Introduction / History

The Muslim Nakib people in Pakistan have a long history, dating back centuries. They originated from various regions, including Persia and Central Asia, and settled in Pakistan during different waves of migration. Throughout history, they have been known for their skills in trade and craftsmanship, contributing significantly to the local economy.


What Are Their Lives Like?

The Muslim Nakib people primarily live in urban and semi-urban areas, where they engage in various trades and businesses. Many Nakib families run small shops or work as skilled artisans, passing down their crafts through generations. Education holds a growing importance, with more children attending schools and pursuing higher education. Despite urbanization, the Nakib people maintain strong family bonds and uphold their cultural traditions, which include vibrant celebrations of weddings and religious festivals.


What Are Their Beliefs?

The Muslim Nakib people practice Sunni Islam. They observe Islamic rituals and festivals with great reverence, and the mosque remains a focal point for both religious and community gatherings. Religious leaders provide spiritual guidance and mediate in community affairs, ensuring that Islamic principles are upheld.


What Are Their Needs?

The Muslim Nakib people face several challenges that impact their well-being. Access to quality healthcare and education needs improvement, particularly in semi-urban areas. Economic opportunities, though varied, can be limited, requiring support for small businesses and vocational training programs. Additionally, infrastructure development, such as better roads and sanitation, is essential to enhance their living conditions. Addressing these needs will help the Nakib community achieve greater stability and growth, improving their overall quality of life.


Prayer Points

Pray for their physical and spiritual needs be met.
Pray for Nakib family leaders to have dreams and visions of the risen and victorious Christ that will open their families to him.
Pray for Nakib disciples who will make more disciples for the glory of the King of kings.
