Saiyedna Abu Haatim Taiyeb Ziyauddin Saheb (born August 6, 1932) is the forty fourth and current Da'i-e-Mutlaq (Spiritual & Temporal Head) of the Taiyebi Alavi Da'wat community, in succession from the first Da'i-e-Mutlaq, Saiyedna Zoeb bin Moosa. His teacher and mentor, Saiyedna Badruddin Saheb, the forty second Da'i, prophesized that under Abu Haatim, the community would attain to unparallel heights. During Abu Haatim's 30-odd years of tenure, since his ascension in 1974 (17th Rajab-ul-Murajjab, 1394 AH), the community has witnessed great strides, both locally and internationally, not only in education, economic prosperity, and religion, but also in the growing awareness among its youth, in regard to their identity and religious roots.

Abu Haatim's name, "Taiyeb", is derived from the name of the twenty first Imam, Imam Taiyeb, who went into seclusion in c. 1109 as a result of the tyranny and oppression, imposed by the other communities in Cairo at the time when he was just four years old. Following the advice of Maulatana Hurrat ul-Maleka, a Hujjat of the twentieth Imam al-Aamir, appointed Saiyedna Zoeb bin Moosa as the first Da'i-ul-Mutlaq in Yemen. Thus, from the first Da'i, solemnized in c. 1112 in Yemen until Abu Haatim, the present forty fourth Badr-e-Muneer of Falak-e-Da'wat, the Da'wat mission has been kept alive. According to the hadith of Mohammed, the direct descendants of Maulatana Fatemat uz-Zahra will succeed one another till Qaaim ul-Qeyaama descends on Qiyamah, the Day of Judgement.

The prophecy of Abu Haatim's teacher and mentor, Saiyedna Badruddin Saheb, the forty second Da'i, was that the Alavi Da'wat community will attain unparallel heights under Abu Haatim, began to materialize immediately on his accession to the Da'wat's throne in c. 1974 (17th Rajab, 1394 AH), when the forty third Da'i, Saiyedna Yusuf Nuruddin Saheb died, after performing Nass-e-Jali i.e. appointing Abu Haatim as the forty fourth Da'i-e-Mutlaq.

In c. 1975 (1395 AH), Abu Haatim performed his Hajj-e-Baitullah with 27 followers, the same number which were present with Saiyedna Ali in Ahmedabad during the mutiny by the usurper of Ahl-e-Motaghallib. Abu Haatim performed the Hajj again in c. 1992 (1412 AH), thus making him the only Da'i to date who has performed the Hajj twice. He was honored to become the first Mansoor ul-Yamane and Zaair il-Mashhadain il-'Azeemain, to visit Karbala, Shaam, Najaf, Kufa, Bait ul-Muqaddas, Cairo, and Yemen in a comprehensive tour, spanning a period of almost twelve months, in the year c. 2000 (1420 AH).
