silsila (order), focusing on devotion (ishq-e-rasool), service, and humility.
Work and influence
Dada Bapu began guiding disciples in the 1970s and became known across Gujarat for his spiritual teachings, large gatherings, and annual Urs observances. He established the Faiz-e-Muhammadi Trust, which organized:
- Interfaith and communal harmony events
- De-addiction awareness campaigns (Vyasan Mukti Abhiyan)
- Educational, religious, and welfare programs in Savarkundla, Bhuj, Palitana, and other areas
He remained independent of political affiliation but was respected by leaders across communities. His addresses during religious functions and peace meetings were attended by thousands of followers.[1]
Death
Saiyed Muhammad Qadri Fatemi died on 15 August 2024 in Savarkundla at the age of 76. His passing was widely mourned in Gujarat. Prominent political figures, including Gujarat Minister Shaktisinh Gohil, visited his residence to pay respects.[2][3]
His funeral procession drew millions of followers, and tributes poured in from newspapers and religious organizations.[4]
Legacy
The annual Urs-e-Mubarak of Dada Bapu continues to be held in Savarkundla by his spiritual successors. His teachings and public work are preserved through the activities of the Faiz-e-Muhammadi Trust. He is remembered for his message of unity, spiritual service, and social upliftment.
