This article will jog down the efforts of Islamization in Pakistan over the period of time, by highlighting important laws formulated in this regard and will also provide and analysis of how this process of Islamization has impacted the society. Islamization as a state policy has resulted into formulation of laws and amendments in the constitutions, yet its impacts on the society due to political policies are everlasting, as governments over the period of time, turned blind eye towards sectarianism partly due to geopolitical and geostrategic situation since 1970s onwards, as the governmental regulations and international funding paved the way for many things which resulted into rigidity and conservativeness. This article will also provide an analysis of Islamization process and propose a way forward in this regard.
