Darul Uloom Deoband was established in 1866 in the Saharanpur district of Uttar Pradesh, India, as part of the anti-British movement.
[3] Today, the Deobandi movement is one of the intellectual currents in Sistan and Baluchestan and preaching groups are active in different cities and villages.
With the occupation of Multan and Okara by Mir Chakar Rind and the settlement of Baloch tribes, these relationships entered a new phase.
After drafting some laws, Shamsul Haq Afghani remained in Balochistan at the insistence of the ruler of Kalat and took charge of the administration of religious affairs.
After that, Mir Ahmad Yar Khan founded a madrasa called "Jamia Nasiriya" in memory of his grandfather to educate Baloch students.
[7] In 1942, the governor of Kalat instructed the head of the Jamia Nasiriya to select thirty talented students who were academically advanced to send to Darul Uloom Deoband for further study.
Prior to their arrival, there was a low level of religious awareness in the region, and the people's thoughts were a mixture of superstition, traditionalism, sacredness of stones and trees, and worship of natural phenomena.
[citation needed] The mentioned students began a fight against superstition in remote villages and areas, cutting down trees that were considered sacred by the locals and eliminating the sanctity of natural phenomena.
[10] With the expansion of the activities of Deobandi seminary students, people's participation in religious ceremonies and attention to the rules of the Sharia increased in Balochistan.
As a result of the activities of the clergy, who had mostly studied in madrasas in Pakistan or India, mosques or places for religious ceremonies were built in many villages in Balochistan.
One day, he went to meet Ilyas Kandhlawi, the founder of the Tablighi Jaamat in India, and asked him for guidance on how to propagate religious affairs in Iran.
This group was from the Tablighi Jaamat Raiwind in Pakistan, who, with the support of Abdul Aziz and other scholars in the region, engaged in preaching in Iran for three years.
Nowadays, mosques in Zahedan, Iran Shahr, Khash, Saravan, Chabahar, Nikshahr and Konarak have Tablighi Jaamat circles.
