Abstract
Roshaniyya Movement is named after Pir Roshan or Rokhan, a title given to Bayazid Ansari. He belonged to Kaniguram in South Waziristan. He had started his religious movement (which later on turned into a political one) from his native land. He was able to gather a large following in today's tribal areas of Pakistan, including South Waziristan, Dawar (North Waziristan) and Tirah (Khyber Agency) etc. The people of tribal areas devotedly extended their support to Bayazid Ansari. This paper is an attempt to highlight the evolution of Roshaniyya Movement and activities of Bayazid Ansari in these areas.
