Jat Muslim or Musalman Jats (Punjabi: جٹ مسلمان; Urdu: مسلمان جٹ), also spelled Jatt or Jutt (Punjabi pronunciation: [d͡ʒəʈːᵊ]), are an elastic and diverse ethnoreligious subgroup of the Jat people, who follow Islam and are native to the northwestern Indian subcontinent. They are primarily found in Sindh and Pakistani Punjab. Some are also found in Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh, where they are known as Muley Jats.
The Jats began converting to Islam during the early medieval period, influenced by Sufis like Baba Farid. The conversion process was gradual.
