Bohra Jamaat & Masjid, Karachi — Pakistan's Largest Bohra Community

Karachi is home to one of the largest Dawoodi Bohra communities in the world outside India and East Africa. The city's Bohra population traces its roots to merchants from Gujarat who settled in Sindh and what is now Pakistan during the era of the British Raj and the active Bohra mercantile tradition. The Karachi Bohra jamaat maintains several major masjids, including the grand Bohra Masjid in the Saddar area — one of the most prominent Islamic institutions in Karachi's old commercial district. The community runs schools, charitable institutions, and a vibrant religious calendar following the Dawat of Syedna al-Dai al-Mutlaq (TUS). In the month of Moharram, the Bohra community of Karachi observes Ashara Mubaraka with deep devotion — the Masjid fills with mumineen from across Pakistan and from the diaspora. Karachi's Bohra community has been a significant force in Pakistan's business and civic life, continuing the mercantile and community-service tradition that is a hallmark of Bohra history wherever the community has settled.
