Arif Hussain Al Hussaini (Urdu: علامہ عارف حسين الحسينى; 25 November 1946 – 5 August 1988) was a Twelver Shīʿā Muslim scholar, Islamist ideologue, Islamic jurist, and Islamic revolutionary political leader of Shia Muslims in Pakistan. He is also known as Khomeini-e-Pakistan for his activities, which earned him the reputation of being one of the most prominent advocates for the Shia population of Pakistan and Islamic revival of the Ja'fari school of Islamic jurisprudence in the country. He condemned the ideas of secularism, liberalism and communism, which he understood to be the influence of Western and Soviet imperialism. He was assassinated in 1988 at aged 41.
