Religions and Sects
A majority of Chabahar's people are Baluchs linked to the Hanafi Sunni faith and very close to the Deobandi school in India. Their leader and main cleric is Maulana Abdul Rahman Mollazahi. He leads a big madrasa known as Arabia Islamia. Other faiths were also growing because of immigration. Shias linked to Ja'fari jurisprudence are most important after Sunnis. Other minority faiths also can be found in Chabahar, including the Baha'i Faith, Zikris and kojas or Ismaili.
