پاڪستان ۾ مذھب

پاڪستان جو سرڪاري مذهب، جيئن ته پاڪستان جو آئين 1973ع جي آرٽيڪل 2 ۾ شامل آهي، اسلام آهي ۽ ان تي ملڪ جي آبادي جي وڏي اڪثريت (%96.35) عمل ڪري ٿي.   باقي %3.65 هندومت، عيسائيت، احمدي، جنهن کي پاڪستان جي آئين ۾ هڪ غير مسلم گروهه قرار ڏنو ويو آهي، سک مت، زرتشتي مذھب ۽ ٻين مذهبن تي عمل ڪن ٿا.

مسلمانن ۾ ڪيترائي فرقا شامل آهن. هنن جي اڪثريت (اندازا %85-%90) سني اسلام تي عمل ڪري ٿي، جڏهن ته هڪ اقليت (اندازا %10-%15) شيعه اسلام تي عمل ڪري ٿي. گهڻا پاڪستاني سني مسلمان امام ابو حنيفه جي فقه تي عمل ڪرڻ ٿا، جنهن جي نمائندگي بريلوي ۽ ديوبندي مسلڪن سان ڪئي وئي آهي. بهرحال اهلحديث مسلڪ پڻ، وچ اوڀر کان وهابي اثر سان، گڏجي مقبوليت حاصل ڪئي آهي. پاڪستاني شيعه مسلمانن جي اڪثريت اثنا عشري مسلڪ کان تعلق رکي ٿي، جڏهن ته اسماعيلي آغاخاني، مستعالي، دائودي  ۽ سليماني  بوهرا شيعه اسلام جا ننڌا گروهه اهن.

8هين صدي عيسوي ۾ اسلام جي آمد کان اڳ، پاڪستان تي مشتمل علائقو ڪيترن ئي عقيدن، جنهن ۾ هندومت، ٻڌمت، جين مت ۽ زرتشت مت شامل آهن، جو گھر هو.

 1951 census 

After partition, when first census of Pakistan was conducted in the year 1951, It was found that the Muslim proportion in West Pakistan (contemporary Pakistan) increased from approximately 77.3 percent according to the 1941 census, to 97.1 percent as per the 1951 census; in contrast, the combined Hindu and Sikh proportion in West Pakistan (contemporary Pakistan) decreased from approximately 20.7 percent to just 1.7 percent during the same timeframe, as the 1947 Partition of India gave rise to bloody rioting and indiscriminate inter-communal killing of Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs across the Indian subcontinent, especially in Punjab region. As a result, around 7.3 million Hindus and Sikhs moved to India and 7.2 million Muslims moved to Pakistan permanently, leading to demographic change of both the nations to a certain extent.

 2017 census 
As per 2017 Census of Pakistan, the country has a population of 207,684,000.The CCI approved the release of provisional population figures of 207.754 million people. The final results showed the total population of Pakistan to be 207.684 million, a reduction of 68,738 people or 0.033% against provisional results.

As of 2018, there are 3.63 million non-Muslim voters in Pakistan- 1.77 million were Hindus, 1.64 million Christians, 167,505 were Ahmadi, 31,543 were Baháʼís, 8,852 were Sikhs, 4,020 were Parsis, 1,884 were Buddhist and others such as Kalashas.

 Details 
Pakistan Bureau of Statistics released religious data of Pakistan Census 2017 on 19 May 2021. 96.47% are Muslims, followed by 2.14% Hindus, 1.27% Christians, 0.09% Ahmadis and 0.02% others.

These are some maps of religious minority groups. The 2017 census showed an increasing share in Hinduism, mainly caused by a higher birth rate among the impoverished Hindus of Sindh province. This census also recorded Pakistan's first Hindu-majority district, called Umerkot District, where Muslims were previously the majority.

On the other hand, Christianity in Pakistan, while increasing in raw numbers, has fallen significantly in percentage terms since the last census. This is due to Pakistani Christians having a significantly lower fertility rate than Pakistani Muslims and Pakistani Hindus as well as them being concentrated in the most developed parts of Pakistan, Lahore District (over 5% Christian), Islamabad Capital Territory (over 4% Christian), and Northern Punjab.

The Ahmadiyya movement shrunk in size (both raw numbers and percentage) between 1998 and 2017, while remaining concentrated in Lalian Tehsil, Chiniot District, where approximately 13% of the population is Ahmadi.

Here are some maps of Pakistan's religious minority groups as of the 2017 census by district:
