KANODAR SHIA ISNA ASHARI MOMIN JAMAT (PAKISTAN) was formed by the Momineens migrated from India. In 1947 when Pakistan was created most of the Muslims from different parts of India started migrating to Pakistan. During this period some Momineens from Kanodar also came to Pakistan. The number of such Momineens was very low which could be counted on finger tips. Also most of the Momineens who came to Pakistan at the time of independence were only male members where as Muslims from other part of India who migrated to Pakistan were with their families. The reason being that in almost whole of India where Muslim population was inhabited there were severe rioting by the Hindu dominants. Muslims were massacred brutally and their properties lusted and destroyed by the Hindu zealots. These Muslims were compelled for mass exodus or either opted for migration. Where as in Gujrat province the atmosphere was relatively calm and the Muslims in this province were also well settled and here seemed less inclined towards migration to a new place.
Thus the Momineens from Kanodar who came to Pakistan in the early period i.e. in the year 1947/1948 did not travel for migration but their intention was purely for business. Some of them were even frequent travelers and couriers of goods. Some of them were cloth merchants and used to bring cloth to Pakistan by land route, ships and even by chartered plans. During their short business visits they realized the blessings and benefits of a sore region and independent state where they can practice their religion freely and without any fear according to their faith and beliefs. There fore the Momineens who were in Pakistan called their families and relatives to come and settle down in Pakistan.
The Momineens from Kanodar came to Karachi and settled here for their business and trading later after the year 1950/1951. Two to three families moved to Hyderabad but all other families remained in Karachi. This is the reason at present all the Jamat members are living in Karachi and Hyderabad cities only. Almost all the Momineens who settled in Pakistan were earning their livelihood by doing small business and trading. They were in cloth, mill and hoteling business with the passage of time the dreadful atmosphere was setting down and the life was returning to normal. The law and order was being enforced strictly and the movement of immigration across the boards was being checked by imposing permit system for the Momineens in Karachi. It was time to pay full attention to their business, education for children and establish a centralized community centre for religious and social activities for the betterment and benefits of Jamat members.
