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.

Famous quotes containing the words religions and/or sects:
“Deism is good sense not yet instructed by revelation, and other religions are good sense perverted by superstition. All sects differ, because they come from men; morality is everywhere the same, because it comes from God.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
“The multiplication of individual sects should not fool us: the important point is that the whole of America is preoccupied with the sect as a moral institution, with its immediate demand for beatification, its material efficacity, its compulsion for justification, and doubtless also with its madness and frenzy.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
