Burhanuddin was born (born March 6, 1915) in Surat, Gujarat, India. He was appointed to be the future Dā‘ī at the age of 19 by his father, the previous Dā‘ī l-Muṭlaq, Taher Saifuddin. Burhanuddin succeeded his father, upon the latter's death, when he was 53 years of age. He has seven sons and three daughters and all members of his family reside at Saifee Mahal,Mumbai.

Burhanuddin completed recitation of the Quran in 1921. At around the age of 13, he escaped an accident when bridge railing collapsed while on travel in Colombo, where his vehicle got hung on one wheel. He got lakab of Burhanuddin at age of 15 on his occasion of misaq. He received the designation of hadiyath (Sheikh) from 51st Dai at the age of 17(1931 A.D.) and later designated as mazoon at the age of 20. He became hafiz at age of 21(1935 A.D.) and married Amatullah Aai two years later.

Much later (1381 AH) he made a trip to Yemen to visit the earlier Dais of Yemen and consequently received the designation of "Mansural-Yaman". At the age of 53(1965 A.D.) he became 52nd Dai on death of his father Taher Saifuddin.
