The Shia population in Pakistan is variously estimated as being between 5-20% of the country's total population. The total number of Shias in Pakistan is estimated as about 25 million in 2009〔 to as high as 30 million in 2006 according to Vali Nasr. Pakistan's Shia population is estimated as 40 million in 2015.〔https://lubpak.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Shia-Genocide-in-Pakistan.pdf〕 Pakistan is the second-largest Shia country in the world after Iran.〔 ==History== It is unknown when the Shia community first established itself in what is now the state of Pakistan or in South Asia. The region that is now Pakistan has been conquered and ruled mostly by Sunni empires, such as the Ghaznavids, Ghurids, Timurid, Mughals, Durrani, and others. While Shi'a Muslims have found a refuge in Pakistan, tensions between them and Sunnis has resulted in the creation in recent years of Shi'a-specific organizations. Shias in Pakistan have also faced persecution by some Mughal Emperors which resulted in murder of Shia scholar Qazi Nurullah Shustari also known as Shaheed-e-Thaalis, which means the "Third Martyr". Many Nawabs were among the Shias who were rulers in present day India or Pakistan.〔(BBC News - Mughal Empire (1500s, 1600s) )〕 Ruqayyah bint Ali, the daughter of Ali bin Abi Talib through his wife Ummul Banin came to north western India (now Pakistan) in the seventh century. Ruqayyah bint Ali was the sister of Abbas ibn Ali and wife of Muslim ibn Aqeel. Her shrine in Lahore, Punjab, is visited by people all around and she is referred as Bibi Pak Daman. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shia Islam in Pakistan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
