Tehreek-e-Jafaria Pakistan (Urdu: تحریکِ جعفریہ پاکستان, lit. 'Pakistan Movement of the Ja'fari'; TJP), formerly Tehreek Nifaz Fiqah-e-Jafaria Arif Hussaini/Sajid Naqvi Group (TNFJ Sajid Naqvi Group) was the Shia political party in Pakistan from 1979 to 2000. Belonging to the Ja'fari school of Islamic jurisprudence, TNFJ (Arif Hussaini Group) was founded in 1979 by Syed Arif Hussain Al Hussaini supported by Grand Ayatollah Muhammad Hussain Najafi Dhaku. Its creation coincided with the enforcement of controversial Islamic laws by then President of Pakistan, General Mohammad Zia-ul-Haq. At the same time, 1979 Iranian Revolution in Shi'a Iran added extra confidence and comfort in the movement.
In 1988, TJP under the leadership of Molana Sajid Naqvi contested in general elections but failed to win a single seat. After getting banned twice, TJP is working as Shia Ulema Council under the leadership of Allama Sajid Ali Naqvi.[2]
Jafaria Students Organization Pakistan, founded in 1997, was the student wing of TJP.
