As already mentioned, Muslims and Hindus reside in the district. Muslims are in a overwhelming majority. According to the 1981 census 97 percent of the population was Muslim and 3 percent Hindu. The Muslims are divided into Suni and Shia sects. The majority of the Suni sects is Brailvi or follower of the saints (Sofi). The mullah, he performs Nikah, leads Eid, Juma, prayer at the time of a burial (Janaza) and five times prayers. Persons belonging to the Syed family are also respected and are called Sain.

Important festivals are Edi-ul-Fitur, Eid-ul-Zuha, Eid-Milad and Mohrum. In addition, when an important Sofi dies, a three days gathering is held, called Uris or Milla. During these three days different singers called Faqir sing the poetry of the Sofi. A very important gathering of this type was held at Fithapur, when Sofi Rakhal Shah and Chaizel Shah died.

The influence of the religion in the district is positive. There are no fundamentalist trends. Religious practices are limited to saying prayers at the time of birth, death and marriages.

Hindus have their different religious belief. Their religious leaders are called Bava or Bambhan. A Bambhan is usually a Brahman, while a Bava is the religious leader of a specific temple called Marhi. Important Hindu festivals are Shiv, Holi, Dasahra and Dewali, which are celebrated in February, March, August and October respectively, according to adjustment to their own calendar. Hindus are divided into two sects vegetarians and non-vegetarians.
