definition: Fuqra is an Arabic word that translates as “the impoverished.” Jamaat ul Fuqra (Community of the Impoverished) was founded in 1980 by the Pakistani cleric Sheikh Mubarak (Shah) Ali Gilani and advocates the purification of Islam by force and violence. Although active in the guerrilla war in Kashmir, Jamaat ul Fuqra has maintained a low profile in Pakistan, especially during its early years.
