Kamil sayed 20:58, 10 April 2018 (UTC)== THE RESINOUS IDENTITY OF ZIKRI BALOCH IN BALUCHISTAN == BELIEF OF ZIKRI SECT The word Zikri derives its origin from “Zikr” (Remembrance of God). According to the Census Report,1911: “This Sect is known  more or less indifferently both among themselves and others as Zikri or “Dai” Zikri because they  hold that the age for Namaz  or prayer has given way  to  the age for  Zikr”. The founder of Zikri greatly emphasized on Zikr and thus the Sect used to be called as Zikri (the follower of Hazrat Imam Mahdi who time and again remember God).According to Baluchistan District Gazetteer (Mekran), “Zikris derive their name from the Zikr, a formula which they repeat in the course of their devotion, much has been written about them by the opponents or partial observers which is misleading and time has yet not been found to make full justification”.

Dr. M.A Baloch in one of his articles amply mentions that before the Nasser Khan’s occupation of Mekran, the 100% of the population of Mekran were Zikris (locally called as Zigris) and they called themselves as “Momin". Abdul Haq Baloch’s account is quite different. To him, the founder of the sect was Mullah Muhammad Attocki whom the Zikris consider as Nur Pak. He appeared in A.H.977. Abdul Haq further writes that a travelogue (Safarnama-I-Mahdi) contains the details of Mullah Muhammad. The Zikris follow the teachings of Nur Pak, an Indian Sufi.     Abdul Ghani Baloch, a Zikri writer, believes the Zikri and Mahdavi movements to be similar and he tried to find coincidence between   the two movements and thus opined that Sayyad Muhammad Jaunpuri was the founder of the Zikri Sect.

Rituals and Practices Ethnic Unity Kalma-e- Shahadat is the most important factor, which makes the Zikri Sect controversial and provide platform to the non-Zikri religious leaders to claim the Zikris as Non-Muslims. However, the Zikri believe in the same Kalma as the Muslims. It goes without saying that the Zikris give immense importance to Imam Mahdi. It is a serious allegation on the Zikris that they do not believe in the finality of the Prophet (PBUH) and instead claim Mahdi to be the final Prophet. Abdul Ghani Baloch clearly mentions in his book that Hazrat Imam Mahdi is an Imam, not a Prophet and the entire Zikri community believes in the finality of Muhammad (PBUH). However, Inayatullah Baloch has a different point of view. To him the cardinal article of Zikri faith is that “There is no God but one God and Mahdi is His Prophet”. More or less, Abdul Haq Baloch advocates the same viewpoint. He even went a step further to claim that the whole Zikri literature supports this.
