Almost all inhabitants of Ziarat district are Muslims and practice the Sunni faith. Men as well as women offer prayers five times a day, fully fast in the month of Ramzan-ul-Mubarak and celebrate all religious festivals with fervour. Women strictly observe purdah, and normally stay inside the house. Most of the young boys and girls attend mosques to learn the Holy Quran. The district has about fifteen madrassa’s (religious schools) where boys come for religious education from far and near places.
