Meanwhile, Pakistan, as the second largest populated Islamic country that has a history of a five-thousand-year-old civilization with Iran, has long suffered from religious disunity, and this has affected its constructive relationship with its western neighbor, Iran, Is negative. Considering the tendencies and characteristics of the Iranian Shiite and the Sunnis of Sufism in Pakistan, it seems that one of the ways of approximation and unity is to pay more attention to the similar and common beliefs and traditions in the region, especially the Ahlul-Bayt AS) that exists in Shiism and Sufism in these areas. The emphasis of the Sufis on the attachment of his donkey to the people of Ahlul-Bayt (as), the resort to them, the pilgrimage of the Sadat and the Goblins, and … show the abundance of love affiliation of the Ahlul-Bayt (AS) is all different.
